Raj Kapoor, was known for Bollywood classics like Shree 420, Awara, and Mera Naam Joker, as well as his legendary Holi parties filled with music, dance, and color.
His daughter-in-law Neetu Kapoor once shared nostalgic moments from those celebrations on Instagram.

Sharing a video from one such wild party, Neetu wrote, “When we were complete when there was love warmth. Happy Holi.”
The video opens with men being playfully tossed into a pool of colored water, followed by glimpses of Raj Kapoor relaxing with his family. His wife, Krishna Raj Kapoor, and Shammi Kapoor’s wife, Neila Devi, are also seen. Neetu, dressed in a white kurta, holds little Ranbir Kapoor on her lap, while Rishi Kapoor enjoys dancing. Raj and Shammi share a hearty laugh, and at one point, Raj joins in the dance.
In the video’s voiceover, Raj Kapoor shares that white is his favorite color and recalls a moment when he wished to speak to a woman but couldn’t.
As soon as the video was shared online, likes and comments poured in from all sides. While one fan wrote, ‘Beautiful memories’, another one added, ‘I yet remember as a child… During Ganesh Chaturthi festival… waiting for Raj Kapoor’s Ganesh ji passing Dadar Parsi Colony’.
