Star families in India are analogous to royalty. Bollywood has its princes and princesses, birthday parties, extravagant weddings, and of course, scandals that send shock waves through the industry. When some B-town celebrities retire, they take up household duties and chores like the rest of us. Some, on the other hand, make adorable grandparents while continuing to stay active in the business. Here are a few of Bollywood’s most stylish grandparents who are rewriting The Princess Diaries for us:
1. Rishi Kapoor

We remember Jeetendra from movies like Farz and Himmatwala. His energetic dance moves in the movies earned him a nickname, “Jumping Jack of Bollywood”. He is the father of actor Tusshar Kapoor and the media tycoon Ekta Kapoor. Tusshar Kapoor became a single parent to a baby girl named Laksshya Kapoor through surrogacy. The photos of the grandfather Jeetendra tell us how thrilled he is with the arrival of the new member of the family.

He is the father of Bollywood celebrity, actor Hrithik Roshan. Although Hrithik Roshan recently split from his wife, he has been spending a lot of time with his two sons, and sometimes, Rakesh Roshan also tags along. From what we can tell, it sure looks fun.
Grandparents have a unique role in the growth of their grandchildren. The love of grandparents is of a different kind. Grandparents have fewer responsibilities, so they usually do their best to pamper the little ones. Some kids develop a deep connection and affectionate bond with their grandfather that they will remember forever. Interestingly, these are the parents of some of the most successful celebrities in Bollywood. So, they must have done something right. How was your relationship with your grandparents? Do your children have a similar bond with them? Tell us in the comments below.
