Shashi Week: our dil goes mmm....
Enough chatter. Zeenat is ready for a Saturday pyaar party.
How you doin'?
the Kapoor family tree
For all your Kapoor Khazana reference needs (and beyond), here is a Kapoor family tree. This image is courtesy of Madhu Jain's book The Kapoors: The First Family of Indian Cinema(Penguin Books India, 2005). Click the picture to enlarge to legible size.
The dates and underlining are my own. My notations indicate who is of what generation: double underlines are for Prithviraj's children; single underlines are for their children; dashed lines for their children; etc.
If you'd rather read, the family tree goes like this, color-coded by major branch and with the names you probably recognize in bold:

FAB post. My dil certainly goes mmm... after seeing this. :-)
veracious - Somehow in all my riffling through my screencaps this week, I'd never noticed that one before. It had to be included!
Anarchvaist - Yes, that's one of my favorites too, even though I know I'm projecting my prior knowledge of Shashi role types on to poor Rakhee's basically unknown situation. But yeah, I love how she seems quite anxious on wedding night and in the morning she's just as happy as he is. The third-from-bottom photo of them is from that morning. I love that they're having fun, it's just so cute. I did have some screen caps of the night before, but despite him looking 110% scrumptious and romantic, she looks so unhappy that it just seemed creepy to include them on a post about luuuurve.
