Heartbreaking to see the younger Kapoors grieving. Losing a grandparent is always tough, no matter how old you are. The photos of Khushi and Shanaya were especially emotional. Wishing the family strength during this difficult time.

While I respect the family's privacy, I wish media would give them more space during such personal moments. The constant camera flashes at funerals feel intrusive. That said, the Kapoors have handled everything with such dignity.

90 years is a good long life! My nani also passed at 92 last year. These strong matriarchs hold the family together. Nirmal ji must have been the glue for the Kapoors. Hope they find comfort in all the beautiful memories.

Interesting to see Shikhar Pahariya there with Janhvi. The Kapoor family seems to have accepted him despite all the rumors. When families come together in grief, all differences fade away. Life is too short for anything else.
