Mumbai: After living separately for years, veteran actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita, parents of Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor, have decided to spend their old age together.
“Everyone’s parents are the best parents in the world. And my parents are the best parents in the world. Now, they 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,” Kareena confirmed in a recent interview with Mojo Story.
“That is something that has come a 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,” Kareena added.
Randhir and Babita fell in love while working together in the film ‘Kal Aaj Aur Kal.’ They tied the knot in 1971.
However, their marriage hit rock bottom due to their career choices, and they parted ways in 1988.
Babita moved out of the Kapoor mansion with her daughters Karisma and Kareena, and raised them as a single mother.
Though the couple lived separately, they never filed for a divorce.
Kareena will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Daayra’, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Sharing her excitement, Kareena posted on Instagram, “As I celebrate 25 incredible years in Hindi cinema, I’m thrilled to announce my next film, Daayra, with the incredible Meghna Gulzar in the director’s chair. I’ve long admired her work, from Talvar to Raazi, and to be directed by her is a dream come true. The opportunity to collaborate with the talented Prithviraj is also a highlight, and I’m drawn to the film’s bold, thought-provoking narrative. Daayra promises to be a cinematic experience that challenges and inspires, and I look forward to working with Meghna, Prithviraj, and the team at Junglee Pictures on this powerful, timely film.”
