Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor recently remembered his late father, film producer-director Surinder Kapoor. The ‘Dil Dhadakane Do’ actor took to his social media on Surinder’s birth anniversary and shared two throwback pictures of his “dearest father”.
In one of the pictures, Surinder Kapoor is seen interacting with megastar Dilip Kumar during an event.
Anil also put a sweet caption for the post, which is being admired by everyone. Anil noted in the caption that the warm look carried by late Dilip Kumar in his eyes for Surinder Kapoor proves how much the latter was loved and respected as a human being in the film industry.
“When the great Dilip Kumar looks with so much warmth and love in his eyes for my father who was just an assistant in Mughal e Azam shows how much my dad was loved and respected as a human being,” the actor captioned the pictures.

For almost as long as there has been Bollywood, there has been a Kapoor involved in a major way. The seemingly never-ending dynasty that has ruled Bollywood forever started with the greatest actor of his day Prithviraj Kapoor, was extended sideways by his distant cousin and long-time film producer Surinder Kapoor and continues to this day with such disparate names as Armaan Jain, Sara Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja.
In between, there are no lack of star-studded names: Raj Kapoor, Boney Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan (yes to name drop too). Each has evolved their own style in their own time and in doing so has moulded Bollywood around them in both big and small ways. Yet, what has always been constant has been the power that they have delivered to Bollywood music through the ages, each performance creating a legend. So here we look at the...
