Rajiv Kapoor (born 25 August
1962) is an Indian film actor, producer, director and a member of the famous
Kapoor Family.
He had a short stint in the
Hindi film industry, acting in only 13 films. He was not as successful
as his other brothers Randhir and Rishi, but he is noted for his role in
Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985) starring opposite Mandakini which was one of
the biggest hits of the year. He acted in a string of other unsuccessful
films and made his last film appearance in Zimmedaar which released in
1990. He then turned to producing and directing. He produced Henna (1991)
which was directed by his brother Randhir and then made his directorial
debut with PremGranth (1996) which starred his brother Rishi and Madhuri
Dixit. After that film became a "disaster" at the box office, he didn't
direct again.
In 1999 he produced Aa Ab
Laut Chalen which was directed by his brother Rishi. Since then he has
not been active in film producing or directing. In 2001, he married an
architect Aarti Sabharal, but the marriage ended in divorce two years later.
He is currently attending Nipissing University.
