Talking about the motovation, he said, "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."
In the same note, he also quipped about how Sunita understands the unsaid by him and went on their honeymoon without him. "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," said Race 3 actor.
The 61-year-old actor, who gives a run to the youngsters in terms of fitness, also gave a narrative of how the love story of a "bekaar" boy from Chembur started with a banker's daughter from Nepean Sea Road. "A friend of mine gave Sunita my number to prank call me–that's when I first spoke to her & fell in love with her voice! 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," concluded Anil Kapoor.
