Occupation	actor

Rehman (23 June 1923 – 1979) was an Indian film actor in Bollywood whose career spanned from the late 1940s through to the late 1970s. Rehman often played suave and sophisticated characters. He was an integral part of the Guru Dutt team. Member of Afghanistan royal dynasty of Mohammadzay (called also Barakzay)descendant of Great Amir Dost Mohammad Khan. His family was exiled during the 2nd Afghan-British war (1879) to India.

Film career

Rehman's career in movies was an accident. He needed a job and got one as third assistant to a director, Vishram Bedekar, in 1944. When a role in Chand (movie) required a Pashtun turban, Rehman was given the part because he was the only one who could tie one. Initially he played all roles, but with time the roles he got were mainly those with a shade of grey.

Chaudhvin Ka Chand and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam and Waqt were some of his memorable roles, the first two with Guru Dutt. He was a regular in Guru Dutt films (Pyaasa) as they were friends while trying for a break into films. He received four Filmfare nominations as Best Supporting Actor for: Phir Subha Hogi (1958), Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966).

Death

In 1977, he suffered three heart attacks after which he got throat cancer and died after a prolonged and painful illness in 1979.

, 1860]] Kapoor or Kapur and sometimes but rarely Capoor (Punjabi: ਕਪੂਰ‌, Hindi: कपूर‌) is the name of a clan belonging to the Khatri (Kshatriya or warrior) caste. They are part of the "Dhai Ghar", meaning two and a half houses. Kapurs, Malhotra (also called Mehras or Mehrotras), Khanna and Seth (also called Kakkar) marry their children with each other. Kapoor can not marry a Kapoor but can only marry Malhotra, Khanna or Seth. This leaves three "Ghars" to marry out of which they are not supposed to marry any of their mother's side relatives with mother's paternal last name (it could be Khanna, Malhotra or Seth). Which makes it "Dhai Ghar Marriage that is why the word "Dhai Ghar". The clan hails originally from the Punjab region of the subcontinent of India. Prominent families bearing this name include:

The Maharajas of Burdwan in Bengal, detailed below.

The Kapoor family of Amritsar (Punjab) with generations involved in the Indian Freedom struggle led by Sh. Tilak Raj Kapoor a leading RSS activist who supported the migration of Hindu & Sikh families from Pakistan during 1947 by organising several relief camps in and around Amritsar.

The Kapoor family of Bollywood, five generations of theatre and cinema personalities;

Rai Bahadur Jankidas Kapur, who founded Atlas Cycles Ltd. in 1950 at Sonepat in present-day Haryana;

Dr. Brij Mohan Kapoor, Professor Emeritus of Botany at St. Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Kapoor published over 200 papers and discovered a number of plant species.

In addition, many notable contributors to modern Indian society belong to the Kapoor clan (see below).

Kapoor Khatris claim Caucasian Avar and Chuvash ancestry.

The Maharajas of Burdwan

The Zamindars of Burdwan in Bengal belong to the Kapoor clan, and held the title of Maharajah. Maharajah Bahadur Tedj Chand Ray adopted Chinilal Kapur. His descendants continued as the Maharajas of Burdwan. The family continued as rulers of Burdwan until zamindari was abolished by the government of India in 1955/56. While called maharajahs they were in no sense rulers or aristocrats but wealthy Banias who had purchased the right to collect rent in the District of Burdwan from the British during the Permanent Settlement of Bengal. The area remaining however under direct administration of the British via the Indian Civil Service officers on the Bengal State. They also were never members of the Chamber or Council of Princes such as the Maharaja of Patiala or Kapurtala. Thus the title Maharaja was only honorific as was the case in much of India. During the three centuries that they held the estate of Burdwan, the Kapoor family extended their patronage to various scholars and artists, including:

Paramahansa Yogananda, swami and philosopher

Sadhak Kamalakanta, Bengali poet and singer

Gopeswar Banerjee, noted musician of Vishnupur

Dasharathi Roy, poet and composer of Panchali

Padmalochan, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna

Several famous buildings and tanks in Burdwan were built by the Maharajas of Burdwan, including the Sarbamangala temple, the Baikunthanath Siva temple, the Shyam sagar tank, the Ranisagar tank, the Bijoy Toran and the Rajbadi (palace). In 1882, the Burdwan Raj College was started in Burdwan, which was supported entirely by the estates of the Kapoor dynasty.

Rabindranath Tagore in his "The Hungry Stones And Other Stories" writes: "the Chhota Lord had been heard to say that in all Bengal, the only really respectable families were those of the Maharaja of Burdwan and the Babus of Nayanjore."

Kapoor family of Bollywood

Prithviraj Kapoor (1906–1972), a noted pioneer of Indian theater and of the Hindi film industry, belonged to the Kapoor clan. He was born at Samundri near the town of Lyallpur in Pakistani Punjab. He moved to Bombay, India in 1928 and ended up founding a dynasty of movie stars and film-makers. In 1944, he started the Prithvi Theatre, a travelling theatre troupe.

In his personal life, he remained a traditional Khatri, with the women of his household remaining away from the glitter and decadence of the movie industry. That changed when his grandson Randhir Kapoor married a movie star Babita in 1971.

Prithviraj Kapoor's family mansion in Peshawar, Pakistan still stands, now in the possession of some Bangladeshis.

Prithviraj was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his contribution to Indian Cinema posthumously. His son, Shashi Kapoor, along with his wife, Jennifer Kapoor, has revived Prithvi Theatre in his honour.
