Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has become a celebrated actor in the world of cinema and being the daughter of iconic actor Anil Kapoor, talent definitely runs in their family. The body of work for this iconic actor speaks volumes of his hard work and dedication. Besides being a talented actor and producer, Anil is also a doting father, who doesn't shy away from showing his love for his daughter Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and son Harshvardhan.
