The Kapoor family[14][15] is a prominent Indian show business family with at least 4 generations of the family over 95 years being active in the Hindi film industry.[16][14] Numerous members of the family, both biological and those who have married into the family, have had prolific careers as actors, film directors and producers.[16][14][17] "The Pioneer" founder of the dynasty was "The Patriarch", Prithviraj Kapoor,[16][18][17][19] who was the first member of family to begin acting in movies with his 1929 debut film Be Dhari Talwar.[20] He was a pioneer of Indian theatre and the founding member of Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA).[15][21] His son Raj Kapoor was the most influential actor and director in Hindi cinema.[14][15] The genesis generation or the earliest linear generation of the Kapoor family tree to ever act in the films was Prithviraj Kapoor's father, Basheshwarnath Kapoor, who debuted as actor in 1951 film Awaara, which was produced, directed and starred in lead role by his grandson Raj Kapoor.[18][17][22]
Due to their decades old participation in the Hindi film industry, the family is often called "The First Family of Bollywood".[14][17][16]
