Ritu Nanda was the eldest daughter of legendary actor Raj Kapoor and was married to Escorts Group Chairman Rajan Nanda, who passed away in 2018. Their son Nikhil Nanda got married to Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan in 1997.

Ritu Nanda was diagnosed with cancer a few years back. For those unaware, the second of Raj and Krishna Kapoor's five children, Ritu was born on October 30, 1948. Unlike her three brothers -- Randhir, Rishi, and Rajiv -- she did not venture into acting and instead worked as an insurance advisor.

She entered the Guinness Book of Records for selling 17,000 pension policies in a single day. She was also the recipient of the Brand and the Best Insurance Advisor of the Decade awards from the Life Insurance Corporation of India, the largest life insurance company in India. Nanda is also known for writing books on her filmmaker father.
