There are countless times when our fathers make sure to bring a smile on our face, after a dull day. When they had encouraged us to be fearless and independent but still never made us feel that we can’t go to him with our problems no matter how old we get. As children, we must also try to make an effort every now and then to make our old man smile. And birthday is one such special day when we can make it extra-special for him, be it by expressing our feelings to him, planning a surprise or maybe both! That’s exactly how Boney Kapoor and late Sridevi Kapoor’s daughter, Janhvi Kapoor planned for her father on his birthday.

On November 11, 2019, Boney Kapoor turned 64 and his daughter, Janhvi Kapoor posted some unseen priceless gems of her dad with a heartfelt message. Expressing how her ‘best dad’ has now become her ‘best friend’, Janhvi wrote, “Happy Birthday Papa. You always ask me where I get my energy from papa and I get it from you. Seeing you wake up and doing what you love with more passion every single day, seeing you fall but get up even stronger, seeing you broken but giving us and everyone else strength when they need it. You’re the best man I’ll ever know. You inspire me, encourage me, you’ve always been the best dad but now you’re my best friend. I love you. I’m going to make you so proud. You deserve all the happiness in the world and I hope and pray this year is full of just that in abundance for you.”

Sometime back, Anshula Kapoor had given a glimpse of their ‘Dad’s Kids’ family group chat which had a screenshot of their whereabouts updates. Boney Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor had informed about their whereabouts on the chat and Anshula had written, "OMG What is this day of only flights. Hahaha #DADSKIDS" atop the screenshot.
Boney Kapoor had married Mona Shourie in 1983 and had embraced parenthood with Arjun Kapoor (1985) and Anshula Kapoor (1992). Later, in 1996, he had tied the knot with Sridevi and left his first wife and their kids. Boney and Sridevi became proud parents of Janhvi Kapoor (1997) and Khushi Kapoor (2000). Arjun and Anshula didn’t share a warm camaraderie with their half-siblings, Janhvi and Khushi, until 2018, when Sridevi left for the heavenly abode. During the tragic and tough phase in Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi and Khushi’s lives, Arjun and Anshula stood as pillars of strength for them and the entire Kapoor family.
In an interview with SpotboyE, Boney Kapoor had expressed how grateful he is that his children, Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor had stuck together during the tragic period. He had said, “Arjun... flew in to Dubai to be with me. Anshula was in Mumbai with Janhvi and Khushi. They love each other a lot and I am glad that they have come together. It was due to happen anytime, it just happened when something unfortunate happened. They are all my blood and they had to come around." The proud father had continued, “I am fortunate that people have to say such good things about all my four children- they say that they have been very well brought up.” (Also Read: Alia Bhatt Goes On A Date Night With Boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor, His Mother, Neetu Kapoor And Family)
