“Every man's career has its own journey. And perhaps, I don't think he has reached his peak. Definitely, I am there, and I will be doing that. There are three subjects I have lined up for him. He is happy with those subjects, and he is on the threshold of a new kind of characterization.”

In a previous interview with the Film Companion, Arjun Kapoor spoke about his father’s decision to divorce his mother, Mona Shourie and thereafter tied the knot with Sridevi. He revealed that although he understands that his father fell in love with someone else, however, he was still not okay with it, as he had to face the repercussions of his father’s decision. He mentioned:
“It's about compatibility, there is friendship, there is saturation. There is unfortunate frustration, people go through different phases in life. You could have been in love with somebody, and you can fall in love with somebody after that, and that has to be understood. I don't agree... I can't say I'm okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it.”
Unfortunately, Boney Kapoor suffered an ill fate at love, since both his ex-wife, Mona Shourie as well as his beloved, Sridevi passed away in a tragic turn of events. Currently, the filmmaker is living a peaceful life with all his four children, Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi and Khushi. Speaking along the same lines, Arjun, in one of his earlier interactions with the Times Of India spoke about his father’s happiness on seeing all four of his kids gel well with one another.
