Think about Bollywood families, and the first family you’ll probably think of is the Kapoor khaandaan. It’s an illustrious family, with generations of Kapoors being involved in the film industry – all starting with Prithviraj Kapoor, who made his film debut in 1929. And while these days it’s all about Ranbir, Kareena and Karisma Kapoor, we can’t forget about the two generations of Kapoors before who made their mark and helped shape the Bollywood industry. Which is why we love that Rishi Kapoor often takes to Twitter to post vintage photos of his family with accompanying captions to give us a glimpse into the good old days.

Take a look!
