The Mistress: Harsh and Sunita's marriage is on the rocks in part because he had an extramarital affair with a family friend named Anu, which has not yet ended.

Family Portrait of Characterization

Family Portrait of Characterization: The ironic variant, as the family does not get along but the patriarch wants a happy family photo titled Kapoor & Sons (Since 1921). On the day of the shoot, dark secrets come to light and they don't wind up taking it. They eventually take it after Harsh dies, and place a cutout of him in the new photo in his memory.

Parental Favoritism
 Kapoor & Sons / int_88933ad4
comment
Parental Favoritism: Between their two sons, Harsh and especially Sunita like Rahul more because he found success in his writing career. Somewhat deconstructed, as he's reluctant to come out as gay to them, since they think so highly of him but it wears on him throughout the film.

Parting-Words Regret: Tia relates to Arjun that she was angry her parents missed her 13th birthday and told them over the phone to never come back before they died in a plane crash. Harsh's family blows up at each other over the revelation of his affair. He gets into a fatal car accident shortly after, and they are filled with regret.

comment
Plagiarism in Fiction: Part of why Arjun dislikes his brother is that he suspects Rahul stole his idea for a novel. It turns out Sunita gave Arjun's manuscript to Rahul because she didn't believe that Arjun was serious about becoming a writer.
