six children of Ranbir Lal and Rooprani Chopra, a Punjabi family, was

born on 23 September 1935, in Lahore. After the partition of India,

his family moved to Simla (present-day Shimla), where he was brought

up. He has studied in S.D. Sr. Sec. School, Simla. His father desired

for him to be a doctor or an Indian Administrative Services

Officer.Chopra completed his schooling and college from Shimla after

his father, who was a government servant, got transferred there. He

graduated from Panjab University. He took part in college dramatics

enthusiastically. At his father's insistence, he completed his

graduation and then went to Bombay (present-day Mumbai). Soon after he

made his debut film, his mother was diagnosed with mouth cancer and

she died, leaving his then nine-year-old sister Anju to be looked

after by his father and his four other brothers. The brothers had

given warning to their respective wives that only if their sister is

happy, would they be happy and Prem considers his sister to be his

first daughter. Noted writer-director Lekh Tandon brought the proposal

of Uma for marriage to Prem. Uma was the younger sister of the

siblings Krishna Kapoor, Prem Nath and Rajendranath. The couple have

three daughters, Rakita, Punita and Prerna Chopra. Rakita is married

to film publicity designer Rahul Nanda. Punita owns a pre-school

called Wind Chimes in Bandra, suburban Mumbai, and is married to

singer and television actor Vikas Bhalla. Prerna is married to

Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi. He resides in a duplex apartment in

Pali Hill, Bandra in Mumbai.He became estranged with two of his four

brothers in the late 1980s. Chopra had bought a bungalow in 1980 in

Delhi, which was jointly owned by him and his father, and his father

and one brother used to stay there. Chopra had gotten his brother a

job in Delhi, and made him stay at the bungalow. But his father, a day

before his death, was made to sign a will favouring one of his

brothers, taking away Chopra's rights to the bungalow. Later, an

income tax raid happened in that same house, and his brother said in

the raid that Chopra had given them the bungalow, but the house still

was in name of Prem Chopra. Chopra had two other houses in Bombay as

well, which were sold off cheaply by his other brothers without

telling him, as they needed the money.
