Anshula looks back

In a recent interview with Hautterfly, Anshula opened up about the challenges of being a daughter of a separated couple.

“Growing up in the 90s, no one really knew what to say when my parents got separated. People started talking about family values, my upbringing etc… I resigned into my own shell, and was trying to figure out what this new normal was all about,” she said.

Looking back at growing up in a household full of stars, Anshula said, “Of course, dad was working, mom was working, Sanjay chachu (Sanjay Kapoor) was working. Eventually, when we moved to our own space, mom had to become a one-person army… She was the caretaker, the lovegiver, the problem solver, and the breadwinner. She was both parents in one, and it was like she had ten hands to take care of us.”
