Report from Pakistan: Kapoor’s ancestral property in shambles

A media report states that the decaying ancestral residence of Kapoor family in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar may collapse soon. They resided in Dhakki near Peshawar's Qissa Khwani Bazaar - the well-known lane of tellers of tales - prior to partition.

The journalist, who went inside the house, states that he walked "carefully as rubble falls from the roof, wary of breaking a mold-infested floorboard and go down to the dark basement where the building may collapse on itself one day if not saved soon." He penetrated inside the house via a crack in the back wall to observe the screech of corroded axis ripping in the course of the stillness.

The journalist also paid a visit to Dilip Kumar's inherited house in Feelkhana Nawab Nasir Khan -- the road where the final Mughal governor Nasir Khan preserved an elephant shed. Dilip Kumar's residence was lately in news when Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif acknowledged it as a national heritage.
