Overview
- Anil Kapoor shared a carousel-style Instagram video on June 9, 2026, featuring throwback photos and clips and a caption calling Sonam “precious, beautiful and deeply loved.”
- The caption included the line “Your smile lights up every room (and my whole heart),” and ended with a personal sign-off, “Love you so much beta.”
- Sonam replied on the post with “Love you daddy,” and several Bollywood peers including Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ayesha Shroff left birthday messages.
- The montage showed moments from Sonam’s life — childhood, her 2018 wedding to Anand Ahuja, her pregnancy and early scenes with her sons — framing the post as a family celebration.
- Coverage notes Sonam’s recent personal timeline and career pause, reporting she became a mother again in 2026 and was last seen on screen in the 2023 film Blind, which explains why the message centred on family rather than new projects.
