Veteran actress Zeenat Aman, known for her iconic presence in Bollywood during the golden era, recently opened up about her long-standing connection with the legendary Kapoor family — a name synonymous with Indian cinema. While today’s generation may associate the Kapoor surname with stars like Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Ranbir Kapoor, Zeenat was part of the film industry when an earlier generation of Kapoors was at the forefront.
In her reflections, Zeenat shared that her professional journey had intertwined with the Kapoor family long before the current crop of actors made their debut. “Long before the likes of Karisma, Kareena, and Ranbir graced the silver screen,” she said, “there were other stalwarts from the Kapoor clan with whom I had the privilege to work.”
Zeenat fondly recalled her collaborations with the earlier members of the Kapoor family, a dynasty that has contributed immensely to shaping Bollywood’s legacy. She emphasized how the Kapoor name has always stood for talent, commitment, and cinematic excellence, transcending generations.
She noted that each generation of Kapoors has brought its own unique charm and flair to Indian cinema. “Whether it was Prithviraj Kapoor setting the foundation, Raj Kapoor redefining storytelling, or Rishi Kapoor lighting up screens with his charisma — every Kapoor has left an indelible mark.”
The actress also expressed admiration for the current generation, adding that while times have changed and the industry has evolved, the Kapoor family’s passion for the craft has remained constant. She acknowledged Karisma’s grace, Kareena’s versatility, and Ranbir’s effortless talent as examples of how the Kapoor legacy continues to thrive.
Zeenat’s comments serve as a poignant reminder of Bollywood’s rich heritage and how relationships in the industry span decades. Her words not only highlight the continuity of talent in the Kapoor family but also underscore her deep respect and affection for the people she has worked with over the years.
