Veteran actors Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary today and on this occasion  their love story was revisited.  

Being the rare Bollywood couple in town their love began with a prank call which gradually blossomed. 

Anil’s 2019 interview with Hindustan Times  resurfaced where he gave all the details about his love, “when I first spoke to her, I fell in love with her voice. I thought ‘Oh God, what a beautiful voice yaar, kya English bolti hai, pronunciation is so well’. I met her for the first time at Raj Kapoor’s house. She was so attractive, and if I may say, sexy also… she wore these gogo glasses, which are big, round, and rimmed."

“We soon then met at a party and became friends. I used to discuss this other girl I liked with Sunita.”

"We dated for 10 years before getting married. Sunita always maintained she would never cook."

In 2018, he further told Humans of Bombay, “ Unlike movies I did not ask her to be my girlfriend. We just knew.”

As time passed their bond grew organically and they began dating.

A day after signing his hit movie Meri Jung, the Jugjugg Jeeyo actor proposed her for marriage. 

"so when I got my first break, Meri Jung I thought, now house will come, the kitchen will come, help will come... I can get married! So I called Sunita and said, ‘Let’s get married tomorrow – it’s tomorrow or never’ and the next day, we were married! I went for a shoot three days later and madam went abroad on our honeymoon without me!” 

Anil and Sunita are now parents to 3 superstar children Rhea Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and a son, Harshvardhan Kapoor.
