Anshula Kapoor Talks About Her Parents, Boney And Mona Kapoor's Divorce, 'I Would Have Ever Been...'

Earlier this year, in 2025, Anshula Kapoor, the daughter of renowned film producer, Boney Kapoor and Mona Kapoor, made headlines with her engagement announcement. For the uninitiated, on July 3, 2025, Arjun Kapoor’s baby sister, Anshula, took to her Instagram handle to announce her engagement to her longtime beau, Rohan Thakkar. In a past interview, Anshula talked about how her parents' divorce took a toll on her. Now, in a fresh interview, Anshula shared how her mother, Mona, helped her regain her confidence after the separation.

Anshula Kapoor opens up about her childhood guilt after her parents’ divorce

In a recent interview with The Quint, Anshula shared that at the age of five or six, she lost her confidence after her parents, Boney and Mona, got separated. She opened up about her childhood guilt of blaming herself for her parents’ divorce. She mentioned that it was her mother who later made her understand that relationships are between two people, and as a child, she was never the reason behind their separation. She was quoted as saying:

"Under confidence seeped into my being, perhaps at the age of five or six, once my parents separated. I, for the longest time, thought that my parents’ relationship didn’t work out because of me, that I was the root cause of it. For a six-year-old to carry that weight is a lot. However, it was my mom who helped me understand that relationships are between two people. They start and end because of things that happen between those two people. And that, as a child, you have no bearing on them."

Anshula Kapoor shares how her parents’ separation made her resilient

In the same interview, Anshula shared that from her childhood days, she had to be resilient. She mentioned how some aunties gave her judgmental looks and how people became silent when she entered a group. These things made her resilient, but also made her isolated at the same time. In her words:

"I don’t remember a single moment in my life — even as a child — where I didn’t have to be resilient. Navigating the separation of my parents, when nobody really understood what was going on, was a lot. Add to that all those aunties giving you side-eyes and judgy looks, people suddenly going silent when you enter a group, and others just not wanting to talk to you, it does something to you. It makes you resilient. It makes you a little thick-skinned. But it also makes you a lot more isolated."

Anshula Kapoor credits her mother, Mona Kapoor, for being her biggest supporter

Further in the interview, Anshula credited her mother, Mona, for being her biggest support system. She shared how her mom helped her regain her confidence. She mentioned that if she didn’t have her mom, she couldn’t lead a normal life. She was quoted as saying:

"I always say that she was the wind beneath my wings. She was my literal spinal cord. I had no self-esteem. None of that. So, had I not had her, I would have only had a devil sitting on my shoulder, my own brain, always pulling me down. If I didn’t have her as the counter to that devil, giving me the positive reinforcement I needed for my own mental health and sanity, I don’t think I would have ever been able to lead a normal life, one where I wasn’t just an emotional wreck, breaking down constantly."
