Kapoors Vs. Bachchans- First Family of Bollywood?

The media has often cited the Bachchans to be the first family of Bollywood. For some reason, i don't really understand why. Is it just because Amitabh Bachchan is the head of the family. Even before Aishwarya became a part of their family, Big B, Ab Jr, and Jaya were considered the first family for some reason.
For me, the real FIRST family of Bollywood is the Kapoors. They were the ones who have actually been starring in movies from the start of Bollywood and up till now. Generations and Generations of Kapoors have contributed to Bollywood. Prithviraj Kapoor (Mughal-e- Azam), Raj Kapoor (the original showman), Rishi Kapoor ( superstar of the 70's and 80's), Shammi Kapoor ( Teesri Manzil), Sashi Kapoor ( Deewar), Randhir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor (the first girl in the history of Kapoor's to enter Bollywood and become a superstar), and Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor represent the Kapoors today.

It's actually funny that a film industry has "families". I guess it is a film fraternity. But, who do you think is the First Family of Bollywood? Bachchans or Kapoors?

Kapoor's it's no

Kapoor's it's no comparasion!

 

Kapoors for sure. First

Kapoors for sure. First family means the people who have been there from the start and the kapoors have been in the industry far longer than the bachans.

 

bachans

kapoor! if no amitabh then

kapoor! if no amitabh then there aint no bacchan mania anyways!

 

Both can be termed first

Both can be termed first families actually! amitabh's daughter Shweta married to Rahul Nanda who belongs to the Kapoor khandaan...so they are all one BIG happy family!!!

 

kapoors offcourse

kapoors offcourse

 

Look at the kapoors plenty

Look at the kapoors plenty of them came and fade. Look at Amitabh, he is almost older than most of them but he still hold the key to bollywood. We the African's really love the Bachans, to even make it worse Aish also join the BACHANS. Unique family

 

Stop comparism, Bachans,

Stop comparism, Bachans, nation wide coverge, Aishwarwa, Bollywood diva, Ashawarya, International diva, Ride now only Kareena is helping the name of the kapoors but only in Mumbai not bollywood cos Aish is always around to kick her down, upon her beign 36, Married woman but still giving the kapoors the toughest of all time. Bachans oh bachan. Still moving at the right direction.

 

The kapoors are the root of

The kapoors are the root of the film industry, but couldn't over shadow the Bachan, Aishwarya alone is ok for them. Ride now only kareena is riding high but if she gets married, she will be no where to find. Bachans all the way.

common man Raj Kapoor's fans still have his posters in Russia

 

kapoor ofcourse and the

kapoor ofcourse and the queen kareena will take it further....... wohoooooo to the beautiful kareena

 

which kapoor including raj

which kapoor including raj or prithviraj kapoor will be made brand ambassador of two states? amitabh is a national icon. kapoors are not. amitabh alone is bigger than all the kapoors. abhishek's show got the highest trps. can ranbir or kareena? aishwarya was in pink panther she's most famous indian actress worldwide.....not kareena or any kapoor. jaya bachchan was national award winner and filmfare award winner also back when they used to count. Bachchans are so far ahead of the kapoor is every way.

 

Bachchans ofcourse. Amitabh

Bachchans ofcourse. Amitabh alone is enough to create this impact. His presence is equivalent to 100 people in Kapoor family.

 

Not many ppl noe this but

Not many ppl noe this but Amitabh Bachchan actually made it BIG because of Jaya Bachchan (Badhuri at first) - She was a star in her time, much before Big B came and she helped me gain a place in the industry... after tht of course, he went on to become a big star n the rest is history.. But other than Big B, Jaya B and ash (who recently became a bachchan) - there's noone else in the family to go "WOW" abt. I like abhishek but he has still yet to reach where he should. Compared to this, the kapoors have done GREAT, each n everyone of them for 6-7 generations - So no doubt, Kapoors!

 

kapoors!!! no comparison...

kapoors!!! no comparison...

 

kapoors of course

kapoors of course ...especially when we think of worlwide known awara hoon ...raj kapoor s great movie I am from Turkey and never heard of about any of tthe bachchans mentinoned above but I have heard about raj kappor and kapoor family

no doubt. the kapoors.

no doubt. the kapoors.

 

THE KAPOORS FOR SURE

THE KAPOORS FOR SURE

 

The kapoors have always been

The kapoors have always been considered the "first family" of bollywood, specially as they kind of started the industry and have remained at the top till date.
Its just that now with the abhi-ash wedding the bachahns are in the limelight that some people think differently.
But people should realise that in the kapoors it was each generation carrying the "kapoor blood" that has done well, ash doesn't have the bachahn blood so technically her doing well doesn't count, for that generation it is abhishek that needs to be considered and then his kid if it joins the industry, and I think kareena has made it to being a bigger star than abhi and even ranbir will most likely do better, he's had a great start already.

So conclusion, KAPOORS still win! :)

 

hmm talents of: prithviraj

hmm talents of:
prithviraj kapoor, raj kapoor, shammi kapoor, shashi kapoor, randhir kapoor, rajiv kapoor (ok less so but RTGM was good), rishi kapoor, neetu singh, babita, karisma kapoor, kareena kapoor, ranbir kapoor, susane/jenifer (shashi's daughter runnin the theatre)

VS

amitabh bachchan, jaya bachchan, abhishek bachchan and aishwarya rai bachchan (LMAO)

not really a competition there is there to the first fam ie kapoors who practiclly built the industry n kept it goin thru the yrs

n i may hv missed sme kapoors out theres so many of em

 

They are the original

They are the original "moviewalas". I doubt that in any language in the world there is another family like Kapoors when it comes to loyalty to cinema and so many actors in one family. Not just the Bachchans, they cannot be compared to any other acting family in any country.
