Kapoor or ''Kapur'' and sometimes but rarely ''Capoor'' (Punjabi: ਕਪੂਰ‌, Hindi: कपूर‌) is the name of a gotra of punjabi descent belonging to the Khatri (''Kshatriya'' or warrior) Varna. 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 Afghanistan 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 Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh 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.

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 Pakistan. 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 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.

Sonam Kapoor (; born 9 June 1985) is an Indian film actress who appears in Bollywood films. Kapoor made her acting debut in the unsuccessful film ''Saawariya'' opposite newcomer Ranbir Kapoor, which earned her a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She earned her first commercial success in ''I Hate Luv Storys'' opposite Imran Khan. Other Bollywood films she has appeared in include ''Delhi-6'', ''Aisha'' and the multistarrer ''Thank You''.

Early life

Sonam was born and raised in Mumbai. She is the eldest daughter of Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor, and the granddaughter of filmmaker Surinder Kapoor. She is the niece of producer Boney Kapoor, actress Sridevi, actor Sanjay Kapoor and producer Sandeep Marwah.

She went to school in Mumbai at the Arya Vidya Mandir school in Juhu and then enrolled in the United World College of South East Asia to do her International Baccalaureate. She speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and is a trained dancer.

Career

Early work (2004–2006)

Before starting her career off as an actress, Kapoor worked as an assistant directer under Sanjay Leela Bhansali in 2004, and assisted him during the making of his film, ''Black'' which was released in early 2005.

Debut and breakthrough (2007–2009)

She made her acting debut alongside newcomer, Ranbir Kapoor in Bhansali's ''Saawariya'' (2007), which failed to do well at the box office. Her performance was opened to good reviews by critics.

In 2009, Kapoor appeared in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's ''Delhi-6'', opposite Abhishek Bachchan. The film flopped at the box office and received mixed critical reviews, but her performance was praised. Critic Rajeev Masand commented, "Sonam Kapoor is the revelation in Delhi 6. She's a firecracker performer, instinctive and uninhibited in what isn't even a conventional female lead".

Initial success (2010–present)

In 2010, she appeared in Punit Malhotra's ''I Hate Luv Storys'' opposite Imran Khan. The film went on to become her first box office success. She also appeared in the romantic comedy, ''Aisha'', opposite Abhay Deol, which was declared a below average performer at the box office.

Kapoor will be next seen in the romance film ''Mausam'' alongside Shahid Kapoor and ''Players'', a remake of ''The Italian Job'', alongside Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol and Bipasha Basu.

Career

As an actor

1980s

Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with Umesh Mehra's ''Hamare Tumhare'' (1979) in a supporting role. After a few minor roles in films such as ''Hum Paanch'' (1980) and ''Shakti'' (1982), he got his first leading role in the 1983 Hindi film, ''Woh Saat Din''. Kapoor later tried acting in Tollywood and Sandalwood, and appeared in the Telugu film ''Vamsa Vriksham'' and Mani Ratnam's Kannada debut film ''Pallavi Anu Pallavi'' released in 1983.

Next, he appeared in Yash Chopra's drama ''Mashaal'' (1984) as Tapori, for which he won his first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category. Kapoor's 1985 releases included ''Yudh'' & ''Saaheb''.

In 1986, Kapoor played the role of a care free playboy in the hit ''Janbaaz'', costarring Feroz Khan. His other release of 1986 ''Insaaf Ki Awaaz'' was a box office hit. In the same year Basu Chatterjee directed ''Chameli Ki Shaadi'' and he displayed his crackling flare in comedy.

Going on to deliver huge commercial success with films like ''Meri Jung'' (1985), a career-defining role of an angry young lawyer fighting for justice, which eventually established Kapoor's credential as a mature actor and both audience and critics gave their thumbs up to his performance. Kapoor played a comic tapori in ''Karma'' (1986), the biggest hit of the year. Kapoor generated wide applause from audience of all walks of life for his title role in Shekhar Kapur's sci-fi film ''Mr. India'' (1987), the biggest hit of the year. The film became one of his biggest box office hits and shot him to superstar status. Anil kapoor was equally impressive in Mahesh Bhatt directed film ''Thikana''. In 1988, he was rewarded with his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his rivetting performance in the hit film, ''Tezaab'', the biggest blockbuster of 1988. Anil proved to be the only saving grace even in flops like ''Ram-Avtar''. The following year he delivered more mega commercial and critical successes with ''Ram Lakhan'' (which became the second highest box office earner of 1989) and the audience went berserk with the song ''One Two Ka Four''. In the highly acclaimed film ''Parinda'', Kapoor played his role with conviction, and his biggest achievement was displaying the vulnerability of his character so perfectly. In ''Rakhwala'', Kapoor played a tapori again and the film was declared a success. Kapoor excelled in his eccentric portrayal of an autistic person in the 1989 hit, ''Eeshwar'' and this film proved his versatility as an actor.

1990s

The year 1990 saw him play a dual role, as twin brothers in the highly successful ''Kishen Kanhaiya'' and in the same year he further attained reasonable box office success with ''Ghar Ho To Aisa''. Kapoor came up with a critically acclaimed performance in ''Awaargi''. Many critics called that his best performance ever. This was followed by a restrained yet striking performance as a middle age man in Yash Chopra's romantic drama ''Lamhe'', a landmark film of Indian cinema and Yash Chopra's best work to date. It was the first film in which he appeared without a moustache. Although the film was a box office failure in India, it proved to be a success overseas. Kapoor's 1991 release, ''Benaam Badshaah'' was accorded above average status at the ticket window.

In 1992, Kapoor received his second Filmfare Best Actor Award for his hard-hitting performance in Indra Kumar's ''Beta'' — the biggest blockbuster of the year — opposite Madhuri Dixit. Kapoor was highly impressive with his comic act in ''Khel'' and his comic timing was one of the highlights of the film. In 1993, Boney Kapoor's much delayed mega-budget, ''Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja'' was a disaster at the box office and damaged Kapoor's reputation as the industry's biggest star at the time. The only major success in these years was ''Laadla'' with Sridevi, a film produced by Nitin Manmohan. Kapoor gave a splendid performance as a simpleton lover in the hit musical ''1942: A Love Story''. His 1995 release, ''Trimurti (film)'' was a box office disaster, though Kapoor's performance was creditable. Kapoor came up with a decent performance in the average performer ''Gharwali Bharwali''.

After a few box office failures, he had box office success with films like ''Loafer'' (1996),. In ''Judaai'', Kapoor's depiction of a loving husband twisted between his two wives was appreciated and this film fared well at the box office. ''Deewana Mastana'' (1997), ''Biwi No.1'' (1999) and ''Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain'' (1999) were box office hits. Kapoor’s unusual characterization of a zealous, crooked musical superstar in ''Taal'' (1999) shocked both audience and critics alike. He also won rave reviews for his superb performance in ''Virasat'', a remake of the Tamil film, ''Thevar Magan'' (1992), in which ''Kamal Hassan'' had played Kapoor's role. He also starred in the unsuccessful ''Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate'', which was legendary filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherji's last commercial release, along with Juhi Chawla. He shaved his moustache once again for the film, in the second half, where he played actor Sajid Khan's wife and his delightful comic timing was a real treat to watch.

2000s

Kapoor's first release of 2000 was ''Bulandi (2000 film)'', in which he played a double role, showing restraint and maturity as the elder Thakur. He won his first National Film Award in the Best Actor category for his role in Rajkumar Santoshi's critically acclaimed ''Pukar'' in 2000. Kapoor again tasted critical and commercial success with ''Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai'' in 2000. Kapoor stole the show as Rajeev in the much delayed, ''Karobaar'', a film directed by Rakesh Roshan, where Kapoor’s dialogue delivery was appreciated. He delivered a powerhouse performance in Shanker's ''Nayak'' which is considered to be his best performance by many.

In 2002, Kapoor gave an excellent performance in the role of a fat man in ''Badhaai Ho Badhaai'', a takeoff from the Hollywood hit, ''Nutty Professor''. He notched up yet another glorious performance in the Indra Kumar directed film ''Rishtey''. In ''Om Jai Jagadish'', he gave an amazing performance. Kapoor shared the screen with Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan for the first time in ''Armaan'', and underplayed his character of a neurosurgeon superbly.

In his 2003 release, ''Calcutta Mail'', he delivered one of his best performances. His character was defined with ample scope to perform in this screenplay-driven performance and in spite of the strong supporting cast, this really came out as Kapoor's one-man show. He ignited the silver screen with an authoritative performance in ''Musafir''. Kapoor gave an incredibly restrained performance as the stricken husband in the thriller ''My Wife's Murder'', which he also produced. Anees Bazmee's super-hit comedy ''No Entry'' (2005), followed for Kapoor that year. The film went on to become the highest grossing film of the year.

Kapoor played a grey character with finesse in the 2005 thriller, ''Chocolate''. Anil's first release of 2007 ''Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love'' was a box office hit in overseas though a flop in India. Anees Bazmee's ''Welcome'', which released on 21 December 2007 and was declared the biggest success of the year. Kapoor's understated performance in Subhash Ghai's ''Black and White'' was highly lauded. His first release in 2008, Abbas Mustan's thriller, ''Race'' became a box office hit. Vijay Krishna Acharya's, ''Tashan'' marked Anil's comeback to Yash Raj Films but failed to do well at the box office.

His most recent films were his first English-language film, ''Slumdog Millionaire'', which was released on 12 November 2008, and ''Yuvvraaj'', which was released on 21 November 2008. ''Yuvvraaj'', with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles, failed to do well at the box office. On the other hand, ''Slumdog Millionaire'' has won a number of international awards and received rave reviews from critics, costing only US $15 million to produce, but pulling in more than $352 million worldwide. In January 2009, he attended the 66th Golden Globe Awards ceremony along with the team of ''Slumdog Millionaire'', which won four Golden Globe Awards. Kapoor also received a nomination for Best Ensemble at the Black Reel Awards of 2008 and has won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

2010s

In 2010, Kapoor starred in the eighth season of the American television series ''24'', portraying Omar Hassan, President of the fictional Islamic Republic of Kamistan. In October of that year he was cast to play a villain in both Mission: Impossible IV and ''Power''.

As producer

In 2002, Kapoor produced his first film, the comedy ''Badhaai Ho Badhaai'', in which he also starred in. It was followed by My Wife's Murder (2005), and ''Gandhi, My Father (2007)''. ''Gandhi, My Father'' focuses on the relationship between Mahatma Gandhi and his son Harilal Gandhi (2007) and was awarded the National Film Award - Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film). He produced the movie ''Shortkut: The con is on'' starring Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi. In 2010, he produced the movie ''Aisha'', starring his daughter Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol in the lead roles. The film performed moderately at the box office, grossing Rs. 15.50 crore in its theatrical run.
