The Kapoor family has given us so much joy through cinema, and it's touching to see them united in grief. Nirmalji must have been an amazing woman to raise such successful yet grounded children. 90 years is a good innings - what a life well lived!

This made me emotional. In our fast-paced lives, we often forget to appreciate our parents until it's too late. Anil Kapoor's words remind me to call my mother today. The photos shared are so precious - that old family photo with all three brothers is priceless!

While the tribute is beautiful, I wish media would give families more privacy during such times. The constant coverage of celebrity funerals sometimes feels intrusive. That said, the Kapoors have handled this with such grace - true class.

"A silent pillar" - what a perfect way to describe so many Indian mothers! They work tirelessly behind the scenes without expecting any credit. This tribute hits home because it could be about any of our moms. Condolences to the Kapoor parivaar ❤️

The outpouring of support from Bollywood shows how respected the Kapoor family is. At 90, Nirmalji saw India change so much - from black & white films to OTT platforms! Her legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren in the industry. Om Shanti.
