**Karachi, Pakistan -** The Kapoor family has long been synonymous with Bollywood success, and now, a Pakistani clan is making a name for itself with similar cinematic lineage. Veteran actor Jawed Sheikh and his extended family, often referred to as the “Kapoors of Pakistan,” are making waves in Lollywood, the Pakistani film industry.
Jawed Sheikh, a seasoned actor with a career spanning decades, started his acting journey in 1974. His children, Momal and Shahzad, have followed in his footsteps, becoming stars in their own right. His brother, Saleem Sheikh, is also an actor, and his brother-in-law, the popular actor and voice artist Behroze Sabzwari, completes the family’s cinematic legacy.
Momal Sheikh acknowledges the similarities between her family and the Kapoors. “If you include Behroze and Saleem uncles’ families, we are the Kapoors of Pakistan,” she said in a recent interview. “We are the Sheikhs and Behroze uncle is Sabzwari… Like Kapoors, we are the Sheikh family of Lollywood.”
Jawed Sheikh’s acting career has taken him beyond Pakistani cinema, with appearances in Bollywood films like “Om Shanti Om”, “Namastey London,” and “Jannat.” He was previously married to renowned Bollywood actress and singer Salma Agha, known for her iconic role in the 1982 hit film “Nikaah.”
The Sheikh family’s success in Pakistani cinema has cemented their place as a prominent force in Lollywood, earning them comparisons to the legendary Kapoor family of Bollywood. Their lineage and dedication to the industry ensure that the legacy of the “Kapoors of Pakistan” will continue to shine for generations to come.
