Mumbai: Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor has acknowledged her mother, veteran actress Babita, as the driving force behind her success and stardom.
Recently, the granddaughter of Raj Kapoor appeared on the reality singing show Indian Idol, where she candidly discussed her mother, Babita, and her unwavering support during challenging times.
Host Aditya Narayan, while addressing the audience, spoke about how Karisma Kapoor’s mother, Babita, was the one who supported her daughter in her career.
He said that Karisma Kapoor was the on-screen superstar of the Kapoor family, but the off-screen superstar was her mother, Babita.
Listening to this, Karisma became emotional and said, “Aap mujhe rula rahe hain abhi. I worship my mother. Aisi hi honi chahiye ek maa, maa hi hoti hai. Of course, my family supported me, everyone supported me, lekin maa ka jo confidence tha aur jo values unhone mujhe sikhayi, woh sabse important hain.”
“I think that is why I am what I am today, and what I was, definitely, I will give all my credit to my mother for what I am even today.”
Karisma further added that her mother, Babita, worked in the Hindi cinema industry for only about seven years, but almost all her films were successful.
The proud daughter highlighted that Babita worked with many legendary actors, including Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Manoj Kumar, Dharmendra, and members of the Kapoor family, including Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor.
Babita quit the Hindi cinema space, following the Kapoor family traditions and rules that prohibited women from working in the entertainment industry professionally.
