Arjun and Anshula Kapoor remember their mother on her death anniversary

On Thursday, Arjun Kapoor invoked loving memories of his late mother, Mona Shourie on her death anniversary in an Instagram post. Nine years ago, Arjun’s mother passed away tragically in 2012 due to difficulties with her medical condition just months away from Arjun’s Bollywood debut with Ishaqzaade. In a sweet and heartfelt message, Arjun wrotein a warm and touching message, “It’s been 9 years, it’s not fair ya I miss u Maa come back na please... I miss u worrying about me, fusing over me, I miss seeing ur name calling on my phone, I miss coming home & seeing u... I miss ur laugh, I miss ur smell, I miss being called Arjunwith ur voice echoing in my ear,” he added,“I really miss you Mom. I hope ur ok wherever u are, I’m trying to be ok too, on most days I manage but I miss u... come back na..."

The message reflected his deep-seated love for her, his sorrow on not having her by her side moving many to tears. Many of Arjun’s Bollywood friends and colleagues conveyed their love and support to the 35-year-old actor with red hearts, while his good friend and ‘Bhoot Police’ co-star Jacqueline Fernandez commented, “Stay strong arj.”

Arjun’s younger sister also took to her social media handle to mark the day with an emotional post, "9 years ago today I held your hand for the last time. I have conversations with you in my heart almost every day, but I would give up anything to have just 1 more conversation with you in person, where I can actually hear your voice. 9 years without you is already a lifetime. I miss your voice, your hugs, your laughter, your advice, your smile, your ability to take away my dark clouds, your smell, your love... I miss how safe you made me feel, how brave you made me feel, how loved you made me feel. I miss you Ma."
