About the Kapoor Haveli

The Kapoor Haveli is a residential building in the modern-day Pakistani city of Peshawar. This enormous building was designed by Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor, father of Prithviraj Kapoor, between 1918 and 1922, before India and Pakistan's partition. Raj Kapoor, the son of famous Prithviraj Kapoor, was born in the Kapoor Haveli in 1924. Following the Partition in 1947, the Kapoor family left Peshawar and ownership of the building passed through several hands. The multi-storey house has approximately 40 rooms and its front is decorated with beautiful floral motifs and overhanging balconies. However, several front parts of the haveli have started to crumble.

Before the passing away Rishi Kapoor, the actor reportedly had a word with Pakistan's Interior Minister Shehryar Khan Afridi in 2018. During the conversation, he revealed that Rishi had called him about making his ancestral home into a museum. To which they have responded positively to his request. As reported, IMGC Global Entertainment in Pakistan has now converted the Kapoor Haveli into a museum with the support of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government.
