‘Parinda’ turns 35: Anil Kapoor reflects on its timeless legacy
'Parinda' is a 1989 crime drama that tells the story of two brothers, Kishen and Karan, navigating love and the criminal underworld in Mumbai.
With just three days left for an unusual love story to unfold on the silver screen, the makers of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga have come up with an interesting way to promote Shelly Chopra Dhar’s film. Ahead of the release, they have come up with “#EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga challenge”, asking Bollywood celebrities to share their love stories on social media using the tag and letting people know how it felt when they first met their love.
Anil Kapoor, who plays lead actress Sonam Kapoor’s father in the film, started off the challenge by posting a photograph with his wife Sunita Kapoor. He opened up on the love of his life and said, “#EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga jaise strong, loving, boss lady… #SunitaKapoor my lifeline, my heart, my home!” He further nominated Rajkummar Rao, Arjun Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, and Varun Dhawan.
