Sonam and Ranbir cousind

Everybody on the forum are hoping that Ranbir and Sonam make a "real" life pair too. But aren't they cousins ? I thought Anil , Boney and Rishi, Randhir and Rajeev Kapoor are first cousins.

no anil kapoor is not at all related wid them ranbir just told once tat he n sonam r satellite cousin

no they are not related....the onli connection they have is their last name...but they are not related in any way...itz 2 different families... 😊

There is actually some very far relation between the 2!

"Surinder Kapoor is also related to the main Kapoor family. His sons have acted and produced in the industry. Producer Boney Kapoor is married to actress Sridevi. Anil Kapoor's daughter, Sonam will make her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film."

No they are not related by blood...ranbir said it in one of his interview and probably anil also (if i find that again i shall post).

For now here is one:
The newest Kapoor in the town, to be making their mark soon in a big way, are Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. While it is difficult to gauge there talent at this stage, but after the release of promos of their debut film SAAWARIYA, it's clear that they are the most awaited star kids to be launched this year.

Their debut is one of the most talked about in recent times and all eyes will be on Ranbir Kapoor - the son of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor - daughter of another superstar Anil Kapoor. Expectations are running high especially because they are launched by one of the finest film maker of Bollywood, Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

With this new pair it seems Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to present one more hit couple to the industry. The biggest buzz in bollywood is now that, will Ranbir and Sonam live up to the legacy of their families. Ranbir Kapoor - The name is borrowed from his grand father Raj Kapoor. Raj Kpoor's full name was RanbirRaj Kapoor. According to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ranbir carries the charisma of both his father and grand father.

"I know he is in very capable hands. But then you never know. I just pray to God that he can live up to the expectations. Fingers and everything crossed," says Rishi Kapoor.

Ranbir has to fit in and carry on the legacy of Kapoors which began with Prithviraj Kapoor in the 1930's. Second generation of Kapoors - Raj, Shammi and Sashi were also a suucesfull stars. Raj Kapoor is also known as the biggest showman and the finest film maker of India. Even Randhir and Rajeev of third generation were not so successful but Rishi Kapoor was defiantly the most popular romantic hero of his era.

Ranbir will represent fourth generation of the first family of Bollywood although Karishma and Kareena Kapoor are already there but he will be the first male of fourth generation. On Ranbir the industry is looking as next super star, that's why he is been signed by big film makers like Yash Chopra and Raj Kumar Hirani well before the release of his first film.

On the other hand most probably Sonam Kapoor will be the first heroin in film industry whose father Anil Kapoor is still playing lead hero roles in the movie. Bhansali calls her the combination of Rekha and Wahida Rehman and industry watchers are already comparing her with the Dimple Kapadia of Bobby (1973).

Anil Kapoor is delighted at the attention she is getting. "I was pleasantly surprised by her performance when I saw the rushes of Saawariya.

Sonam also has to carry the legacy of another Kapoor Family which is also in film industry for more than 40 years. Her grand father Surinder Kapoor and her uncle Boney Kapoor are well known film makers of India. Sonam will be the first lady of the family to enter in industry. Earlier Sonam was interested in film making and that's why she started as assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Black but Bhansali found that innocence and purity in Sonam which was required for SAAWARIYA.

Now the debut film of both Kapoor kids is ready to release on Diwali, expectations are running very high. Not only Sanjay Leela Bhansali but families of both Ranbir and Sonam are crossing their fingers and hoping for the best.

Here is a little portion of another interview:

Rishi Kapoor was your colleague. Now both of you share anxieties as expectant fathers.
Yes. We go back a long way. Not that we meet every day, but we've always been very close. My mother and Rishi's mother (Krishna) have been friends for over 50 years. Not a single day goes by without their interaction. The two families share a really deep bond.

Here is another one:

Rajeev Masand: Then of course, your director cast Sonam Kapoor as your co-star. She was also another assistant like you on the sets of Black. Were you childhood friends since your parents knew each other?

Ranbir Kapoor: Yes, yes we knew each other very well. My grandfather knew her grandfather and then our parents were very good friends. You know we used to joke and call each other satellite cousins because we aren't related but our families are so close.

I have known Sonam since childhood, we have gone for film shootings together. I don't recall family holidays but shoots were like family holidays for us. So, working with Sonam is like working with someone from my family.

I love her to death and I think she is a wonderful co-star. She is an amazing actress and her dedication matches her father's passion for acting, which everyone is aware of. So, I feel blessed that I had Mr Bhansali and Sonam to begin with. Everything was so perfect.

Yes. Boney Kapoor is Anil Kapoor's elder brother and Sri devi's husband.

Surinder Kapoor is cousin of Prithviraj Kapoor and that is why his family was looked after by Kapoor Khandan.

Surinder Kapoor is Sonam grandfather.

Prithviraj Kapoor is Ranbir's great-grandfather.

So they are related but far. So satellite cousins😃.

In fact Krishna Kapoor is Raj Kapoor's bua (father's second cousin). But he got married to her. 😊

In 1946, at the age of twenty-two, Raj Kapoor was wed to Krishna Malhotra belonging to Jabalpur in a traditional family-arranged wedding. Krishna was Raj Kapoor's first cousin once removed, being his father's maternal uncle's daughter.
