Nirmal Kapoor Mumbai
Nirmal Kapoor, mother of renowned Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, and producer Boney Kapoor, has died on May 2, 2025, at the age of 90. The family confirmed her peaceful passing following a prolonged period of age-related health challenges. She had been under medical care at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in recent months.
The Kapoor family is mourning a deep personal loss, as Nirmal Kapoor was not only a pillar of strength but also a cherished matriarch who left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Her demise has cast a somber shadow over the industry and among those who knew her.
Nirmal Kapoor was the wife of late Surinder Kapoor, a celebrated figure in Indian cinema and a legendary producer whose legacy continues through his family. Together, they raised a family that would go on to shape and influence Bollywood across generations. Her sons — Anil, Sanjay, and Boney Kapoor — have each expressed their grief privately, supported by their extended family and close friends.
In September 2024, Nirmal Kapoor had celebrated her 90th birthday surrounded by loved ones. During that time, she was briefly active on social media, sharing moments of joy and family togetherness that offered a glimpse into her warm personality and enduring bond with her children and grandchildren. She was especially close to her grandchildren — actors Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Shanaya Kapoor — who often spoke fondly of their “Nani” in interviews and social posts.
Known for her quiet dignity, grace, and affection for her family, Nirmal Kapoor remained a source of emotional strength for those around her. Her passing marks the end of an era for the Kapoor family, one that spanned decades of cinematic influence and familial unity.
The Kapoor household is currently in mourning, with private rites expected to be held in Mumbai. Condolences and tributes have begun to pour in from colleagues, fans, and friends across the film fraternity, remembering Nirmal Kapoor not only as the mother of stars but as a beloved figure in her own right.
Her legacy lives on through her family, and the values she upheld — love, resilience, and unity — will continue to echo across generations.
