The Kapoor family is of Punjabi Hindu origin, belonging to the Kapoor Gotra of Khatri community.

Prithviraj Kapoor was the first from the family to pursue a career in films. His ancestral origins were in Samundri, Lyallpur District, Faisalabad, Punjab Province of British India. His father, Basheshwarnath Kapoor, served as a police officer in the Imperial Police in the city of Peshawar;{{Cite web |url=http://www.statsvet.su.se/publikationer/ahmed/artiklar_2006/41_prithviraj_kapoor.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505125639/http://www.statsvet.su.se/publikationer/ahmed/artiklar_2006/41_prithviraj_kapoor.htm |title=Prithviraj Kapoor: A centenary tribute – Daily Times, Tuesday, November 07, 2006 |archive-date=5 May 2009 |url-status=dead}} while his grandfather, Keshavmal Kapoor, was a Tehsildar in Samundri.{{Cite web|url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2006/feb/02slide1.htm|title=rediff.com: Bollywood's First Family|website=specials.rediff.com}} His younger brother, Trilok Kapoor also became an actor; with his first role in the film Char Darvesh in 1933, Trilok emerged as one of the most commercially successful actors of his era.

The family eventually migrated to Mumbai. Three of Prithviraj Kapoor's sons, Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor made careers in the Hindi film industry. Raj Kapoor, also known as "the greatest showman of Indian cinema",{{cite web |title=14th December 1924: Raj Kapoor, Indian actors and directors, was born |url=http://www.mapsofindia.com/on-this-day/14th-december-1924-raj-kapoor-indian-actor-and-director-was-born |publisher=mapsofindia.com |date=18 February 2016}} became a noted Indian film actor, producer and director of Hindi cinema.{{cite web |title=Raj Kapoor and the Golden Age of Indian Cinema |url=http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/films/2012julsep/kapoor.html |publisher=hcl.harvard.edu |date=19 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118195005/http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/films/2012julsep/kapoor.html |archive-date=18 January 2018 |url-status=dead}}

Raj Kapoor married Krishna Malhotra in 1946.

Shashi Kapoor married Jennifer Kendal in 1958. They have two sons, Kunal Kapoor, Karan Kapoor and a daughter Sanjana Kapoor, all of them former actors in Hindi cinema. Jennifer died in 1984 from cancer.

Raj Kapoor's sons, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, went on to become well-known actors; his youngest son, Rajiv Kapoor, was not as successful as his brothers. Shashi Kapoor's children were unsuccessful in acting because of their European looks. His daughter, Sanjana Kapoor, ran the Prithvi Theatre from 1993{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mag/2005/12/18/stories/2005121800240500.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090110153441/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mag/2005/12/18/stories/2005121800240500.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 January 2009 |title=High drama in Prithvi Theatre |newspaper=The Hindu |date=18 December 2005}} to February 2012, his elder son, Kunal Kapoor, runs an ad company, and Shashi's youngest child, Karan Kapoor, currently runs a photography company in London. Shammi Kapoor's son, Aditya Raj Kapoor, is an Indian actor, filmmaker, and retired businessman and his daughter Kanchan Kapoor is married to Ketan Desai, the son of Manmohan Desai.

His oldest son is Boney Kapoor who was married to Mona Shourie and then to Sridevi and is the father of Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi, and Khushi. His middle son is Anil Kapoor who is married to Sunita Kapoor and is the father of Sonam (married to Anand Ahuja), Rhea (married to Karan Boolani) and Harshvardhan Kapoor. His youngest son is Sanjay Kapoor who is married to Maheep Sandhu and is the father of Shanaya and Jahaan Kapoor. His daughter is Reena Kapoor Marwah who is married to Sandeep Marwah of Marwah Films and Video Studios and is the mother of Mohit (married to Antara Motiwala) and Akshay Marwah (married to Aashita Relan).

Noted actor Kamal Kapoor, who was famous for playing the role 'Narrang' in the 1978 blockbuster movie Don was the maternal first cousin of Prithviraj Kapoor (their mothers were sisters) and so were his brothers Nandkishore Kapoor and Ravindra Kapoor. Kamal Kapoor had five children including Kapil Kapoor and Madhu Behl who married Ramesh Behl. Madhu and Ramesh Behl's son is Goldie Behl, who is married to actress Sonali Bendre, thus the Behl family is related to the Kapoor family by marriage.

Veteran character actor Subbiraj was the son of Kailash Kakkar, the sister of Prithviraj Kapoor and thus a first cousin of Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor. His wife was Kumari Naaz.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Raj, Shashi, and Shammi's maternal cousin, Juggal Kishore Mehra, was a singer and a part of the Agha family, and whose step-granddaughter is Salma Agha, an actress and singer.
