A legend
 His death has robbed show business of a seasoned 
entertainer. A member of the Hindi film industry’s 
most storied clan, Kapoor first appeared before 
the camera as a child in the 1950s. After he 
started his career in earnest as an adult in the 
1970s, his choice of roles spanned romances, 
comedies, socially themed dramas, thrillers, 
historical and melodramas.

the third of the five children of Raj and Krishna 
Kapoor. The family was already heaving with 
legends. Rishi Kapoor’s grandfather, Prithviraj 
Kapoor, had been a renowned stage and film 
performer since the late 1920s. His father Raj 
Kapoor directed, produced and starred in his 
own films

 The sparkling eyes, robust complexion, ready 
smile and selfless romantic disposition were 
already on display in Mera Naam Joker. In the 
coming years, Kapoor sealed his reputation as 
the ideal lover boy, resulting in such popular 
romances as Hum Kisise Kam Nahin, Laila Majnu, 
Sargam and Prem Rog

A great foodie
 The famous Kapoor love for liquor and his love 
for food was so great that it was difficult for 
the actor to decide what his favourite was! 
Being a true Punjabi he loved parathas and 
non-vegetarian food. He was very fond of Parsi 
Akori style eggs and Yakhni Pulao prepared by 
his mother.
