Arjun Kapoor wrote an emotional message that read:

It’s been 9 years, it’s not fair ya I miss u Maa come back na please… I miss u worrying about me, fusing over me, I miss seeing ur name-calling on my phone, I miss coming home & seeing u… I miss ur laugh, I miss ur smell, I miss being called Arjun with ur voice echoing in my ear. I really miss you, Mom. I hope ur ok wherever u are, I’m trying to be ok too, on most days I manage but I miss u… come back na…

Meanwhile, sister Anshula Kapoor shared her feelings: 9 years ago today I held your hand for the last time. I have conversations with you in my heart almost every day, but I would give up anything to have just 1 more conversation with you in person, where I can actually hear your voice. 9 years without you is already a lifetime. I miss your voice, your hugs, your laughter, your advice, your smile, your ability to take away my dark clouds, your smell, your love.. I miss how safe you made me feel, how brave you made me feel, how loved you made me feel. I miss you Ma.  #AlwaysAndForever
