Several families have contributed to the advancement of Indian cinema over the years, across sectors, languages, and communities. The Kapoors are the most famous family in Hindi cinema, with five generations of directors, stage artists and actors. They span nearly eighty years of Indian filmmaking, from the 1920s to the present. They are also related to other prominent cinema families. Surinder Kapoor, Bollywood producer and father of actors Anil, Boney, and Sanjay Kapoor, was Prithviraj Kapoor's cousin. Kareena Kapoor's marriage to Saif Ali Khan has linked them to the Pataudis, and Shweta Bachchan's mother-in-law was Raj Kapoor's daughter, the late Ritu Nanda. Here's a look at the Kapoor family tree, which spans 93 years and 5 generations of direct descendants, with Prithviraj Kapoor as the patriarch.
