The Kapoors ancestors were Afgan Hindus. The film Bobby which was filmed in Kashmir is a classic. Rishi's best movie in my opinion.

It's sad now when i look back at the actors and actresses that I idolize as a youngster growing up. They are slowly passing on.

Just last week viewed Netflix Kapoor & Sons. He looked very old like Shammi and Shashi. As big as Raj Kapoor, lots of weight. I thought they made him up that way, but he must have aged that way.

Always thought he was the younger brother to Raj, Shammi and Shashi, he got old just as they did with lots of weight. In the movie, he was funny even though the subject was his dying. Must have been a realistic role for him.
