Kareena recalled sister’s struggles as dad Randhir Kapoor, Bollywood didn’t support her
When Raj Kapoor’s son Randhir Kapoor first met his future-wife Babita, they were on a flight to Hong Kong. He, in his own words, “was a nobody” and “she was a star.” Sparks flew, and before Randhir knew it, he and Babita were in a relationship while he was making his debut film Kal Aaj Aur Kal. Randhir had the added responsibility of directing the film as well, and the actors he had to direct here were his father Raj Kapoor, grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor and then-girlfriend Babita. It was then famously known that the Kapoor women did not act, as none of Raj Kapoor’s daughters were acting in the movies. It was rumoured that Raj and his wife Krishna Kapoor were not in favour of Randhir’s marriage with Babita but Randhir maintained that these were all rumours.
