Biography
Rishi Kapoor was born in September 1952. The actor’s hometown is Bombay. He was the son of a famous director who was only gaining popularity in those days. Risha's father was called Raja Kapoor, and his mother was Krsna. In addition to Rishi himself, the family had two more brothers, the eldest and younger. When the future actor was still a very young boy, the relationship between his parents cooled down, and Rishi's father found himself a new passion in the image of a young actress Nargis, who managed to star in several of his projects. Father's adventures put the marriage at risk, and parents began to think about divorce. But Raja managed to settle down in time and returned to his family.
Rishi and his two brothers went to a school for boys named after Edmund Campion. After school, Kapoor entered college, which he successfully graduated from. According to official figures, Rishi's career began in 1970, but the actor took his first steps on the stage at the age of three. He appeared in the picture of his father and got a minor role in the crowd. A photo of Rishi Kapoor can be seen in this article.
The beginning of an acting career
The debut role of Rishi in the movie was a picture called "My name is Clown." The actor took part in the project, the creator of which was his own father. In it, Kapoor got the image of a circus worker in childhood. The hero appears in the arena for the last time and is constantly in the memories of the past. Rishi's father was in search of a boy who could play the role of a legendary man in his childhood, and it is not surprising that the choice fell on the middle son. Filming began in 1963.
At that time, Rishi was only eleven years old. But, despite the fact that he was too young, he was able to cope with the task without difficulty. In addition, he won the Best Actress Award. Unfortunately, the picture was not successful during the rental. The father of the actor, who spent seven years of his life creating this film and all his savings, was on the verge of ruin. To correct the aggravated situation, Raja Kapoor decided to make a new film, which was called "Bobby".
Rishi Kapoor in the movie "Bobby"
The film project "Bobby" was released in 1974. This is a story about the true love of a young man Raji from a wealthy family and a simple girl Bobby - the daughter of a local fisherman. The main role in the film went to Rishi Kapoor. During an interview in 2012, the actor had to refute rumors and suggestions that the film "Bobby" was created exclusively for him. Some also believed that with the help of this picture, Rishi's father planned to pay off his debts, but the man did not have money for the famous artist, and therefore he gave the main role to his son. No one could have imagined that the picture was expected by the stunning success and love of the viewers.
Further career in cinema and personal life
One year after the release of the film project "Bobby", Rishi Kapoor got a leading role in the film "Vicious Serpent". The film also involved a young actress Nita Singh. At that time, the girl was barely sixteen years old, but after some time she became the legal wife of Rishi. The film did not bring the desired success to the actor, but he got a great experience.
Spouse and children of the actor
At the age of twenty, Rishi Kapoor met with Nita Singh. The couple in love met for more than seven years and decided to enter into an official marriage. They were connected by the world of cinema. Nita became acquainted with the world of cinema at the age of eight. Very often, Rishi and Nita had to play the roles of lovers.
In 2009, a dramatic picture entitled “Love Yesterday and Today” appeared on the screens. This is an amazing love story where Rishi and his wife played the role of an elderly couple in love.
The spouses currently have two children. Ranbir was born in 1982 and decided to follow in his father's footsteps. Reedheim's daughter, born in 1980, connected her life with design and fashion.
