Note (September 2026): An earlier version said Reema Kapoor’s December 1988 wedding came the year before her father’s death; Raj Kapoor died on 2 June 1988, so a December 1988 wedding took place after his death. The text below has been corrected and the family details updated.
Reema Kapoor, known as Rima Jain since her marriage, is the youngest daughter of filmmaker Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor. She married businessman Manoj Jain and is the mother of actors Armaan Jain and Aadar Jain. She has never worked in films, and no verified date of birth for her has been published.
Key Takeaways
- Reema Kapoor (Rima Jain) is one of Raj Kapoor’s two daughters; her sister was Ritu Nanda.
- The widely copied birth date of 28 September 1952 cannot be right, because her brother Rishi Kapoor was born on 4 September 1952.
- She married businessman Manoj Jain; press profiles date the wedding to December 1988, about six months after Raj Kapoor died on 2 June 1988.
- Her sons are actors Armaan Jain (debut: Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, 2014) and Aadar Jain (debut: Qaidi Band, 2017).
- No credible net worth figure exists for her.
Reema Kapoor’s exact age is not publicly verifiable. No official birth record has been published, and unlike her four siblings she has no documented date of birth in any authoritative reference. She is Raj Kapoor’s youngest daughter, was born in the 1950s, married Manoj Jain in December 1988, and is the mother of actors Armaan and Aadar Jain. Any site quoting a precise date is repeating an unverified figure — and as shown below, the most widely circulated one cannot be correct.
Why the widely quoted date is wrong
Several profile sites state that Reema Kapoor was born on 28 September 1952. That date does not survive a basic check against her own family.
Her brother Rishi Kapoor was born on 4 September 1952, a date documented in every major reference and in his own published memoir. The two share the same parents. A sibling born 24 days after another, to the same mother, is not possible. The 1952 date is therefore an error that has been copied between profile pages rather than checked.
What can be said from the family record is narrower but sound. Raj Kapoor and Krishna Kapoor had five children with four documented birth dates:
| Child | Born | Status of record |
|---|---|---|
| Randhir Kapoor | 15 February 1947 | Documented |
| Ritu Nanda | 30 October 1948 | Documented |
| Rishi Kapoor | 4 September 1952 | Documented |
| Rajiv Kapoor | 25 August 1962 | Documented |
| Reema Jain (née Kapoor) | Not published | No verified record |
Since she is consistently described as the youngest daughter and Ritu was born in 1948, Reema’s birth falls somewhere after that — most probably in the mid-to-late 1950s, between Rishi and Rajiv. That is an inference from the family order, not a documented fact, and it is offered as such.
One related correction worth making: she is often called Raj Kapoor’s youngest child. She is not. Rajiv Kapoor, born 1962, was the youngest of the five. Reema is the youngest daughter.
Who is Reema Kapoor?
Reema Kapoor — known as Rima Jain since her marriage — is the youngest daughter of the filmmaker and actor Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor. She is a third-generation member of the Kapoor film family and one of the very few in it who never pursued a screen career, which is precisely why verified information about her is scarce.

The Kapoor family connection
The Kapoor line runs from Prithviraj Kapoor through Raj, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor, and onward to Randhir, Rishi, Rajiv and their children — including Karisma and Kareena Kapoor, Reema’s nieces, and Ranbir Kapoor, her nephew. Reema sits inside that family without ever having worked in front of a camera.
That distinction matters for anyone searching for her. She is not an actress, and the absence of a filmography is not a gap in the record — it is the record.
Marriage to Manoj Jain
Reema Kapoor married Manoj Jain, a businessman, in December 1988 in Mumbai, and took the name Rima Jain. Raj Kapoor died on 2 June 1988, so a December 1988 wedding came about six months after his death, not before it. The exact wedding date comes from press profiles rather than a published official record, and the couple have remained together since. Manoj Jain has never worked in the film industry.
Her sons: Armaan and Aadar Jain
Reema’s two sons are the reason her name is searched at all, and both did enter films.
Armaan Jain, the elder, made his acting debut in Lekar Hum Deewana Dil (2014). He married Anissa Malhotra on 3 February 2020 in Mumbai, in a wedding widely covered because of the Kapoor family attendance.
Aadar Jain, the younger, debuted in Qaidi Band (2017) and later played the lead in Hello Charlie, which was released on Amazon Prime Video on 9 April 2021. Both are grandsons of Raj Kapoor through their mother.
A life away from the camera
Reema Kapoor has given no significant interviews, maintains no verified public social media presence, and appears in press coverage almost exclusively at family occasions. This is a deliberate distance rather than an absence of opportunity, and it explains why so much of what circulates about her online — ages, net worth figures, career claims — has no verifiable source behind it.
On net worth specifically: no credible figure exists. She has no public business interests or disclosed holdings. Figures published elsewhere are estimates of the wider family’s wealth, or invented outright.
Reema Kapoor’s Family Today
Reema Kapoor’s immediate family has changed a great deal since 2018. According to Wikipedia’s Raj Kapoor article, her mother and three of her four siblings have died, leaving Reema and her eldest brother, Randhir Kapoor, as the surviving children of Raj and Krishna Kapoor.
| Family member | Relation to Reema | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| Raj Kapoor | Father | 14 December 1924 – 2 June 1988 |
| Krishna Raj Kapoor (née Malhotra) | Mother | 30 December 1930 – 1 October 2018 |
| Randhir Kapoor | Brother | Born 15 February 1947 |
| Ritu Nanda | Sister | 30 October 1948 – 14 January 2020 |
| Rishi Kapoor | Brother | 4 September 1952 – 30 April 2020 |
| Rajiv Kapoor | Brother | 25 August 1962 – 9 February 2021 |
Raj Kapoor married Krishna Malhotra on 12 May 1946. Krishna was the sister of actors Prem Nath, Rajendra Nath and Narendra Nath, which links Reema to a second film family on her mother’s side.
Armaan Jain and Aadar Jain: Film Work and Marriages
Armaan Jain’s debut film, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, was released on 4 July 2014. The romantic drama co-starred Deeksha Seth, was directed by Arif Ali (brother of director Imtiaz Ali) and had music by A. R. Rahman. It received negative reviews and did poorly at the box office.
Aadar Jain’s debut, Qaidi Band, was released on 25 August 2017. Directed by Habib Faisal and produced by Aditya Chopra, it follows a group of undertrial prisoners who form a band. His next lead role was in the Excel Entertainment comedy Hello Charlie (2021), opposite Jackie Shroff, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video.
Aadar Jain married Alekha Advani in wedding ceremonies held in early 2025, and the couple registered their marriage in Mumbai in September 2026, according to entertainment news reports that also noted Rima Jain’s presence. Armaan Jain and Anissa Malhotra married in Mumbai on 3 February 2020; Onmanorama’s report of the wedding described Armaan’s mother as Rima Jain, sister of Randhir and Rishi Kapoor and daughter of Raj Kapoor.
How to Check Reema Kapoor’s Age Claims Yourself
Any birth date for Reema Kapoor can be tested against her siblings’ documented dates. A date is impossible if it falls within about nine months of a sibling’s birth, as the 28 September 1952 claim does with Rishi Kapoor’s birth on 4 September 1952. The justwebworld.com age calculator can show the exact gap between any two dates, and the guide to how an age calculator determines chronological age explains the method.
