Rare works of art
While most of the paintings adorn the walls of the various rooms of their Juhu bungalow, the expensive ones have been put together in a special room. There are rare paintings by M F Husain, Tyeb Mehta, Jamini Roy and Anjolie Ela Menon. Sunita, who has an exquisite taste for art, selects the works while hubby Anil simply signs the cheque.
When Anil performed risky action scenes after his career took off, colleagues would tease him, "Why are you breaking a leg and risking your life over a shot? Your wife will go and buy a painting with the money."
Adds the source, "Sunita loves art and has passed that passion on to her daughter. The Kapoor girl buys paintings with her film fees. Sonam has her mother's artistic taste and visual sense for beauty and fashion."
