Kapoor Haveli, Historical residence in Peshawar, Pakistan.

The five-story mansion features traditional jharokas balconies, floral motifs, and nine original rooms within its grand architectural design.

Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor constructed this residence between 1918 and 1922, which later became the birthplace of Indian cinema figures Raj Kapoor and Trilok Kapoor.

The mansion represents the pre-partition era when Hindu families maintained substantial residences in Peshawar, contributing to the city's multicultural heritage.

The property currently faces ownership disputes, with the local government valuing it at 15 million rupees while the owner demands 2 billion rupees.

Family members Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor collected soil from the residence during their 1990 visit as a connection to their roots.
