In a heartfelt revelation, Tusshar Kapoor, the son of Bollywood icons Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, has shared insights into the beautiful bond his father shares with his grandchildren, Laksshya and Ravie. The legendary actor, known for his memorable roles in films like ‘Himmatwala,’ has found unparalleled joy in his role as a grandfather, or as his grandchildren affectionately call him, “dadu” and “nanu.”
In an interview with ANI, Tusshar Kapoor candidly discussed how Jeetendra is reliving his fatherhood days through his interactions with Laksshya and Ravie. The seasoned actor, despite being well into his golden years, has embraced the role of grandfather with grace and enthusiasm.
Tusshar applauded his father’s dedication to spending quality time with the young ones. “Dad shares a close relationship with both his grandsons. Despite old age, he gives proper time to them. He often pays a visit to my son’s school, plays with them… I would say that he is reliving his fatherhood phase. He becomes extremely happy in the presence of his grandchildren,” Tusshar fondly recalled.
For the unacquainted, Tusshar Kapoor became a father to Laksshya in 2016 through surrogacy. Speaking on the dynamics within the Kapoor family, Tusshar emphasized that Jeetendra has been an integral and joyous component of Laksshya’s upbringing since day one. Similarly, Tusshar’s sister and well-known producer, Ektaa R Kapoor, embraced single motherhood and welcomed her son Ravie in 2019, also via surrogacy. Intriguingly, Ravie is named after his illustrious grandfather, Jeetendra, whose real name is Ravi Kapoor.
The Kapoor family, celebrated for their contributions to the Indian entertainment industry, has shown that traditional family roles can evolve with time. Tusshar’s reflections illustrate how familial bonds become stronger and richer with the inclusion of younger generations.

While Jeetendra basks in the bliss of grandparenthood, Tusshar, too, has been making waves in his professional life. Recently, he has earned commendations for his role in JioCinema’s ‘Dus June Kii Raat.’ Discussing his decision to participate in the project, Tusshar said, “I saw this project as an opportunity to enter the hearts of the people and impress them, through the OTT platform so I said yes to it.”
The dedication Tusshar exhibits towards his craft is reminiscent of the passion his father, Jeetendra, has demonstrated throughout his career. This unwavering dedication has clearly been passed down the generational line. Viewing the Kapoor legacy, it’s clear how family values and professional commitments interlace to create enduring impacts in both realms.
Adding to his slate of upcoming projects, Tusshar Kapoor will soon be seen sharing the screen with a star-studded cast in ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ set to hit theatres this December. The film promises to be an ensemble extravaganza, featuring prominent actors like Akshay Kumar, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Suniel Shetty, Johnny Lever, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Rahul Dev, and singers Daler Mehndi and Mika Singh. Directed by Ahmed Khan, this film is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
Beyond the glitter and glamour of their professional lives, the Kapoor family’s narrative is a heartwarming tale of love and togetherness. Jeetendra’s role as a doting grandfather captures the essence of familial happiness that many aspire to but few articulate so well.
Sources close to the Kapoor family reveal that Jeetendra relishes every moment with his grandsons. He is known to shrug off his cinematic persona in favor of simpler, more genuine interactions with Laksshya and Ravie. These moments not only bring joy to the veteran actor but also bridge a generational gap, creating cherished memories for the young boys.
Tusshar’s openness about his father’s relationship with his grandchildren provides a rare glimpse into the personal lives of one of Bollywood’s most revered families. It underscores that beyond the arc lights, and film sets, the most treasured roles are often those we hold within our homes.
In the tapestry of their lives, the Kapoor family appears to have woven an inspiring narrative, where familial bonds and professional triumphs coalesce harmoniously. With Jeetendra at the epicenter, cherishing his role as a grandfather, it’s clear that love and family continue to be the nucleus around which the Kapoor legacy revolves.
