Anshula Kapoor Gets Engaged to Rohan Thakkar: A Night of Love, Family, and Memories
Love, laughter, and a flood of emotions — that’s how the Kapoor family celebrated as Anshula Kapoor, daughter of veteran producer Boney Kapoor and sister of Arjun Kapoor, got engaged to her longtime partner Rohan Thakkar.
The intimate engagement ceremony, known as Gor Dhana in Gujarati tradition, took place at the Kapoor residence in Mumbai on October 2, 2025, turning the home into a space glowing with lights, blessings, and nostalgia.
From Central Park to Kapoor House: A Proposal to Remember
Earlier this year, Rohan Thakkar proposed to Anshula in the most cinematic way possible — amid the serenity of Central Park, New York. The couple had been together for over two years and went public with their relationship in 2023. What began as a casual connection soon blossomed into a love anchored in respect, laughter, and shared dreams.
Speaking about her engagement, Anshula revealed that her father, Boney Kapoor, wanted the ceremony to take place at home — the same space that held years of memories with her late mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor. “It wasn’t just a ritual,” she wrote in her heartfelt post, “it was love appearing in every tiny detail.”
A Family Celebration Overflowing With Emotion
The ceremony turned into a full-fledged Kapoor family gathering, attended by Arjun, Janhvi, Khushi, Sonam, Rhea, and Shanaya Kapoor, along with other close relatives and friends.
One of the most touching moments came when Anshula was seen sitting beside a chair adorned with flowers, gently holding it — the chair symbolizing her mother’s presence. On it rested a framed picture of Mona Kapoor, a reminder that though she was no longer there physically, her warmth still filled the room.
Arjun Kapoor, known for his protective bond with his sister, stood as her pillar throughout the evening. In one photo, he lovingly placed a tilak on Rohan’s forehead — an elder brother’s blessing to the man joining their family. In another, he embraced a teary-eyed Anshula, as she tried to hold back her emotions.
Tradition Meets Tenderness
The Gor Dhana ceremony — similar to a North Indian roka — involved the exchange of jaggery and coriander seeds, symbolic of sweetness and abundance in Gujarati customs.
What made the evening even more special was Maheep Kapoor’s gesture. In Mona Kapoor’s absence, Maheep performed the traditional rituals for Anshula — a moment that melted hearts across social media. Fans praised her for “doing mom duties” with grace and affection, proving once again that family is not only about blood, but about love that chooses to stay.
The Bride Who Glowed in Purple
Anshula looked radiant in a custom Arpita Mehta purple bandhani lehenga, intricately embroidered with mirror work and pastel zardozi detailing — a perfect mix of elegance and tradition. Rohan matched her in an understated ivory kurta designed by Kunal Rawal, creating a beautifully coordinated duo.
Her sisters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, played the perfect bridesmaids — helping with her outfit, touch-ups, and keeping her calm amid the emotions of the day. “Their love is quiet, but it’s loud in my heart,” Anshula wrote, thanking them for being her strength.
A Daughter’s Tribute to Her Mother
Perhaps the most moving part of the evening wasn’t just the rituals — it was the silent conversation between Anshula and her late mother’s memory.
“Ma’s love wrapped itself around us — in her flowers, in her words, in her seat, in the way her presence could still be felt everywhere,” Anshula wrote in her Instagram post. “All I remember is looking around and thinking — this is what forever should feel like.”
Her words resonated deeply with fans, who praised her grace and the emotional depth with which she carried her mother’s spirit forward.
Boney Kapoor’s Bittersweet Joy
For Boney Kapoor, it was a moment that brought tears and smiles in equal measure. As a proud father, he blessed his daughter and her fiancé with all his heart. But like any parent watching a child step into a new chapter, there was an unmistakable tinge of bittersweet emotion.
Sources close to the family mentioned that Boney shared an emotional speech during the evening, reminiscing about Mona and expressing gratitude for the love and warmth surrounding Anshula that night.
Arjun’s Emotional Note: “I Miss Mom Even More Now”
Soon after the ceremony, Arjun Kapoor shared a heart-touching post dedicated to his sister, saying,
“I miss Mom even more now, but I know she’s watching over you. She’d be so proud of how strong and kind you’ve become.”
His words struck a chord with followers, many of whom applauded the sibling bond that has only grown stronger through the years.
The Essence of the Evening: Love, Laughter, and Legacy
The engagement wasn’t just about two people coming together — it was about family, resilience, and carrying forward the love of those who are no longer around. Every photograph, every gesture, seemed to echo the same message: love doesn’t end, it evolves.
