The Kapoor family is one of the most prominent families in the film industry. They are among the first families to be part of show business; with 96 years and four generations of active members in the industry, the Kapoor clan can easily be called the pioneers of Bollywood. However, did you know that the Kapoors hailed from the Peshawar region of Pakistan?
The Kapoor Haveli is still one of the most notable monuments in Pakistan. It was built over a century ago in Peshawar between 1918 and 1922. The estate was the home to the first member of the Kapoor clan to enter the film industry, Prithviraj Kapoor. The house was built by his father, Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor.
