The haveli of Rishi Kapoor’s ancestors is located in Qissa Khwani Bazar and was built by his great-grandfather, Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor who was the father of Prithviraj Kapoor and grandfather of Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor. The family shifted to India in the 1930s and completely after the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
