My first Secret Santa present!
My Santa is off with a bang!
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:
first and second generations: Prithviraj Kapoor (born 1906) is the father of Raj (Ranbir Raj, born 1924), Shammi (Shamsher Raj, 1931), and Shashi (Balbir Raj, 1938). Prithviraj and his wife Ramsarni (Rama) also had a daughter, Urmi (between Shammi and Shashi), and two children who died, Ravinder and Devinder.Prithviraj has a brother named Trilok Kapoor, who is a film actor too.

Take me, Shashi, take me! I won't sing of some mopey dope while being embraced by your hotness!
Clearly she has in fact been Shashified. Lack of breathing is Stage 1.
Amrita, Rakhee is probably mopey because she knows of Shashi's prozac abuse and is dreading having to face his extreme cheerfulness in the morning? Not that would ever faze ME, but then I would NEVER fall for AB (especially when he sings in Mukhesh's voice), in the first place! ;-)
I keep watching this scene over and over and over and over.
Yummmmm!
I like the extreme cheerfulness. More people should be like that in the morning, but double plus if you just hit the gold mine as far as arranged marriages are concerned.
Obviously your Santa rocks!
Erin - You will be famous for that line! I liked Shashi a lot before having seen this movie, but this particular scene made me just staaaaaaaaaare. You should watch Sharmilee as well for an earlier incarnation of it (also with Rakhee - hmm, maybe that's why she's my favorite pair for him).
San - :) And I love the first thing you got from your Santa! The last time I watched Taal (which I love), I had to go through that song very carefully to find him.
Anarchavist - Hee! I think it's going to be a GREAT week.
