Anshula Kapoor recently took to her Instagram account to share a heartfelt memory of turning her late mother Mona Kapoor’s memory into a scent for her wedding day. Arjun Kapoor’s sister and Boney Kapoor’s daughter, Anshula, recently got married to long-term boyfriend Rohan Thakker in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai. If you too wish to preserve your loved one’s memory in a scent, here’s how you can do it.
Anshula Kapoor Turns Her Mother’s Memory Into A Scent
It is said that scent is the most powerful trigger for memory, which is capable of bringing back moments and emotions long after they’re gone. For newlywed Anshula Kapoor, scent became a deeply personal way to feel close to her late mother, Mona Kapoor, on one of the most important days of her life. Anshula shared an emotional video on her Instagram explaining how she carried a part of her mother with her throughout the wedding. In the video, holding up a childhood photograph taken on her fourth birthday, Anshula said, “This is me, and this is my mom. This picture was taken on my fourth birthday, and over the years, it has somehow become the picture I always come back to whenever I need to feel close to her.”

She admitted that while she anticipated wedding planning to revolve around flowers, outfits and guest lists, it instead became filled with moments where she longed for her mother’s presence. “I wanted to ask her questions. I wanted to see her face when she saw me as a bride. Mostly though, I just wanted one of her hugs,” she shared.
Rettre Creates Personalised Scents Based On Memories
To honour that memory, Anshula did something very exciting and fun. On her bachelorette trip to Seoul, Anshula collaborated with Rettre, a fragrance brand known for making personalised scents based on memories and emotions. She went to the Rettre store in Seoul to recreate the fragrance she associated with her mother. “I don’t remember every little detail anymore. But I remember how safe I felt in Maa’s arms. I remember the comfort of her hugs and being close enough to catch the faintest trace of her perfume,” she said.
On her wedding day, just before walking down the aisle, Anshula wore the custom-made fragrance. “For a moment, it felt like I was wrapped in one of her hugs again,” she recalled, adding that it was the closest she could come to having her mother beside her.
