5 adorable grandfathers of Bollywood we all love

Grandfathers can fill the lives of young children with happiness, security, sense of belonging and most of all, fun. They readily invest their time in their grandchildren and teach them valuable life lessons, some of which even their parents are unable to impart.

It is these endearing qualities of grandfathers that make them their grandkids' favourite person. And if we had to choose five of most affable and celebrity grandfathers, we're sure you'd go with these famous faces too.

They may be big names in the film industry, but at home, they are just like any other loving and caring grandfather.

Click 'Start Gallery' to know more about some of most adorable grandfathers of Bollywood.

Randhir Kapoor

Randhir Kapoor

He may a part of one of legendary families of the Indian film industry, but to Taimur, Samaira and Kiaan, he's just their simple and loving grandfather.

The latest grandfather to join the bandwagon is Randhir Kapoor. Father of actors Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, he recently became a third-time grandfather with the birth of Kareena's son, Taimur Ali Khan.

And just like any other grandfather, not only was he eagerly awaiting Taimur's birth, but is happy to be a hands-on grandfather whenever needed. “We are very happy. The baby is fine and so is Kareena. All of us are absolutely delighted," he told Filmfare.

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan

The legendary actor and the 74-year-old patriarch of the Bachchan family is also a proud grandfather. His grandchildren Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda as well as Aaradhya Bachchan are the apple of his eyes by his own admission and he never hesitates to declare his love and affection for them.

But he is also not a grandfather who likes to preach. In fact, he even penned an emotional letter to his two granddaughters urging them to follow their dreams and recently shared a picture of Aaradhya calling her "the most beautiful grand daughter in the whole wide world."

Rishi Kapoor

Rishi Kapoor

Grandfather to daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's daughter Samara Sahni, the legendary actor seems to truly enjoy her company.

He even celebrated his 64th birthday with Samara on his laps and the picture was shared by his wife who captioned it: “Celebrating NANA’s birthday.”

But it isn't just the grandfather who loves spending time with Samara, even Neetu Kapoor can't get enough of her little munchkin and often shares her granddaughter's pictures on her social media accounts.

Salim Khan

Salim Khan

The patriarch of the illustrious Khandaan again became a grandfather with the arrival of daughter Arpita's son, Ahil Sharma last year.

Khan, who is known to be extremely close to his grandchildren clearly cannot get enough of the little munchkin and is often seen playing with him.

The 81-year-old is already grandfather to sons Sohail and Arbaaz's kids.

Rakesh Roshan

Rakesh Roshan

Grandfather to 10-year-old Hrehaan and 8-year-old Hridhaan, Rakesh Roshan is an extremely engaged grandfather. He is very much a part of his grandson's lives and even encourages them top help with with storylines.

In an interview to DNA, he even admitted that the two boys are keen to join the industry as well. "Before joining films Hrithik assisted me in a few films. Now Rajesh's (Roshan) son is assisting me... we have another Roshan coming up. Then we have Hrehaan and Hridhaan. When I ask them what you want to do, they instantly say actors. So the Roshan's are there and they will be there," he said.

Well, talent certainly runs in this family.
