Speaking at an event to celebrate ten years of the iconic win, along with Gulzar and AR Rahman, Anil Kapoor said, “For the family, Oscar doesn’t matter. My wife and I were discussing Sonam (daughter) the night before Oscar! I said ‘let me sleep now’ and she said ‘leave Oscar, listen to me first.’ So even then, the family was my priority. I got a lot of firing from Sunita the night before Oscar ceremony.”
