If you ask anyone in the world, who their biggest inspiration is, chances are high that they will name their 'mothers' first. After all, a mother is the only person, who plays a huge part in the overall development of a human being. They are the ones, who brought us into this world, carried us in their womb and taught us every little thing about life. While there are days when we take them for granted, there are also days when we can't live without them. And no one can understand the importance of a mother, better than Bollywood actor, Arjun Kapoor.

Arjun Kapoor is the first child of the filmmaker, Boney Kapoor and his first wife, Mona Shourie Kapoor. However, Arjun didn't have a perfect childhood. He had learnt life's hardest lesson when his father, Boney Kapoor had left his work to marry Sridevi. But Arjun's entire world had gotten over when his mother had left for the heavenly abode after giving a tough fight to cancer. For those who don't know, Arjun's mother, Mona ji had passed away just 45 days before his grand debut in Bollywood with Ishqzaade (2012).
No amount of words or love can ever replace the void, which was left in Arjun's heart after his mother's demise. On February 3, 2021, Arjun took to his Instagram handle and shared a video for his late mother, Mona Kapoor, on the occasion of her birth anniversary. In the video, Arjun can be heard saying, "It is my mom's birthday today. She would have been very happy celebrating it with me and making sure that we are all together, but it is what it is. But I just want to tell you guys, spend time with your family, spend time with your parents, spend time with your loved ones because I keep this, we don't realise what life has in store. I love her a lot and I know she is around but there are days when I miss her and I can't even tell her that and in my own way. But it is a happy day I just want to share this 'tell the people that you love, that you love them." He captioned the video as "I love you today yesterday & forever, Happy birthday Mom."

Arjun's mother's sudden demise still haunts him. We remember in an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor had bared his heart out and had said that it still hurts him every day. He misses his mom every day. After all, just when he was going to stand up on his own two feet, his mother had left him. Arjun had further added, "All the success and the failure, the love and hatred in these 8 years is all handle-able but what's not handle-able is the fact that I don't have her around me. Aap mujhe jitni nafraat doge chalega because I have seen the lowest lows in my life already. I lost my mother 45 days before I was about to embark on the toughest journey of my life where the world was going to see me. Everything else seems small in comparison."

Earlier, in a media interaction, Arjun had talked about the void that his mother's death had left in his heart. He had said, "How do I reconcile with the fact that she’s not here to see that I have created an independent identity for myself, that I run a house, that I’ve grown up to become everything she wanted me to become? For all the sacrifices she has made for me, there is something as payback which sits here right now as I speak to you. I would have liked her to see that. I wish I was in a position where I could tell her that I have managed to make you proud, Ma. There’s no respite from the death of a mother. I always tell people that you are allowed to take your parents for granted to a certain degree but don’t underestimate the power of having them around. They are your backbone. You think it’s there but imagine one day it cracks — you are bound to fall. I have lived my life without a backbone for the last 5 years."
