#DrKhushbuPanchal from Ujjain commenced the program by reciting Sanskrit shlokas. A video message from renowned filmmaker #VidhuVinodChopra was also played, in which he read excerpts from Seema Kapoor’s book.

Anupam Kher expressed his admiration for Seema Kapoor, stating, “I have known Seema Kapoor for years, and she remains as graceful as ever. Seema Kapoor has written this book like a film script—readers will feel as if they are watching a movie unfold before their eyes. It is rare for someone to portray their experiences so truthfully on paper. I feel fortunate to be present at this launch. The way Seema Kapoor lives her life is inspiring, and I am sure her journey will continue to be wonderful.”

Seema Kapoor expressed her gratitude, saying, “I sincerely thank all the guests who took time out of their busy schedules to be here. I appreciate the kind words from Anupam Kher, Paresh Rawal, Boney Kapoor, Raghubir Yadav, Divya Dutta, Rumi Jaffery, and everyone else. My maternal grandfather was a revolutionary, and my maternal family was filled with Bengali artists. My paternal grandfather was a Colonel in the army. However, my father moved to Delhi and established a theater company with 200–250 artists. Eventually, cinema overshadowed theater, and my father struggled to keep the company alive, even taking loans to support the artists. My mother had to sell her jewelry and sarees. At that time, theater and folk performances were looked down upon, and I faced social discrimination because my family was involved in theater. I remember carrying just half a roti with pickles to school in my lunchbox.”

Dr Annu Kapoor thanked all the guests at the launch and said, “Seema has endured many hardships, pain, and struggles. She is no less than a warrior. She is the only sister we have, and she always remains cheerful. She is always eager to help others. Life is a battle, and we all have to fight our own battles. Her autobiography tells a tale of struggles, and she has honored our parents in this book. It is truly an inspiring read.”

Boney Kapoor became emotional while speaking about Seema Kapoor. He shared, “Seema Kapoor taught my daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, the correct pronunciation of Hindi and Urdu. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to her on the launch of her autobiography.”

Singer Jaspinder Narula expressed her happiness and congratulated Seema Kapoor on fulfilling her dream of writing a book.

#RaghubirYadav reminisced about his childhood memories with Seema Kapoor, whom he fondly called “Guddo.” He shared amusing anecdotes that made everyone laugh.

Paresh Rawal praised Seema Kapoor’s writing skills and said, “Writing an autobiography is not an easy task—it is full of challenges. Seema’s writing is exceptional, and I sincerely wish to be part of a project written by her.”

“The entertainment industry has altered drastically, it’s more corporate now and deadlines always linger. It is more sophisticated technically as well. Earlier, I used to have direct meetings with the producer to hear my role and to sign contracts with them. There used to be just one production manager, who handled all our issues. It was much simpler and less complicated. These days, there are so many departments handling stuff, half the time I’m unaware as to who is who and that gets difficult to remember,” she says.

She adds, “Those days, producers and channels finalise us based on our name and work history; whereas these days there are creatives and casting people who prefer to audition even renowned actors and that is cumbersome. Those days we had weekly telecasts so we could pick other good work as well but now due to daily’s, it’s not easy to pick up good work simultaneously. Many more changes are there which I feel aren’t required as much as clarity and competency suffers.”

But some things have worked out for the better as well, she says. “Thanks to multiple platforms, there is more opportunity for work, exposure and exceptional roles. In acting, one has to be more subtle and realistic than before. Yet, it all depends on the demand of the character and scenes. Your instinct has to be sharp enough to grasp and justify the role since I don’t follow the bandwagon or set rules to anything,” she says.
