Film producer Boney Kapoor's daughter and actor Ajun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor turned 27 today. The star kid celebrated her birthday in a mellowed-down affair, that was attended by Boney, Arjun, half-sisters Janhvi and Khushi, among others. Unlike other siblings, Anshula did not venture into films but crafted her own path. Here, we look at some lesser-known things about Anshula.
Anshula's parents got divorced when she was 4
Born on this day in 1992, Anshula is Boney's daughter with his first wife Mona Shourie. Her brother Arjun is seven years elder to her.

Anshula's mother passed away in 2012, after fighting cancer.

Upon her return, Anshula scored a job with tech giant Google, where she worked as a representative for AdWords. Speaking about the dream job, she had said, "I truly lucked out of that." Thereafter, she joined Hrithik Roshan's fashion brand HRX, where she worked as an Operations manager.

Like any other sibling relationship: Anshula on bond with stepsisters
Anshula shares an impeccable bond with her stepsisters Janhvi and Khushi. "It's like any other sibling relationship. We go for movies, dinners and hang (out) at each other's houses," she had once said. However, despite belonging to a family of movie actors, she prefers to stay away from the camera. "I'm usually the one hiding my face when out with family," she had quipped.
Acting was never my calling: Anshula
"Acting never came to me as a calling. When I did acting in school, it was mostly for me to come out of my shell. I had stage fright. My mom encouraged me to the theatre. It was a nice subject," Anshula recently told IANS.
