Anil Kapoor had recently opened up about his love story with Sunita Kapoor to the Humans of Bombay page. Reminiscing how his love story started with a prank call, Anil was quoted as saying, “A friend of mine gave Sunita my number to prank call me––that’s when I first spoke to her and fell in love with her voice! Soon after, we met at a party––there was just something about her. We started talking and became friends. We used to discuss this other girl I liked - you know, if I like her or she likes me? Then suddenly that girl vanished, leaving me heartbroken – our friendship strengthened because of that! Little did I know that Sunita was the one all along – we started dating organically. It’s not like in the movies––I didn’t ask her to be my girlfriend––we both just knew.” (Must Read: MS Dhoni Asks Ziva Dhoni 'How Are You' In Five Languages, She Can Give You Linguistics Lessons)

Anil had further added as to how Sunita has always been his constant support and his pillar of strength. The 66-year-old actor had shared, “She was from a liberal family––a banker’s daughter with a modelling career and I was bekaar! She didn’t care who I was or what my profession is - none of it mattered! I lived in Chembur and she lived on Nepeansea road – it took me an hour to reach by bus. She would start screaming, ‘No come fast by cab!’ and I’d say ‘Arrey I don’t have money’ then she’d say ‘Just come na’ and pay for my cab!”
He had further added, “We dated for 10 years––we travelled and grew together. She was always clear that she won’t enter the kitchen. If I said ‘cook’ I’d get a kick! I knew I needed to become something before asking her to marry me. I went through the struggle of not getting work, but she supported me unconditionally.”
Speaking about 45 years of their friendship and love, Anil went on to say, “Honestly, she knows me better than I know me. We’ve built our life; our home together. We’ve raised 3 kids and been through ups and downs. But I feel like we’re finally dating now – romantic walks and dinners have just begun! We’ve been together 45 years––45 years of friendship, love and companionship. They don’t make people like her anymore. She’s the perfect mother, perfect wife and the reason I wake up every morning, motivated. You know why? When I ask her, ‘Arrey, yesterday only gave you so much money’ she says, ‘Woh sab khatam ho gaya...it’s all finished!’ and I jump out of bed and run to work!”
In another interview, Anil had once said that the secret to his happy marriage is his wife, Sunita. The Fanney Khan actor had retorted, “I am blessed that I got to spend my life with my friend, who first became my girlfriend, and then my wife. The film industry is a tough place to be in. You are constantly in the media glare. Plus, there are so many temptations out there all the time. But the secret to my happy marriage is Sunita. She is the one who has made it work, and tolerated all my eccentricities.” (Also Read: Esha Deol And Bharat Takhtani's Baby's Day Out With Daughter, Radhya, Her Pregnancy Glow Is Evident)
