Mumbai, Dec 23 (IANS) On Surinder Kapoor’s 99th birth anniversary on Monday, Bollywood star Anil Kapoor remembered his late producer-father and said that his simplicity, honesty, and joy not only defined him but gave his life meaning.

He wrote: “Celebrating my dad’s 99th birthday today. His simplicity, honesty, and joy not only defined him, but gave all our lives meaning.”
“His presence was so magnetic and though I miss him deeply, his memories and lessons guide me every day, filling my life with strength and warmth. Here’s to the legacy of a remarkable man who will always be my greatest inspiration…”
Surinder Kapoor, father of Anil, Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, died after suffering a cardiac arrest in September 2011 aged 85.
