Indian Express2 days ago
Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira Kapur recently shared a post remembering her father Surinder Kapur on his 10th death anniversary. Surinder also died in June. Penning an emotional note, Mandhira also remembered her brother, who passed away last month and said, 'Our world will never be the same.'
Sharing a note for her father, Mandhira wrote, 'In the footsteps of a visionary, we find the strength to forge ahead and build a brighter future. His legacy lives on in every innovation, every achievement, and every dream we pursue. With gratitude, we honour a leader whose dedication and passion continues to inspire us all.'
Sharing the post, she captioned it: 'Missing dad today. Can't believe it's been 10 years. Bhaiya and him are together looking down on us. Miss them, our world will never be the same.'
Mandhira's post received the support of celebs like Mozes Singh and Bhavana Pandey. They dropped folded hands emojis in the post's comments section.

Just a week before, Mandhira had shared another emotional post remembering her brother. She shared several throwback photos on her Instagram handle and penned a long note. In the post, she shared that she was not in talking terms with her brother for the past four years.
'My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years, a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness, however, that will never take back what we were and what we had.'

However, she regretted that she couldn't fix things between her and Sunjay. She wrote, 'What happened towards the end has been both horrible and pointless, I will never have my moments with him again. We will never be us and it is devastating that we didn't fix what had become broken and so now my heart is the same. I am sure he knew despite our recent estrangement that I loved him and in my soul I am sure he shared the same hope as I, that one day we would be as amazing as we were for the first 47 years. Of this I am sure and take some small comfort.'

At the end of the post, she advised her readers to repair the void they have with their loved ones because one day they will be deprived of that opportunity.
Sunjay Kapur, previously married to Karsima Kapoor, died on June 12 during a polo match in England. His friend Suhel Seth told ANI, 'Sunjay died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England.' His company, Sona Comstar later listed that he died due to heart attack.
Sunjay Kapur was currently married to Priya Sachdev. He had four children from his second and third marriage. Before tying the knot with Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay was married to Nandita Mahtani for four years.

Double-Meaning Lyrics, Daring Outfit: Mamta Kulkarni 'Item Number' That Raised A Storm In 1995

Last Updated: Mamta Kulkarni's bold 90s song 'Gup Chup Gup Chup' from 'Karan Arjun' stirred protests, dodged bans, and still tops retro playlists, proof that controversy can dance too Who would've thought that a song from nearly three decades ago would still be ruffling feathers? We're talking about the iconic and controversial number Gup Chup Gup Chup from the 1995 Bollywood blockbuster Karan Arjun. While Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were busy reincarnating and fighting fate, it was Mamta Kulkarni, with her bold moves and bolder lyrics, who stole a fair share of the spotlight and the outrage. The Bollywood Song That Sparked A Storm Set to the raspy, powerful vocals of Ila Arun, the song Gup Chup Gup Chup turned heads not just for its infectious tune but for its eyebrow-raising lyrics. Phrases like Raat kiya ri tune kaisa ghotala (meaning: What wrong thing have you done in the night?) and Aadhe bistar pe woh soya tha, Aadhe pe main bhi so gayi (meaning: He was sleeping on one side of the bed, and I slept on the other side of the bed too) left some viewers stunned, others delighted, and conservative groups absolutely fuming. Back in 1995, critics accused the song of being 'indecent", 'suggestive", and 'a mockery of tradition". Many social groups protested. Women's organisations called for a ban arguing that it insulted Indian culture. TV channels got squeamish and shifted it out of primetime. All this while the audience? They hit repeat. Mamta Kulkarni's Look: Bold, Blingy, And Blamed Clad in an outfit that was daring even by 90s standards, Mamta Kulkarni delivered a performance that was instantly unforgettable and endlessly debated. Her 'item number' status was cemented, but so was the song's reputation as a lightning rod for controversy. The main grievance? That the ghunghat, a veil traditionally seen as a symbol of modesty and respect, was being used as a prop in what some saw as a sultry spectacle. And Yet, A Smashing Hit Ironically, the more people complained, the more people watched. Karan Arjun went on to become the second highest-grossing film of 1995, collecting Rs 25 crore in India and a staggering Rs 36.75 crore globally. And that 'obscene' song? It refused to die. Decades later, it still turns up at retro nights, DJ sets, and—admit it—your nostalgic 90s playlist. Say what you will about Gup Chup Gup Chup, it was bold, bizarre, and blazingly successful. In the ever-spinning world of Bollywood, where outrage often boosts popularity, this song is living proof that sometimes controversy is the best promotion. First Published:
