While the internet is buzzing with appreciation posts, the 62-year-old actor too took to the photo-sharing app to share a heart-warming message for his actress daughter. Sharing one of his stills from Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, which was juxtaposed with throwback pictures of Sonam, Anil wrote on Instagram, "Never have I been so proud of you @sonamkapoor. It has been my honour sharing the screen with you beta. Today we hand over our labour of love #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga over to you.. our audience." Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Movie Review: Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao Pitch in Heart-Warming Performances in Sonam Kapoor’s Unusual Love Story

Talking about the movie, our in-house film critic Sreeju Sudhakaran wrote in his review, "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga's premise pushes boundaries by bringing homosexuality out of the closet. What sets the movie a few steps back is that it doesn't really push the boundaries in handling the unusual love story. Still, I would recommend Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga for its feel-good narrative, bold premise and some heart-warming performances from the lead cast."

On the professional front, Sonam Kapoor, who is currently seen in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, alongside Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has already begun shooting for Abhishek Sharma’s directorial The Zoya Factor. The film also stars Karwaan actor Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role.
