"Your smile lights up every room": Anil Kapoor sends love to daughter Sonam Kapoor on birthday

Mumbai, June 9

Actor Anil Kapoor has showered his daughter, Sonam Kapoor, with much love and warmth, wishing her on her birthday.

Anil Kapoor shared a special video, comprising adorable family photos and rare candid moments.

In his caption, Kapoor wrote, "Happy Birthday, Sonam. So much has been said about you, but none of it can truly capture just how precious, beautiful and deeply loved you are...Your smile lights up every room (and my whole heart), and your warmth touches everyone fortunate enough to know you."

He went on to wish for her happiness, love and laughter.

"Not just on your special day, but every single day, I simply want to wish you all the happiness your heart can hold. May life, and everyone you hold close continue to shower you with love, laughter and countless beautiful moments - the kind of moments that make a life unbearably beautiful! Love you so much beta!" the actor added.

Many reacted to the post, wishing Sonam on her birthday. The 'Saawariya' actor commented, "Love you, daddy," while her mother, Sunita Kapoor, also showered love on the post.

Sonam Kapoor, who made her film debut with 2007's 'Saawariya', has won hearts with her work in 'Neerja', 'Raanjhanaa', 'Veere Di Wedding', and 'Delhi 6.' After the birth of her son, she took a break from films to spend time with her family.

She was last seen in the 2023 crime thriller 'Blind,' directed by Shome Makhija, alongside Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey.

Sonam Kapoor got married to Anand Ahuja in 2018 and welcomed their first child, Vayu, in 2022. The couple became parents to their second child, son Rudralokh in March this year.

"Your smile lights up every room" — what a beautiful message! Anil Kapoor knows how to make his daughter feel special. This is the kind of parenting we need to see more of in our country. Sonam is truly blessed to have such a supportive family! 👨‍👧

Honestly, I'm a bit envious of their family dynamics. 😅 In many Indian households, people don't express such emotions openly, especially fathers to daughters. Anil Kapoor is breaking stereotypes and setting a wonderful example. Sonam, keep shining! And congratulations on the new baby too! 🌟

I know it's a sweet post, but let's not forget that most Bollywood actors have teams writing their captions. Still, the gesture is nice, and Sonam is a talented actress. Her film 'Neerja' was absolutely brilliant! Happy birthday to her! 🎉

As someone from the West, I love seeing such heartfelt moments in Indian families. The emotion in Anil Kapoor's words is genuine and universal. Sonam is lucky to have such a doting father. Happy birthday from across the globe! 🌍✨

This is so pure! Anil Kapoor has always been a class act on and off screen. His love for his children is evident. However, it would be nice if Bollywood celebrities also used their platform for more social causes instead of just personal posts. Just my two cents! 🤔
