 Her younger sister, Kareena, is also a film actress. Her paternal grandfather was the actor and
filmmaker Raj Kapoor, while her maternal grandfather was actor Hari Shivdasani. Her paternal great-
grandfather was actor Prithviraj Kapoor. The actors Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor are her uncles, while the
actress Neetu Singh and entrepreneur Ritu Nanda are her aunts. Her first cousins includes the
actors Ranbir Kapoor, Armaan Jain and Aadar Jain, and Nikhil Nanda. The
actors Shammi and Shashi are her grand-uncles, and the late actress Sadhana was her mother's
first cousin. Kapoor is informally called as "Lolo" at her home. According to Kapoor, the name, Lolo,
was derived after her mother made a passing reference to the Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida.

 Both of her paternal and maternal grandparents were
from Peshawar, Lyallpur and Karachi respectively, who moved to Bombay for their film careers
before the partition of India.[citation needed] Kapoor is of Punjabi Hindu descent on her father's side, and on
her mother's side she is of Sindhi Hindu and British descent.[1][7][8]
Particularly inspired by the work of actresses Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, Kapoor was keen on
pursuing acting since childhood. While growing up, Kapoor regularly attended award ceremonies
and accompanied by her parents to film sets.[9][10] However, despite her family background, her father
disapproved of women working in films, because he believed it conflicted with the traditional
maternal duties and responsibility of women in the family. [11][12] This led to a conflict between her
parents and they separated in 1988. She and her sister Kareena were raised by their mother, who
worked several jobs to raise them, until she made her debut in films as an actress. [13] The couple
reconciled in 2007, after living separately for several years.[14][15] Kapoor studied at the Cathedral and
John Connon School and later, for a few months at Sophia College. Kapoor later said that she left
college to pursue acting for financial support. [16]

1991–1996: Early roles and debut


Kapoor made her acting debut in 1991 at the age of sixteen and a half with the romantic
drama Prem Qaidi, opposite debutant Harish Kumar. Upon release, the film emerged as a moderate
box office success and received mixed reviews from critics, as did Kapoor's performance, with Taran
Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama describing it as "mechanical".[17] The following year, Kapoor's first five
releases—Police Officer, Jaagruti, Nishchaiy, Sapne Sajan Ke and Deedar—flopped at the box
office. Jaagruti and Nishchaiy marked her first two collaborations with Salman Khan,
while Deedar marked her first collaboration with Akshay Kumar. She next starred in the action
drama Jigar (1992), followed by the romantic drama Anari (1993), both of which emerged as box
office hits and among the highest-grossing films of their respective years. Jigar marked Kapoor's first
of several collaborations with Ajay Devgn, while Anari featured her in the leading role of Rajnandini,
a princess who falls in love with her poor servant (played by Daggubati Venkatesh).
Kapoor's next four releases of 1993 were the dramas Muqabla (which marked first of her many
collaborations with Govinda), Sangraam, Shaktiman and Dhanwaan. With the exception of Muqabla,
none of these films perform

Dragon Booster. Artha seeks to protect the world from the impending Dragon-Human war by
