Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor have carved their unique space in Bollywood, becoming the leading ladies of their generation. They are daughters of Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and the actresses rightly inherited the genes of their parents, who were once a part of showbiz themselves. However, apart from growing up in a glam world, the two Kapoor sisters have also witnessed the emotional complexity of their parents’ bond while growing up. In a recent interview, Kareena expressed her delight and shared that her parents have decided to spend their old age together.
Kareena Kapoor’s parents, Randhir and Babita, are back together
Kareena Kapoor sat down for an interview with Mojo Story, where she shared a heartwarming development with her fans. She explained that just like anyone else, her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, have also been exceptional in looking after her and her sister, Karisma Kapoor. Moreover, now they have chosen to spend their lives with each other again in their later years. Kareena described this union as a full circle moment as her parents met, fell in love, and separated but have now found comfort in their togetherness. In her words:
“They (Randhir Kapoor and Babita) have decided to just spend their old age holding hands together because that’s where their journey started, and that’s exactly where they are together.”
The Crew actress called her parents’ reunion a significant moment for her and her sister, Karisma. Calling it a ‘divine intervention’ for them, Kareena mentioned that life has come full circle for her and her sister, too. She revealed that despite living with their mom, their father has always supported them in their pursuit of passion. Expressing her feelings, Kareena said:
“That is something that has come full circle for Karisma and me, which is absolutely, it’s like a divine kind of intervention which has happened. Individually, I think both of them have been wonderful because I mean my father has always supported whatever I wanted to do in my life. They were very supportive.”
Randhir Kapoor shared the reason behind his divorce from Babita
In an old interview with the Hindustan Times, Randhir Kapoor stated that Babita was always a crucial part of his life who gave him two lovely kids. He asserted that despite staying separately they don’t share any enmity. The actor revealed that Babita chose to separate due to his different lifestyle which she didn’t appreciate. Randhir mentioned that he used to drink a lot of alcohol and arrive late at home, which led them to part ways. Sharing why they never filed for a formal divorce, Randhir said:
“We had two lovely children to look after. She brought them up in the best way, and they have excelled in their career. What else I could have asked for as a father. Divorce for what? Why should we head for divorce? I don’t intend to get married again, and nor does she.”
Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor’s love story
Randhir Kapoor met Babita on the set of Sangam, and they fell in love while working together in 1971 on Kal Aaj Aur Kal. After marrying in the same year, the actress left her career to look after her family, but the duo separated in 1988 over certain differences. Babita continued to raise her daughters, Karisma and Kareena. But, the couple never parted ways. They reconnected in the early 2000s and attended events together while staying in different homes. However, their reunion has come as happy news for their fans.
