Who is Zahan Kapoor

The debutante has several times performed at Prithvi Theatre, which was built by Shashi Kapoor and Zahan’s grandmother Jennifer Kapoor in the memory of the actor’s great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor. Zahan made his theatre debut more than seven months ago at Prithvi Theatre with Makarand Deshpande’s Pitaji Please, co-starring Swanand Kirkire.
