A wave of nostalgia swept over Bollywood fans this Saturday when actor Tusshar Kapoor posted a precious vintage photograph on his social media. The image, a beautiful snapshot from the past, features his father, the legendary actor Jeetendra, alongside the iconic Dream Girl, Hema Malini.
A Glimpse into Bollywood's Golden Era
The picture appears to have been taken on a film set, likely during a break in shooting. Tusshar Kapoor suggested in his caption that the photo is from the late 1970s, capturing a candid moment from one of his father's many movies. In the frame, a young Jeetendra is seated with his two small children, Ekta and Tusshar, perched on his lap. Hema Malini stands beside them, her gaze filled with evident warmth and affection as she looks at the family.
Tusshar accompanied the image with a simple yet evocative caption: "#majorthrowback visiting dad on set." This single line perfectly encapsulates the personal and professional history embedded in the photograph, connecting his own childhood memories with his father's illustrious film career.
The Kapoor Family Legacy: Stalwarts and Strong Bonds
The throwback photo also shines a light on the remarkable legacy of Jeetendra, now in his late 80s. He is the proud father of two highly successful children in the entertainment industry: powerhouse producer Ekta Kapoor and actor Tusshar Kapoor. While both have chosen not to marry, they are devoted parents. Each has welcomed two sons via surrogacy, embracing modern family-building paths.
The sibling bond between Ekta and Tusshar is famously close and supportive. This was highlighted beautifully just a few months ago on Tusshar's birthday. Ekta took to social media to pen a heartfelt tribute to her brother, calling him her "guide and support."
A Sister's Heartfelt Birthday Wish
To celebrate Tusshar, Ekta Kapoor shared a touching video montage of their cherished memories together. She set it to the romantic track 'Rabba Mere Rabba' from Tusshar's debut film, 'Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai' (2001). Her caption overflowed with love: "Happy birthday to the best boy, I know! You are my guide, you're my support! May you get everything you want in life! Loveeeeee uuuuuuuuuuuu."
This public display of affection underscores the deep emotional connection that complements their professional lives. The viral throwback photo shared by Tusshar is more than just a memory; it's a testament to enduring family ties, a legendary film career, and the simple, warm moments that define life both on and off the Bollywood set.
