Born on November 16, 1985, to a Punjabi father, Kumud Roy Kapur, and an Indian Jewish mother, Salome Aaron, the actor is known for his "chocolate boy" image. Aditya Roy Kapur is the youngest of three siblings—his eldest brother, Siddharth Roy Kapur, is a producer who’s married to actress Vidya Balan, and his second brother, Kunaal Roy Kapur, is also an actor.
It’s not just Aditya and his brothers who have entered the film fraternity; Aditya Roy Kapur’s grandfather, Raghupat Roy Kapur, was also a film producer. Aditya’s maternal grandparents, Sam and Ruby Aaron, were qualified dance teachers who introduced the Samba dance to India.
