The Kapoor family often called the First Family of Indian Cinema has been part of the film industry for around 95 years. Spanning their influence in Indian cinema and other creative fields remain unmatched. However it was perceived that Kapoor women were refrained from acting until it was Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoors daughters Karisma and Kareena Kapoor who broke this norm and ventured into the films. Similar was the case with Prithvi Raj Kapoors daughter Urmila Sial Kapoor who couldnt pursue her career as an actress while her brothers Raj Kapoor Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor stepped in and conquered the world of cinema. Who is Urmila Sial Kapoor? Born on December 30 1933 to the legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor and his wife Ramsarni Mehra Kapoor she was younger than Raj Kapoor (born in 1924) and Shammi Kapoor (1931) and elder than Shashi Kapoor (born in 1938). Urmila graduated from Lady Irwin College which comes under Delhi University. At a very young age she got married to Charanjit Sial who belonged to a family of coalmine owners. He passed away after Urmilas 60th birthday celebration. They have 4 children- three daughters Anuradha Sial Priti Sial Namita Sial and one son named Jatin Sial who is an actor. Jatin has starred in films such as Aa Ab Laut Chalen and Shahid Kapoor starrer Vivah. He also worked in multiple TV shows and web series including Aahat Saans Sanjivani Tashan-e-Ishq Potluck and Mismatched. His mother Urmila Sial Kapoor passed away on July 25 2001 at the age of 67. Was Raj Kapoors sister Urmila Sial Kapoor adopted? Due to dusky complexion Urmila was always teased by his brothers- Raj Shammi and Shashi that she was adopted. Just because I am dark my brothers have always teased me by saying I was not actually their sister but adopted by my parents since there was no female sibling in the family. My father and mother however thought otherwise. They said I was the best of the Kapoor flock. Urmila once shared.
