Soon after, we met at a party–there was just something about her. We started talking & became friends. We used to discuss this other girl I liked-you know, if I like her or she likes me? Then suddenly that girl vanished, leaving me heartbroken–our friendship strengthened because of that! Little did I know that Sunita was the one all along–we started dating organically. It’s not like in the movies–I didn’t ask her to be my girlfriend–we both just knew. She was from a liberal family–a banker’s daughter with a modelling career & I was bekaar! She didn’t care who I was or what my profession is- none of it mattered! I lived in Chembur & she lived on Nepeansea road–it took me an hour to reach by bus. She would start screaming, ‘No come fast by cab!’ & I’d say ‘Arrey I don’t have money’ then she’d say ‘Just come na’ & pay for my cab! We dated for 10 years–we travelled and grew together. She was always clear that she won’t enter the kitchen. If I said ‘cook’ I’d get a kick! I knew I needed to become something before asking her to marry me. I went through the struggle of not getting work, but she supported me unconditionally. So when I got my first break, ‘Meri Jung’ I thought, now house will come, kitchen will come, help will come..I can get married! So I called Sunita & said, ‘Let’s get married tomorrow–it’s tomorrow or never’ & the next day, we were married! I went for shoot 3 days later & madam went abroad on our honeymoon..without me! Honestly, she knows me better than I know me. We’ve built our life; our home together. We’ve raised 3 kids & been through ups and downs. But I feel like we’re finally dating now–romantic walks & dinners have just begun! We’ve been together 45 years–45 years of friendship, love & companionship. They don’t make people like her anymore. She’s the perfect mother, perfect wife & the reason I wake up every morning, motivated. You know why? When I ask her, ‘Arrey, yesterday only gave you so much money’ she says, ‘Woh sab khatam ho gaya..it’s all finished!’ and I jump out of bed & run to work"

Anil Kapoor further revealed that they bonded over his broken heart and he later started dating Sunita, who was a banker's daughter with a happening modelling career. “We started talking and became friends. We used to discuss this other girl I liked – you know if I like her or she likes me? And then suddenly, that girl vanished, leaving me heartbroken. So my friendship with Sunita became stronger because of a broken heart. Little did I know that Sunita was the one all along–we started dating organically.

Sunita's Only Condition Before Marriage

As it is said that 'pyaar hai toh sharte bhi hongi' and the same thing happened with Anil Kapoor too. The actor was aware that Sunita can't cook and she had made it clear from the beginning that she won't enter the kitchen and cook. So, Anil had an idea that he would have to be successful before he asks her to marry him. " I knew I needed to become something before asking her to marry me."

When He Asked Her Out For Marriage

This happened when he got his first breakthrough with the movie Meri Jung, which was a huge hit. With this, he knew he would be able to fulfill his wish and asked her to marry him the very next day! "So when I got my first break, ‘Meri Jung’ I thought, now house will come, the kitchen will come, help will come..I can get married! So I called Sunita & said, ‘Let’s get married tomorrow–it’s tomorrow or never’ & the next day, we were married!"

Sunita's Solo Honeymoon

After they got married, Anil Kapoor had to resume shooting and Sunita went all alone on honeymoon. " I went for shoot 3 days later & madam went abroad on our honeymoon..without me, " said the actor.

Lifetime Of Happiness

Sunita has always motivated and pushed Anil Kapoor to work hard. During the interaction, the actor revealed, “They don’t make people like her anymore. She’s the perfect mother, perfect wife...and the reason I wake up every morning, motivated. You know why? When I ask her, ‘Arrey, yesterday only I gave you so much money’ she says, ‘Woh sab khatam ho gaya...it’s all finished!’ and I jump out of bed and run to work!”
