“Don’t take them for granted”: Arjun Kapoor shares emotional video on Mother’s Day
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 12 (ANI): For everyone, Mother’s Day is not the same, for some it’s tough. Actor Arjun Kapoor shared an emotional video in remembrance of his mother Mona Shourie Kapoor and also urged people not to take their parents for granted.
Remembering his mother’s presence, Arjun dropped a video and extended wishes to every mother out there.
In the video, Arjun said, “Hi, guys. It’s Mother’s Day. I don’t know why I am posting this video. Just woke up and while I was showering, I felt the need to just say something to everybody out there who got their moms by their side, who’s got moms in their lives even though they’re not around them just make sure you send them love, give them love, remind them how much they mean to you, how much they define you. Hum inn cheezo ko for granted lete hai (we take these things for granted). My sister is not here, she is travelling, she’s away on holiday and I guess I was sitting alone at home, so I felt the need to put this message out to the world. Don’t take them for granted. Our parents, Mothers, humara bahut khayal rakhte hai (our parents take care of us). We should give them our love, respect and care for them as much as we can.”
He added, “So, here’s wishing every mother Happy Mother’s Day, every parent who is having to be there, perhaps sometimes to be a mother, every brother or sister who is having to be a mother – happy Mother’s Day. It’s tough. Days like this are tough. They deserve to be there, but they can be tough sometimes. For anybody who is going through what I’m going through, lots of love and for anybody else who’s taking things for granted, don’t. Maa ko pyaar do. Maa ne apke liye bahut kasht uthaye.”
Arjun lost his mother 12 years ago on March 25. The actor was about to make his Bollywood debut the same year. However, a tragic medical condition took Mona away from her kids in 2012.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Arjun is currently busy shooting for Rohit Shetty’s directorial ‘Singham Again’. He will be seen essaying the role of an antagonist.
Helmed by Rohit Shetty ‘Singham Again’ also stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. ‘Singham Again’ is the third installment of the super-hit franchise. ‘Singham’ was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in lead roles, followed by ‘Singham Returns’ in 2014. Both projects were declared box office hits.
‘Singham Again’ is scheduled to have a theatrical release in August 2024, coinciding with Independence Day.
