After the arrival of Prithviraj Kapoor, this family has given countless stars and superstars, and almost all of them have gained popularity after appearing in films. The word ‘almost’ is necessary here because an actor from this illustrious family had to work as an extra to earn his/her living. he/she did not even get any offer from his/her famous nephew Raj Kapoor.
