KAPOOR Khandaan is called the First family of Bollywood, not for nothing !
Starting with Prithwiraj Kapoor till Kareena and Ranbir, all through the generations, they have been shining in the film industry. This is not just because they belonged to the Kapoor khandaan. In film industry, particularly in the acting field, one can not survive for long, if one has no talent or if he is not doing hard work. One’ s ancestry alone is not acceptable to the Indian audience. This has been proved time and again. For example, Raaj kumar, Raj Babbar, Rajendra Kumar or Shashi Kapoor were successful actors, but what happened to their sons ?

When Kidar Sharma wrote the lyrics of the song so jaa rajkumari so jaa, he might not have been aware that he wrote the first lori (lullaby) song for a Hindi film. Another thing he did differently was that he wrote the lori lyrics for a male singer-actor (K L Saigal) whereas the lori is traditionally sung by women. This could happen because, as he said in his autobiography ‘The One and Lonely Kidar Sharma’ (2002), he had in fact written a lori ‘so jaa raj dulari so jaa, so jaa main balihaari so jaa’ especially for his wife Raj Dulari. But K L Saigal fell in love with it and pressurised Kidar Sharma to make it public. It was only after his wife agreed that Kidar Sharma consented to use this lori for the film ‘Zindagi” (1940) by changing ‘raj dulari’ to ‘rajkumari’. This lori sung by K L Saigal became very popular all over India.
