Meet Kapoor family member, uncle of Kareena Kapoor, grandson of…, worked in many TV shows, his name is…
Whenever we think of the Kapoor family of Bollywood, Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor come to mind first. These artists strengthened the foundation of Hindi cinema. This actor made his mark on TV, the son of Urmila Siyal. Urmila is the daughter of Prithviraj Kapoor and the only sister of Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor. She started her career in showbiz as an assistant director. She worked with her uncle Shashi Kapoor on the 1990 film 'Ajoobaa', which starred Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia in lead roles. Still couldn't guess which Kapoor member we are talking about?
It is none other than Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor. He first entered the glamour world in the 90s. After working as an assistant director, he worked as an actor in television shows like 'Tahqiqat', 'Vansh', 'Rishtey' and 'Saans'. After this, Jatin Sial made his debut in Hindi cinema with the film 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' directed by Rishi Kapoor, in which Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Khanna played the lead roles. Jatin was very excited about his first film.
Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor recently told Free Press Journal, ''Aa Ab Laut Chalen' was one of the most interesting parts of my life. Again, I approached Chintuji (Rishi Kapoor) because I had become an actor. Even though he was my cousin and I was friendly with him, I took the appointment through his secretary.'
Jatin Sial told that Rishi Kapoor suddenly asked him to go to America one day. He was hiring him as an assistant for films. He agreed. But then he made him work as an actor. Jatin also talked about his television career. Jatin Sial said that companies used to cast him in their projects again and again. Jatin said, 'I got a call from Neena Gupta's office to work in 'Saans' (1998-99). It was a very successful show, and after this, I got a lot of work.'
Jatin Sial further said, 'I just did a lot of TV shows and never went into films. Whatever company I worked for, they always repeated me in their other serials or extended the role.' Jatin said that after 2000, production houses started paying more attention to the fees of the actors rather than their creativity.
Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor said that because of this, it became difficult for him to get work on TV. Jatin said, 'At that time in TV, I would say they had become a little casual towards actors. It was based on how much the actors would charge, rather than their creativity. So I decided to step back then, waiting for something better to come.' Currently, Jatin has made a comeback with OTT projects. He worked in series like 'Ramayug', 'Mismatched' and 'Potluck'.

Kapil Sharma Recalls Gate-Crashing A Wedding, Meeting Zeenat Aman With Plate In Hand
Mumbai: Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma once gate-crashed a wedding. On top of it, fate helped him, as he met Zeenat Aman at the wedding. A recently resurfaced video from Kapil's show features him narrating the story to veteran actresses Zeenat Aman and Poonam Dhillon. During the episode, Kapil told Zeenat Aman, 'It was in 2003 or 2004. I was in Delhi. My father was undergoing treatment there. One of my friends told me to come to the wedding function quickly saying, 'There are a lot of people here'. There was a wedding in Maurya in Delhi. Vandana Luthra, the daughter of the family who are into cosmetic business'. He further mentioned, as he pointed towards the actress, 'You went there. I didn't even understand, I was studying in college, and was very naive. I had a plate in my hand. I wanted to take a photo. Zeenat asked me to keep the plate down. I didn't know that it was considered ill-manner to take a photo with a plate. You were a guest there. I went there as an unauthorized guest'.

The senior actress took to her Instagram, and shared a clip from her film 'Hum Kisise Kum Naheen'. The actress narrated the story behind her only scene in the film. She also penned a long in the caption, as she wrote, 'Oh, you're a Hindi cinema buff but you've never heard this song? That, my dear, is probably because you are very young. Play it for your parents, and they'll immediately be able to place it. Here's the truth, of all the men I worked with from the Kapoor khandan, Rishi and I interacted the least both socially and professionally. In fact, in all the years that our careers overlapped, we only featured together in this one song. That too because Director Nasir Hussain had me pinned as a bit of a lucky talisman that year. Why? Because 'Yaadon ki Baaraat', his previous film in which I had starred, had been a blockbuster hit'.
