His father Pankaj Kapur is an accomplished actor, while mother Neelima Azeem has been a respected dancer for several years, occasionally also dabbling in acting. While Pankaj Kapur has several critically acclaimed films to his credit, in the 1980s, he became a household name through the TV series Karamchand, a comedy television series in the detective genre.
