The Kapoor family has always been known for its love of food and the joy of feeding others. A similar sentiment came alive on India Ke Top 1% – The Anil Kapoor Show when contestant Nishant revealed what he would do if he won ₹1 crore.
Nishant shared that he would first repay his home loan and then open a restaurant. He added, “Mujhe khana banana nahi aata, lekin mujhe logon ko khilana bahut pasand hai.”
His words instantly reminded Anil Kapoor of Krishna Kapoor, Mrs. Raj Kapoor, whom he regarded as a mother figure. Recalling her warmth and hospitality, Anil shared how she would lovingly look after everyone seated at the dining table, constantly checking whether they had eaten enough and encouraging them to try different dishes.
Remembering her warmth, Anil Kapoor shared, “Krishna aunty meri mummy ki best friend, Rishi aur Randhir Kapoor ji ki mother, mere liye maa samaan thi. Maine apni zindagi mein unse behtar host nahi dekha. Woh bade dil aur pyaar se sabko khana khilati thi. Khilane mein jo maza hai na, mujhe lagta hai woh khaane mein bhi nahi hai. Isiliye kehte hain, dil ka raasta pet se hokar jaata hai” making the moment an emotional reflection on food, family and the love that comes with feeding someone.
What began as a conversation about Nishant’s dream soon turned into a heartfelt reflection on family, food and the warmth of making people feel at home.
