Before stepping into the modelling profession, Maheep Sandhu Kapoor studied fashion designing and jewellery designing in Australia. However, only after having a failed showbiz career, Maheep decided to start her own business.

Apart from being a successful jewellery designer, Maheep Kapoor also runs a boutique. It's a luxury retail boutique called Bandra 190, which is run by Maheep Kapoor in collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan's wife Gauri Khan and Sohail Khan's wife Seema Sachdev.

After a courtship lasting for a couple of years, Maheep Kapoor got married to Sanjay Kapoor in 1998. They have two children, Shanaya and Jahaan. While Shanaya is already one of the popular star kids of Bollywood, Jahaan is still kept away from the paparazzi's attention.

Sanjay Kapoor posted this picture on their wedding anniversary - December 9 in 2019 and captioned: 21 years of togetherness

A throwback picture that features Maheep with daughter Shanaya Kapoor, Sohail Khan's wife Seema Khan, Gauri Khan and Suhana. Shanaya, Suhana and Ananya Panday are close friends. Isn't this an adorable throwback image? Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor look super cute sitting on their mothers' laps.

Another throwback picture from Maheep-Sanjay's wedding album and this photo is hilarious for the obvious reason – it has Arjun Kapoor. The actor is known to be one of the biggest pranksters in Bollywood, who, with his acts make people laugh and "acutely annoy" them. The photo shared by Sanjay Kapoor has a bored and sleepy Arjun Kapoor standing behind his uncle, with the expression, 'When will the wedding get over, I'm tired, I need to sleep.' Sanjay Kapoor posted the photo with the caption, "That's my expression when Arjun gets married #bored #getitoverwithchachu (sic)."

Maheep Kapoor shared this candid click and captioned: About to give birth to my first-born #MyBiggestBlessings #BeingAMom Happy Mothers Day Everyone

They are a 'made for each other' couple and this picture is proof enough. The picture was clicked during one of their vacations to South Africa.

Picture perfect! Time flies so quickly. The little munchkins in the frame have grown-up now. While Shanaya is working as an assistant director in her cousin Janhvi Kapoor's film Gunjan Saxena biopic, her sibling Jahaan will complete his schooling this year.

"Always close to my heart!" - wrote Maheep along with this sweet throwback picture of hers with daughter Shanaya!

An adorable picture of Maheep and Sanjay Kapoor!
