Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor has shared an emotional post on the occasion of his mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor's death anniversary.

His mother and Boney Kapoor's ex-wife succumbed to cancer in 2012 - days before the release of Arjun's Bollywood debut 'Ishaqzaade.'

The '2 States' star, on Sunday, took to Instagram to share an old picture with her.

He wrote alongside, "As I was shooting by a canal today in Patiala wishing I could send u a picture of how nice the location was Mom I realised I never quite got to walk the red carpet with u to show u one of my films but I'm certain in the last 6 years u have walked every step of the way with me thru these 9 films Along with mine & Anshula s personal journeys...wish u were here Mom so much has transpired so much where I would have looked at u for answers and looked at u to draw strength..."
