Openly discussing midlife experiences with her close friend has been an empowering and liberating journey.
"Turning 50 was a significant turning point in my life. And embracing my wisdom age along with equal amounts of sass and childlike enthusiasm has made all the difference. Speaking openly about all things Primetime along with one of my oldest besties @sujstyle has been revolutionary as well," she said.

Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira, who had not spoken with her brother for 4 years due to 'egos', regrets not fixing their relationship before his death
Sunjay Kapur, a businessman, died in an accident. His sister, Mandhira Kapur, shared a heartfelt note. She expressed regret over their estrangement. Mandhira urged people to reconcile with loved ones. Sunjay's funeral took place in Delhi. Karisma Kapoor and family attended. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Sunjay Kapur with his sister Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Mandhira Kapur's reflections after brother Sunjay's death Sunjay Kapur with his sisters 'Each day is a gift' Sunjay Kapur with his sister Sunjay Kapur's death Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The death of businessman Sunjay Kapur , former husband of actress Karisma Kapoor , sent shockwaves through both the business and film worlds. But amidst the flood of public mourning, one voice stood out — that of his sister, Mandhira Kapur , who shared an emotional and deeply personal note that resonated with Kapur died on June 12, 2025, following a tragic accident during a polo match in England. A bee sting in his windpipe reportedly triggered a fatal cardiac arrest, cutting short the life of the 53-year-old chairman of Sona Comstar . The incident stunned not only his family but also his wide network of colleagues and the spotlight moved briefly from the businessman's career to the raw grief of a sister who wished she had one more moment, one more conversation, with her brother. After her brother's death, Mandhira Kapur took to Instagram and shared a series of heartwarming childhood pictures — snapshots of simpler times, filled with love, laughter, and sibling the photos weren't the centerpiece. It was the long note she wrote — an unfiltered outpouring of emotion that laid bare a relationship that had frayed over time, and the irreversible pain of not mending it in opened up about the sad reality that she and Sunjay had not spoken for four years due to a sibling squabble that escalated beyond repair. She described how small disagreements and ego clashes turned into a chasm that neither side could bridge. Her post wasn't just about mourning his loss — it was about confronting regret, loss, and the painful finality that death brings to unresolved her reflection, Mandhira didn't shy away from acknowledging the distance that had grown between them. Yet, she made it clear that the love, the memories, and the bond they shared since childhood were untouched by the fallout. Her words recalled a privileged and joyful upbringing with their sister Superna, under the care of two doting parents. She reminisced about the silly jokes, the late-night sneak-outs, and the deep bond that only siblings can understand — the kind that makes others feel like outsiders to their private world of shared history and inside the nostalgia, there was also a painful awareness that the recent years of silence had robbed them of precious time. What hurt the most, Mandhira admitted, was knowing that there would be no chance now to heal the wounds, no opportunity to return to what they once had. Her heart, she said, now bore the same brokenness that had crept into their relationship — only this time, it was the estrangement, Mandhira expressed hope that Sunjay had always known she loved him, and she believed he too harbored the same hope — that they would one day reconcile, laugh again, and be the siblings they once were. That hope, however, never got its the same post, she extended a heartfelt message to everyone reading — urging people to reach out to their loved ones before it's too late. Her story, though deeply personal, carried a universal message: life is fragile, and relationships are more delicate than we think. Holding on to grudges, giving in to pride, or waiting for 'the right time' can often leave us with only regret when the chance to make things right disappears forever, she post quickly resonated with people across the internet — not just because of who she was or who Sunjay was, but because her pain reflected a deeply human experience. Her courage to speak vulnerably about regret struck a chord with those who had loved and lost — especially those with unresolved last rites were held last week at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in New Delhi. The ceremony was attended by his ex-wife Karisma Kapoor and their children, Samaira and Kiaan, as well as his current wife Priya Sachdev. Karisma's sister, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan, were also present to offer their sudden death left a vacuum, not just within his family, but also within the automotive industry, where he had taken over his father Dr. Surinder Kapur's business legacy in 2015. Under his leadership, Sona Comstar rose to global prominence. Known for his passion for polo, he balanced his corporate life with sport and was known to be close to international circles, including British the prayer meet, Mandhira shared a selfie that stood in stark contrast to the grief around her — a rare photo capturing joy, togetherness, and light. It showed her, Sunjay, and Superna smiling.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 3: Aamir Khan's Film Collects Rs 57 Crore On 1st Weekend
Last Updated: RS Prasanna's Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par had a successful first weekend, surpassing Rs 55 crore net in India. Aamir Khan is back, and how! His latest film Sitaare Zameen Par is shining bright at the box office. After just three days in theatres, the heartwarming sports comedy has raked in a solid Rs 57 crore net in India, according to Sacnilk. Directed by RS Prasanna and also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film had a strong weekend run. Sitaare Zameen Par has been receiving a good response from the audience and critics alike for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling. As per trade reports, Sitaare Zameen Par earned Rs 26.45 crore on Sunday, pushing its total to Rs 57.35 crore net in India. The film, which had an average start at Rs 10.7 crore on Friday, saw an impressive jump of nearly 89 per cent on Saturday with Rs 20.2 crore coming in. Sunday continued the momentum, with the Hindi version recording a 41.76 per cent occupancy and numbers rising steadily through the day. For context, Sitaare Zameen Par is inching closer to surpassing the lifetime India collection of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha, which had wrapped up at Rs 61.36 crore. The film has already outperformed Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 29.5 crore) and Sunny Deol's Jaat (Rs 26.25 crore) in just its first weekend. However, it still trails behind the likes of Salman Khan's Sikandar, which raked in Rs 74.5 crore in its opening weekend, and Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which clocked Rs 62.25 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par is considered a spiritual successor to Aamir Khan's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The original film followed the moving story of Ishaan, a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary, and touched hearts across the nation with its sensitive portrayal of learning disabilities. It also featured Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma. On the other hand, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut with the film. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast with seasoned performers like Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal. The story centres on Gulshan, a former star basketball coach portrayed by Aamir Khan, who is ordered to coach a group of neurodivergent children as part of his community service following a DUI offence. What starts off as a begrudging assignment soon evolves into a life-changing experience for both him and the team. Genelia Deshmukh plays Sunita, Gulshan's supportive wife. N ews18 gave 3.5 rating to Sitaare Zameen Par. A part of our review read, 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par's Nikumbh, Gulshan isn't perfect. This is a flawed, man-child character, dealing with his own traumas, learning to navigate life with the help of those who suffer developmental delays. So far, on paper, Sitaare Zameen Par seems rather fantastic, novel, and heartfelt. And don't get us wrong — it definitely is all of that. But it also has its share of flaws that become a bump in its path to becoming a great film. To start with, at 2 hours 39 minutes, the film appears to be an extremely long and slow-moving affair."
