The Kapoors in Bollywood are one of the most well-known families in the industry. From Prithviraj Kapoor to Raj Kapoor to Rishi and Ranbir Kapoor the Kapoor family members are hailed in India. But did you know that their roots are from Pakistan? Yes you read that right! The trailblazer of the Kapoor family Prithviraj Kapoor has his roots in Lyallpur now Faisalabad Pakistan. His ancestral home the Kapoor Haveli is located in Peshawar. The Ancestral Epicentre of Bollywoods Trailblazers Kapoor Haveli in Peshawar Pakistan isnt just a place. It is the birthplace of Prithviraj Kapoor — who is often called the patriarch of Bollywoods First Family. The multi-storey mansion was built between 1918 and 1922 by Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor father of Prithviraj Kapoor (Raj’s dad) and consists of 40 rooms ornate jharokhas (overhanging balconies) and floral motifs. Once a place that glittered with lights and love it has now turned into a mess. After suffering from earthquakes and rainfall the haveli has been reduced to ruins. In the early 90s Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor visited the house to reconnect with their roots even scooping up a handful of soil to bring back to Mumbai — a symbolic act that now seems almost prophetic. The current owner a filthy-rich jeweller named Haji Israr Shah claims hes willing to part with the property. However he is only looking for the right pricewhich as per him is Rs 2 billion. In his own golden words: “I supply 120–160 kg of gold to Peshawar’s biggest jewellery market weekly. Money isn’t the issue.” The place holds a significant amount of history memories and above all it has given Bollywood its biggest actor.
