Arjun Kapoor steps up as older brother
This is indeed a distressing time for the whole family, but one thing that stood out all these days was the way Arjun Kapoor stepped up as the elder brother to support his stepsisters, Jahnavi and Khushi Kapoor.
Arjun was the one who was also taking care of the entire funeral procession, say reports. Right from attending the visitors to arranging for Sridevi’s the final yatra, Arjun took it up as his own responsibility as a dutiful stepson.
