Krishna Kapoor is No More, The First and Best of the Star Wives

The news broke late last night, right after I went to bed, so I am aware I am late in acknowledging it. But I still felt I should say something.
I am trying a new thing, sort of cliff notes version of Hindi film history. Not the actual history (“Bombay Talkies studio was founded by Harivanshri Rai and Devika Rani…”), but the gossip history that everyone kind of knows if they’ve grown up with the films or if they’ve been following them for years. But I know that isn’t true for some of my readers and so, just for you, I am giving you the kind of informal oral history. Starting with the Kapoor Family (part 1 here).
So, there is something huge going on that no one is talking about. Not because it is shameful or embarressing, but because it is considered to private and requiring of respect. Naturally, it involves a family issue.
