Nirmal Kapoor, the mother of producer Boney Kapoor and actors Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, passed away on May 2 at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. In the wake of her death, numerous Bollywood celebrities were seen arriving at Boney Kapoor’s residence in Mumbai to offer their condolences and pay their respects.
Among those who attended was Ananya Panday, who was visibly emotional. In a video shared by Filmygyan, Ananya was seen breaking down in tears as she arrived to mourn the loss of Shanaya Kapoor’s grandmother. Dressed in a white ethnic suit, she was seen wiping away her tears and making her way inside the house without interacting with the paparazzi. Ananya shares a close bond with Shanaya (Sanjay Kapoor’s daughter) and Janhvi Kapoor (Boney Kapoor’s daughter), making this loss particularly personal.
