Raj Kapoor was born in this haveli in 1924. Two of his younger siblings, who died early in 1931, were also born here. Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor were born in India, but they visited and lived at the mansion at times. After the Partition of India in 1947, members of the family, like other Hindus, left the city and the building. It was purchased in an auction in 1968 by a jeweller Haji Khushal Rasool from Charsadda town in Khyber Patkhtoonkhuwa under the settlement clause and then sold to a resident of Peshawar. Raj Kapoor's younger brother Shashi Kapoor, and sons, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, visited Peshawar and their old family home in 1990. They also took some soil from the compound to remember their heritage.

This haveeli belongs to the family of prithvi Raj Kapoor once lived in this house before partition. He used to be high official in police department, latter he migrated to India with his family, his sons Raj Kapoor was born in this house. The family visited peshawar twice back in 90,s,recently govt of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa purchased this house to preserve it for tourism purpose, the govt will turn this house into Museum, then it will be opened for visitors.

It was in a really bad condition. Though, the government is planning to renovate and convert it into a heritage museum. I hope they do it soon enough.
