Anshula Kapoor honored her late mother, Mona Kapoor, at her engagement ceremony to Rohan Thakkar by embroidering the phrase Rab Rakha onto her bridal choli. The words represent a blessing Mona frequently used with her children before her death in March 2012 at age 48 from multiple organ failure after battling cancer. Anshula placed a framed photograph of her mother draped in a saree on a chair surrounded by flowers at the celebration.
Mona Kapoor was the first wife of filmmaker Boney Kapoor, and her passing occurred days before her son Arjun Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in Ishaqzaade. The siblings have discussed the difficulty of that period, and they have recalled their mother's strength following her separation from Boney Kapoor. Designer Arpita Mehta created the garment that allowed Anshula to carry her mother's blessing into her new life chapter.
