Shashi Kapoor’s children

 

 A legacy carried forward with quiet dignity 🌿

Shashi Kapoor’s children—Kunal, Karan and Sanjana Kapoor—may have stepped away from the glare of mainstream stardom, but each has carved a meaningful path rooted in creativity, culture and individuality. Born to the legendary Shashi Kapoor and the graceful Jennifer Kendal, they inherited not just talent, but a deep respect for the arts.

Kunal Kapoor, the eldest, began his journey as an actor with memorable films like Junoon and Aahista Aahista. Yet, listening to his inner calling, he transitioned into the world of advertising, where he found lasting success. As the founder of Adfilm-Valas, Kunal became a respected name behind the camera, directing numerous iconic commercials.

Karan Kapoor, once the face of the iconic Bombay Dyeing ads and a popular model of the 1980s, also acted briefly before choosing a quieter, more personal creative life. Today, he is a successful photographer based in London, capturing stories through his lens rather than the silver screen.

Sanjana Kapoor, the youngest, became the torchbearer of the family’s theatrical soul. As the longtime custodian of Mumbai’s beloved Prithvi Theatre, she nurtured stage art, dialogue and performance, keeping alive the Kapoor-Kendal legacy of meaningful storytelling.

Together, they remind us that legacy is not only about fame—but about staying true to one’s passion and purpose.
