Prithviraj Kapoor's sister Shanta Kapoor Dhawan wants to visit father’s haveli in Pakistan's Peshawar one last time

It was in September last year, when the provincial government in Pakistan decided to purchase the ancestral houses of Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar to conserve the historic buildings which are in dilapidated condition and facing demolition threat. It has been declared national heritage by the provincial government. Now, late theatre and movie star Prithviraj Kapoor's sister Shanta Kapoor Dhawan expressed her desire to visit her father's Peshawar haveli in a recent interview. She said, 'My father Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor would tell us that it took two years to build the mansion which was completed in 1922. In fact my brother Trilok Kapoor and nephew Raj were born here. However, destiny took us to Kolkata and then Mumbai when Prithviraj Bhapa became a star. But I remember every nook and corner of the haveli the way it was.'
