The Kapoor family recently came together in Delhi to meet our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The occasion marked the beginning of the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of the iconic Raj Kapoor, whose influence on Indian cinema remains timeless.
On Wednesday, the Kapoor family members shared photos of their memorable day on social media. The group photo, now making waves online, featured PM Modi alongside some of Bollywood’s most renowned faces—Neetu Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and her husband Bharat Sahni, Rima Jain, Manoj Jain, and their children Armaan, Aadar, and Aadar’s wife, Anissa Malhotra.
