The Kapoor family has given us so much joy through cinema, and it's touching to see their personal moments of grief and remembrance. Nirmal ji must have been an amazing woman to raise such a talented family. Om Shanti 🪔

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish celebrities would share more about their parents' lives rather than just memorial posts. Nirmal Kapoor sounds like an incredible woman - would love to know more about her journey beyond being a star mom!

Seeing the childhood photo during puja reminds me of my own mother's traditions. In Indian families, mothers are truly the keepers of our culture. May Nirmal ji's soul rest in peace, and may her family find strength in these difficult times.

Arjun Kapoor's words about his dadi made me emotional. Grandparents have such a special place in Indian families - they're our connection to roots and unconditional love. This Mother's Day, let's cherish all the mother figures in our lives 💖

The Kapoor family's public grieving makes me uncomfortable sometimes. Grief is personal, and in our culture, we usually keep it within the family. But maybe times are changing and sharing helps with healing. Different strokes for different folks.
