Babita Shivdasani and Randhir Kapoor

Mother of Karishma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, Babita got married to Randhir Kapoor at the age of 23. Babita and Randhir were childhood sweethearts and shared an amazing bond with each other. The audience loved their chemistry in Kal Aaj Aur Kal, which was a runaway success.

Raj Kapoor, father of Randhir Kapoor had no issues in taking Babita as the lead actress in the 1971 film, Kal Aaj Aur Kal and working together professionally but the idea of making her the bahu of Kapoor khaandaan was something he couldn’t agree to initially. However, realising his son’s love for Babita, the Kapoors gave in on the condition that Babita should quit acting after marriage. Babita, who was head over heels in love with Randhir, adhered to the patriarchal tradition and finally on November 6, 1971, Randhir Kapoor and Babita got married in a Punjabi wedding at the Kapoor residence.

Not many know that they are separated but not divorced, and hence, it’s fair to call their marriage an estranged one.
