Background
Originally hailing from the city of Samundri, District Lyallpur, Punjab of Hindu Khatri origin, five generations of the Kapoor family have acted, directed or produced in the Bollywood industry, starting from Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor right down to Ranbir Kapoor. It was founded by actor Prithviraj Kapoor, whose eldest son Raj Kapoor became a superstar in the Hindi film industry, and his two other sons (Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor) became stars in their own right. Most members of the family have either acted in, produced or directed films, and have had a major impact on Indian films.
Though all three of Prithviraj Kapoor's sons became actors, it is Raj Kapoor's descendants that have carried on the family legacy. His sons, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor went on to become well-known actors whilst his youngest son Rajiv Kapoor was not as successful. Randhir Kapoor's daughters, Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, have gone on to find success in the film industry, although the former has temporarily retired due to marriage. In addition to that, Rishi Kapoor's son, Ranbir Kapoor made his debut in 2007 opposite Sonam Kapoor, the daughter of Anil Kapoor, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya.
