During his recent airport appearance, the paparazzi couldn’t overlook the screensaver on Arjun Kapoor’s phone, which happened to be a cherished picture of his late mother, Mona Shourie.
Arjun Kapoor was quite close to his mother, Mona Shourie, who passed away in 2012 due to multiple organ failure. The loss occurred just days before the release of his debut film, Ishaqzaade. Arjun frequently pays tribute to his late mother through social media posts, and during a recent public appearance, paparazzi couldn’t help but notice the screensaver on his phone – a picture of Mona Shourie.
In a video shared on a paparazzi’s social media account, Arjun Kapoor can be seen making his way to the airport entrance. He was dressed in a purple sweatshirt and black trousers, donning tinted sunglasses and a cap. Holding his phone in his hand, the paparazzi captured a glimpse of his screensaver, which prominently featured a picture of his mother. Mona Shourie was the first wife of Boney Kapoor and the mother of Arjun and Anshula Kapoor.
Earlier this year, on Mother’s Day, Arjun Kapoor shared a heartfelt throwback picture from his childhood days, featuring him, his mother Mona Shourie, and his sister Anshula, along with several other children. In the caption, he wrote, “Keep watching over us Maa.”
He also shared a heartfelt post for his mother on her death anniversary this year. “I never cared what anyone said or felt cause I always had u In front of me to make me realise who & what I was… 11 years have passed since u become the shield that protects me from beyond but I still wish u were here because in this cruel world today I try & handle all the hate but I really miss ur love which made me deal with everything with a smile on my face and made me a better person a happier person a calmer person perhaps maybe a more alive soul… I’m still this lost child without u Maa… I look for you everywhere because I’m lost just like I’m this picture but I always believe ur smiling and looking after me somehow just like in this picture…We shall meet someday soon,” he wrote.
In addition to the note, Arjun Kapoor also posted a candid picture of his younger self with his mother, likely taken at a special event.
On the professional front, Arjun Kapoor’s most recent appearance was in the film Kuttey, in which he co-starred alongside Tabu, Radhika Madan, Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Kumud Mishra. He is also set to appear in The Lady Killer, alongside Bhumi Pednekar.
