Bollywoods famous Kapoor family has a reputation for being associated with films from every generation. Some achieved superstardom while others retreated after failing. This family has produced numerous superstars who have enriched Indian cinema with their art. In the fourth generation names like Ranbir Kapoor Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor shine on the big screen. Still several members of the Kapoor family maintain a distance from the film world. The girls of the Kapoor family in particular have largely stayed away from the film industry while every son except one has entered it. Shammi Kapoor’s family and the next generation This is Shammi Kapoors grandson Vishwapratap Kapoor a lesser-known figure. Vishwapratap Kapoor is busy juggling both his personal and professional lives. Shammi Kapoor is considered one of Bollywoods most charismatic and popular actors. He carved a niche for himself in Hindi cinema with his acting and style but his son Aditya Raj Kapoor failed to achieve the same success. Aditya Raj Kapoor has two children: a son Vishwapratap Kapoor and a daughter Tulsi Kapoor. While Tulsi showed an interest in music and art Vishwapratap initially maintained a distance from the film industry choosing a path toward education and science. Years ago Shammi Kapoor created a website where he shared information about his entire family. This inclination was felt since childhood A childhood profile written by Vishwapratap is still available on this site. In it he wrote “My name is Vishwapratap Raj Kapoor and people call me Vishu. I was born on August 18 1983 at Breach Candy Hospital Bombay. I study at Bombay International School. I enjoy cars computers air rifle shooting and airplanes. I collect scale models of cars and want to become a test driver for a supercar company.” This profile clearly shows that Vishwapratap was inclined towards technology and science since childhood. Vishwapratap Kapoor settled in America Over time Vishwapratap took his childhood interest seriously and chose a different path. He received higher education from the University of Houston and then the University of Illinois. Afterward he began a career as a software engineer in the United States away from the glitz and glamour of India and settled there. Vishwaprataps younger sister Tulsi Kapoor also chose music and art over films. She works as a musician and creative artist. Father Aditya Raj Kapoor’s efforts Although his father Aditya Raj Kapoor dabbled in acting direction and writing he didnt achieve significant success in the film industry. His son Vishwapratap chose technology over Bollywood adding a new dimension to the Kapoor family legacy. While most Kapoors are 10th- or 12th-graders Vishwapratap holds an engineering degree and is considered the most educated Kapoor.
