Anil Kapoor and his wife, Sunita Kapoor, are the definition of true love. After “11 years of courtship” and 39 years of marriage, the couple are celebrating their 50th anniversary today. The couple have shared some throwbacks, as well as unseen pictures on social media. Anil Kapoor spoke about their love story that began 50 years ago. Along with the pictures, the actor read, “Happy 50 years of love to us, Sunita! Here's to being the leads in the most epic romance we could have ever imagined... A love story that began 50 years ago and will live on forever! I will never understand how you managed to remain sane through 39 years of marriage and 11 years of dating me! They should write ballads about your patience and devotion.”
“And yet, half a decade later, one thing hasn't changed...You still take my breath away every time you walk into a room! Happy anniversary to my one and only, now and forever!” added the actor with a red heart icon.
Anil Kapoor's wish got a heartwarming response from his wife Sunita Kapoor. “Love you to eternity and beyond,” commented Sunita Kapoor.
Sunita Kapoor, too, made her family and friends go aww with her anniversary post for the actor. “39 years of being married to you, Anil Kapoor, 11 years of courtship,” she wrote, and added, “How time flies! Happy anniversary husband! Thank you for making my life easier, better, happier. Here's to us, to our love, adventures, our hearts and our forever… Love you, forever.”
