Kapoor family legacy

Mumbai: Some stories of Hindi cinema are not just tales, but they also give important lessons of life. The story of Kapoor family also falls in this category, which made an actor a superstar. This story is about a time when a father left his son alone so that he could establish himself in the film industry.

Contribution of Kapoor family

The name of Kapoor family is like a strong foundation in Indian cinema. This tradition started from Prithviraj Kapoor and reached Raj Kapoor and then Rishi Kapoor gave it new heights. Rishi Kapoor entered films in his childhood, when he played his father’s childhood character in the film ‘Mera Naam Joker’. But his real identity was revealed later.

Made a big debut with Bobby

Rishi Kapoor started his career as a hero in 1973 with the film ‘Bobby’. The film starred him alongside Dimple Kapadia, and was directed by his father Raj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor’s behavior on the set was strict, and Rishi had to address him as ‘Saheb’. This discipline was an important part of his training.

Rishi Kapoor was fully prepared during the shooting of a song in the film, but when no choreographer came, Raj Kapoor told him that he would have to do everything himself.

Example of Amitabh and Dharmendra

Rishi Kapoor got nervous in this situation, but Raj Kapoor gave him an important advice. He said that if the choreographer comes, he will teach him like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, due to which people will see him as their imitation. Therefore, they have to create their own identity.

This advice sat deeply in the heart of Rishi Kapoor. He developed his own dance style, expression and romantic style. Thus, when Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra were big action stars, Rishi Kapoor created his own identity as a romantic hero.

Became a dancing star from the first film itself

The success of the film ‘Bobby’ made Rishi Kapoor a star overnight. The audience liked his spontaneity and unique style in his songs. All this was possible because of that day when he had to prove himself without any support.
