Kareena Kapoor expresses happiness about Randhir Kapoor and Babita deciding to stay together again.
Kareena spoke about her parents' unconventional family and said, "Everyone's parents are the best parents in the world. And my parents are the best parents in the world.

Kareena further expressed her feelings about Randhir and Babita's decision to stay together again and said, '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 spoke about how she and Karisma carried the Kapoor legacy forward and revealed that her father, Randhir, also appreciated Babita for allowing them to grow and letting them make an impact with their performances. Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor's relationship
Randhir married actor Babita in 1971. The couple met during their early days in the film industry and fell in love while working together in films like Kal Aaj Aur Kal. However, their relationship faced challenges due to differences over career choices. Babita stepped away from acting after marriage, as was expected at the time. Later, in 1988, Babita separated from Randhir and moved out with her daughters. Despite living separately for decades, the couple never divorced. Randhir and Babita remained on cordial terms and were often seen together at family events and celebrations, reflecting mutual respect and affection despite their estrangement. Kareena Kapoor's upcoming movie
Kareena will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar's film Daayra. The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. Sharing her excitement about the film, Kareena wrote 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.'

Kareena Kapoor Reveals Randhir Kapoor And Babita Want To "Spend Their Old Age Together" After Years Of Separation
New Delhi: Kareena Kapoor, during a recent conversation with Barkha Dutt, talked about her parents' equation in details. Randhir Kapoor and Babita had a love marriage but they soon parted their ways due to compatibility issues. Though the couple never divorced each other, they have reunited to spend their old age together, said Kareena on the show. What's Happening Reflecting upon Randhir Kapoor and Babita's decision of staying together, Kareena said, "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." After years of separation, they have decided to spend their old age together "because that's where their journey started and that's where exactly they are together," Kareena summed up. Kareena also credited her mother who helped Karisma to break the glass ceiling in the family to become the first woman who had built a career in films. She mentioned that her father had to agree with her mother. "In a marriage, a man does realise that a woman, the mother, is the primary caregiver, and if he does support the mother in a positive way, you can raise a couple of beautiful children. It does happen, but the men have to know what all the mother does and they have to give them the credit they have to support them," said Kareena. Echoing the universal sentiment of calling one's parents the best, Kareena said, "Everyone's parents are the best parents in the world. Yes. And my parents are the best parents in the world." Randhir Kapoor And Babibta's Love Story Randhir Kapoor fell in love with Babita when he saw her for the first time on the sets of his father Raj Kapoor's film, Sangam. Babita had just made her debut in films before they met in 1969. They started dating and Randhir Kapoor's parents gave their approval to their union. The Kapoors proposed to Babita on their son's behalf. Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor married in November 1971, but he returned to his parents' residence in 1988 and never filed for divorce. Randhir Kapoor earlier told Hindustan Times, "She found that I was a terrible man who drank a lot and came home late, which was something she didn't like. And I didn't want to live the way she wanted, and she couldn't accept me as I was, though it was a love marriage. So it's okay. 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 could I have asked for as a father?" In A Nutshell Kareena Kapoor has revealed that Randhir Kapoor and Babita have decided to spend their old age together after staying apart for years.

‘Who'll accept if Hema Malini becomes Zeenat Aman': Yash Chopra rejected Poonam Dhillon's pitch for Yeh Vaada Raha story
Actor Poonam Dhillon recalled late filmmaker Yash Chopra's reaction when she once pitched him a film idea based on Daniel Steele's The Promise. It was later directed by Kapil Kapoor and was titled Yeh Vaada Raha (1982). Speaking with news agency ANI, Poonam revealed that he rejected the film saying that the Indian audience won't accept Hema Malini becoming Zeenat Aman. As per the plot of the story, the lead female actors changed after a cosmetic surgery. Yash Chopra didn't like Poonam Dhillon's pitch for Yeh Vaada Raha story. Poonam recalled reading the book during her trip to Japan. After returning to India she told Yash Chopra about the plot. "I told Yashji. I said, 'Yashji, ek bohot achchi kahani maini padhi hai (I have read a good story). I think it's a lovely story'. He said, 'I don't read books, you give it to Pam, she'll read it and tell me'. So I said, 'Okay'. Yeah, so Pam ji read it probably again in a day. It was a very fast read. And she gave him the narration of the subject. And I was very excited waiting for his reaction. So I said, Yash ji, you read it, Pam ji told you. He said, 'Yes, yes. But this film, our Hindi audience won't accept it'. I said, 'Why Yash ji, it's such a good story, you know, romantic story, everything'," said Poonam. As per Yash, there was a flaw in the story, which, according to him, renders it unsuitable for the Hindi audience. "He said, acha ek baat bta. Hema Malini Zeenat Aman ban jaae, kon accept karega (Tell me one thing. If Hema Malini becomes Zeenat Aman, who will accept)?' He finished my dream there and then, and the story was over. Yash Chopra toh nhi banane waale the (Chopra was not going to make it)," said Poonam. Poonam later realised Yash Chopra was right about audience's reaction Years later, Poonam was pitched a similar story by the makers of Yeh Vaada Raha, which she immediately accepted. However, after the film's struggling performance at the box office, Poonam recalled Yash's feedback on the story. "And sure, it proved right enough. At that time, plastic surgery wasn't something people would accept so easily. And that whole face has changed, and the same person is etc. So, it didn't work well at that time," she added. About Yeh Vaada Raha Yeh Vaada Raha also starred Rishi Kapoor, Tina, Rakhee and Shammi Kapoor. It was the first Hindi film where the lead female character is portrayed by two actors (Poonam and Tina) through the use of plastic surgery.

RS Prasanna's coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan in the lead, witnessed its most drastic drop on Monday, its 11th day at the domestic box office. The film, which had been slowly and surely making its presence felt in cinemas, has started to slow down towards the end of its second week.

As per Sacnilk, the current box office collection of Sitaare Zameen Par in India stands at Rs 126.4 crore. Aamir's film still hasn't been able to surpass Salman Khan's action movie Sikandar, which earned Rs 129.95 crore at the domestic box office earlier this year. It's also trailing Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which made Rs 134.93 crore earlier this year. Over the past four days, Sitaare Zameen Par has also begun to face a new competitor in Vishal Furia's mythological horror film Maa, starring Kajol. Co-produced by Ajay Devgn, the film comes from the world of his hit supernatural thriller last year, Shaitaan. Maa, which also witnessed a drastic drop on its first Monday, has collected Rs 19.9 crore so far at the box office. Starting this Friday both films will face fresh competition in the Hindi market. Anurag Basu's romantic anthology Metro…In Dino, the spiritual successor to his 2007 hit film Life.. in a Metro, hits cinemas on July 4.
