The Kapoor Family
Whether you look back to the begginings of the Cinema in India, or view today's scene in what is called Bollywood, one family has its threads running through all eras, the Kapoor family.
The great grandfather is Prithviraj Kapoor who often perforned with Durga Khote back in the late 40's. Until recently, with the ascent of Kareena Kapoor, and her sister, Karisma Kapoor, the most known were Raj Kapoor who founded R.K. Films, and his brother Shashi Kapoor who was married to Jennifer Kendall.
Though I enjoy most, not all, of the family, I dislike Rishi Kapoor, and Shakti Kapoor.
Long ago, I stopped trying to trace which member is related to which part of the family, as some of the family are related via uncles, and brothers of aunts. Being in the movie circle limits who your family see fit for you to marry, they are linked to the Tagore family a well-known Bengal family of poets via Kareena, who is married to Saif Ali Khan, the son of Sharmila Tagore.
