The Kapoor Khandan

www.saawaryafilm.com




Turks and Iranians usually know the film Awara. Pretty much everyone can hum the theme song ‘Awara hoon’… and some mention the name Raj Kapoor: producer, director and star of Awara.

If this was a 101 class explaining Who is Who in the Hindi film sector, then Raj Kapoor would be an excellent place to start.

Raj Kapoor was not only an actor, producer and director of Hindi films, he and his name represent a whole Hindi film ‘khandan’ (family). His father was a famous Indian stage actor called Prithviraj Kapoor. His brothers Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor are still active as actors and producers in Hindi films.

His oldest son Randhir Kapoor is head of RK film studios in Mumbai. His second son Rishi Kapoor is a famous actor and his youngest son Rajiv Kapoor was also active in Hindi films as actor and producer.

His son Randhir is father to Karishma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, both of whom are incredibly popular and successful actresses in the Hindi film sector. Kareena Kapoor is the star of my favorite Hindi film Jab We Met, which I have already mentioned. Rishi Kapoor’s son Randbir Kapoor made his acting debut in the cinematically very beautiful Saawariya in November 2007.
