A poignant photo from the ceremony captured Anil and Boney Kapoor seated on the riverbank, offering prayers before immersing the ashes in the holy waters. The setting, steeped in tradition and tranquility, was the same location where the family had immersed the ashes of their father, Surinder Kapoor, nearly ten years ago.

In a heartfelt tribute shared on social media, Anil Kapoor reflected on the emotional moment. He wrote, "Grief and Healing… Today we immersed Ma’s ashes in the Ganga, in the same place where we had laid Dad to rest nearly a decade ago… With the grief came a quiet sense of peace, like Ma and Dad are finally back together. With each other, home at last."

The Kapoors, known for their close-knit family ties, have always emphasised the importance of tradition, heritage, and honoring their elders.
