Rishi Kapoor

The fate of a Bollywood star was prepared for Rishi Kapoor from birth. As a representative of the famous dynasty and the second son of the legendary Raj Kapoor, the actor surpassed the popularity of his two brothers and some other relatives. Rishi received his first film award at the age of 18.

Since then, the famous Indian starred in many films, becoming famous in his youth for romantic roles, and in the middle years for character roles. In 2018, in the film "Country", the artist played a lawyer fighting to restore the honor of a Muslim family, one of whose members was convicted of terrorism. He continues to act to this day.

Rishi was born in 1952 in Bombay in the family of then only gaining worldwide popularity film director and actor Raj Kapoor and his wife Krishna. Date of birth - September 4th. Rishi became the middle of the three sons of "Indian Charlie Chaplin". In the early childhood of the boy, the relationship between the parents cooled down: his father began an affair with the actress Nargis, who starred with him in several tapes. The marriage was on the verge of collapse, but in the end, Raj Kapoor chose a family.

Together with the Rishi brothers he attended the St. Edmund Campion School for Boys. Later he entered Mayo College in Ajmer. Officially, the beginning of the film career of the middle son of Raj is 1970, but for the first time Rishi appeared on the screen when he was three years old. His father filmed him among the rest of the crowd scene in the scene with the song in the movie "Mr. 420".

Rishi's full-fledged film debut was the melodrama "My name is Clown", directed by his father. Raj, who played the role of a circus performer who gives a final performance and recalls a past life, was looking for someone who could play the main character as a child. It is logical that the choice fell on one of the sons. In 1963, when filming began, Rishi was only 11 years old. Despite his age, the young actor coped with the work so confidently that he was awarded the national award for best child role.

The story of the circus artist received 7 more prestigious film awards in India, but failed at the box office. Raj, who spent six years of his life and all his personal savings on a drama about a clown, was on the verge of ruin. To make ends meet, the director decided to stage the film "Bobby" about the love of a young man from a wealthy family and the daughter of a poor fisherman. He entrusted the main role to his son.

Refuting the version that "Bobby" was created for his sake, in a 2012 interview Rishi said that with the help of a picture about the relationship between teenagers, his father planned to pay off his debts, but he did not have money for the "star" of Rajesh Khanna. The picture was a resounding success.

The love of the audience was reinforced by the sympathy of colleagues: the film collected many awards, including the prestigious Filmfare Awards for Best Male and Best Actress. They were received respectively by 21-year-old Rishi and Dimple Kapadia, for whom the work in "Bobby" was her debut.

A year later, the actor played the main role in the drama "The Vicious Serpent". In addition to him, 16-year-old Nitu Singh was involved in the film, who six years later became the wife of Rishi. Despite the fact that the film was not very successful, it gave the artist the necessary experience and helped to gain a foothold in the industry.

Since 1975, Rishi's biography has finally been associated with cinema: every year the list of roles is replenished with 4-5 works. The young man is offered to play romantic characters. In this role, the artist appears in most films released in the 70s and 80s. Among them are films "The Avenger", "Such a Liar", "Cruel World", "Debt of Honor", "Gypsies" and others.

Since the late 1980s, Raj Kapoor's middle son has increasingly opted for characteristic supporting roles, which gives the artist the opportunity to join more projects. 1993 becomes a record year for the actor - 8 films with his participation are released.

Towards the end of the decade, Rishi will make his director and producer debut with The Book of Love and Coming Home. In subsequent years, he returned to work as an actor. In the 2000s, he starred with such Bollywood stars as Ajay Devgan, Farhan Akhtar, Rekha and others.

When Rishi was 20, he met 14-year-old Nita Singh. The couple began dating, and after 7 years they got married. Nita, like her chosen one, connected life with cinema: the girl began acting at the age of 8. Subsequently, Singh often played the lovers of the character, whose role went to Rishi. In 2009, in the melodrama Love Yesterday and Today, the couple played an elderly couple, against the background of whose story the storyline of the main characters unfolds.

The Kapoor couple have two children. Son Ranbir (born 1982) followed in his father's footsteps, and daughter Ridhima (born 1980) became a fashion designer. News about the actor's family can be found on Twitter - the artist maintains an account with about 3 million followers. The author uploads both modern and archive photos from the filming. Rishi Kapoor's height is 165 cm, weight is unknown. According to the zodiac sign, the actor is Virgo.

In 2017, the artist published a book of memoirs. In the same year he received four Indian Film Awards for his role in the romantic comedy "Kapoor and Sons". Despite the name, the plot is only about the namesakes of the acting dynasty, and not about the artists themselves.

Rishi continues to act. In addition to the scandalous "Country", in 2018 the comedy tape "102 years is not the limit" was released about a long-liver who is not going to give up a full life only because of his old age. Kapoor played the son of a restless grandpa.

Five more projects with the participation of the Indian actor are being prepared for release in 2018. Among them is the drama "Rajma Chawal", in which Kapoor played the head of the family, trying to restore relations with his son.
