Anil has often talked about how his wife, Sunita Kapoor, has had a major role in his success. The actor, during the Subedar’s trailer launch event, talked about how his wife keeps him grounded. He said, “No one is my fan at my home. As I was leaving home today, I told my wife I was heading for a trailer launch. She asked, ‘Which film?’ She has no idea what’s happening in my professional life — and that’s the kind of family I come from. They treat me exactly the same. Sometimes I even ask for 10,000–15,000 in cash before heading to a shoot."

During the event, the actor also revealed that his wife sacrificed a lot for his career and said, “In Subedaar, I think I dug into my relationship with my wife. Of course, I don't have this kind of relationship with my daughter. Rhea, Sonam and I are like friends… The love which I have for my wife, and the love for my work… waha I am… the love for the nation. I love my nation, I love my work also, but how do I (pauses) get that in that? Then of course I love my wife.”

Their eldest daughter is Sonam, who made her debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Saawariya. Their younger daughter Rhea, is a movie producer. While the youngest son, Harshvardhan, is also an actor in Bollywood.
