Arjun Kapoor’s Heartfelt Message

Sharing a series of candid pictures from the intimate family celebration, Arjun poured his heart out in a note that instantly resonated with fans. “I guess it’s time I start accepting that you’ll be leaving me and going your own way soon… it’s gonna break me a little, but I also know you’re going to be with someone who can make you smile… even if not quite

In the emotional note, the Animal actor also remembered his late mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor, whose absence was deeply felt during the occasion. “I miss Mom even more now… but I know she’s watching over you, helping you find Rohan, and guiding you with her divine touch. Trust in her watchful eye and be happy,” Arjun shared, evoking heartfelt reactions from fans.

He concluded with a warm welcome for his soon-to-be brother-in-law: “From being my partner in crime to finding your forever partner, my Ansh is all grown up. All my love and warmest wishes to you both as you begin this new chapter. Welcome to the family, @rohanthakkar1511 — you’re in for a ride.”

The post quickly drew love from across the industry. Ayesha Shroff wrote, “Congratulations kiddos,” while Pooja Hegde added, “Congratulations, loads of love and light to them.” Filmmaker Tahira Kashyap too dropped a sweet note, calling it “so beautiful.”

Inside Anshula And Rohan’s Engagement

Earlier, Anshula had officially announced her engagement by sharing dreamy photos from their Gor Dhana ceremony — a traditional Gujarati pre-wedding ritual similar to an engagement. The event, held on October 2, 2025, was attended by the entire Kapoor clan, including Boney Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, and Maheep Kapoor, among others.

In her caption, Anshula wrote, “This wasn’t just our Gor Dhana, it was love showing up in every little detail. Ro’s favourite words have always been ‘always and forever’—and today, they started to feel real in the sweetest way.”

She also invoked her mother’s memory, writing, “Ma’s love quietly wrapped itself around us—in her flowers, in her words, in her seat, in the way her presence could still be felt everywhere. All I remember is looking around and thinking: this is what forever should feel like. Rab raakha (May God protect you).”

A Love Story That Began In New York

Anshula and Rohan’s love story has been quietly unfolding over the past couple of years. She made their relationship Instagram official in 2023, often sharing glimpses of their travels and special moments. Earlier this year, she revealed that Rohan proposed to her at New York’s Central Park — a setting straight out of a romantic movie.

As Arjun beautifully put it, his “partner in crime” has now found her “forever partner.” And while the moment may be bittersweet, it’s also one wrapped in immense love, pride, and the memory of the mother who continues to guide them both.
