Meet Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor's cousin who never had good relationship with them, made superhit debut, then gave back-to-back flops, still has net worth of Rs…, his name is…
If you are wondering who this person is, then let us tell you—we are talking about an actor who has been in the industry for two decades and has done over 40 movies. Yes, we are talking about Aftab Shivdasani. How is Aftab Shivdasani related to Kareena Kapoor or Karisma Kapoor?
Karisma and Kareena were born to Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor. Aftab is related to yesteryear actress Babita. Aftab's father, Prem Shivdasani, was the nephew of actress Babita's father, Hari Shivdasani. Hence, Babita is Aftab's aunt. With this aspect, Aftab's relation to Kareena and Karisma is that of cousins.
Did you know that Aftab's aunt Sadhana and Babita, despite being sisters, did not have good terms and did not talk to each other? Media reports claim it is because of personal matters.
Despite coming from a Kapoor background, Aftab had to struggle for years in the industry. He made his debut with the film Mast alongside Urmila Matondkar. Over the years, he featured in various films. However, his major recognition came when he worked in Kasoor in 2001.
Did you know that before Aftab's adult debut, he worked as a child artist? He played the childhood role of Vijay Kumar Srivastava in Anil Kapoor's Mr. India and Amitabh Bachchan's film Shahenshah. Apart from this, he appeared as a child star in ChaalBaaz, Awwal Number, and Insaniyat.
Aftab was last seen in Kotigobba 3 and is now all set to feature in his next film Masti 4. The movie is currently under filming.

'Babita is not God, she may have made some mistakes,' says Suneel Darshan when asked about why Karisma Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan broke up: 'In the process of being protective, she..'
Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan 's engagement was a huge announcement and this union was much awaited. Thus, it came as a huge shock to people when their engagement was called off. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Karisma and Abhishek shared screen space in 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya Hai', which was produced by Suneel Darshan and directed by Dharmesh Darshan . Producer Suneel Darshan shared a close professional association with Karisma as she starred in many of his other movies like 'Jaanwar', 'Ek Rishta'. In an interview, the producer was asked what went wrong between Abhishek and Karisma. Responding to it, he said, 'Destiny has brought a lot of turbulence in the lives of the Kapoor girls. That's how I would word it. A lot of turbulence and a lot of tumult. They are fortunate to have a mother like Babita who tried to protect them, but maybe in the process of protecting them, she might have erred. She is human after all and not God. Everybody makes mistakes. Galtiyaan sabse ho jaati hai aur unse bhi hui hongi. But these girls were bought up with a lot of care and love. ' He further said, "I don't want to delve deeper than that because I'm not a part of their immediate family." When asked if Abhishek and Karisma had chemistry during the shoot of their film, Suneel said, 'They did have a chemistry between them but it was more like the kind of chemistry they had in my film Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Blood cancer is taking our curious baby away from us!

It was good until issues from the outside world began to enter their lives. They created the problems and disturbed their relationship.' Karisma later on went on to marry Sunjay Kapur in 2003. They got divorced officially in 2016. Kapur recently passed away due to a heart stroke after he reportedly followed a bee. Karisma and Sunjay had two children together - Samaira and Kiaan.

Shefali Shah on stereotyping in films: Dug my grave playing wife to much older man
Actor Shefali Shah recently shared her views on how women are stereotyped in cinema. She further confessed how the OTT has changed the entire game altogether. Shah also opened up about the industry's ageist mindset and how roles for women drastically shrink once they cross a certain actor spoke about the same at the Women Summit during her session titled: Begums of Binge: How Streaming is Empowering Women alongside actor Bhumi Pednekar and Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix. Shefali recalled the challenges of being typecast early on and how the advent of OTT platforms finally gave her the space to flourish as a leading actor in her feel lucky because, at one point, there was simply no space for women in cinema after a certain age. After 25 or 28, you are considered inconsequential. I know that might sound rude, but it's the truth. If you look back at the films of the '60s, women of all ages were celebrated. If you take a look at films like 'Chandni' or 'ChaalBaaz', for instance, the heroines were fierce, powerful, and appreciated for who they were.' She further added, 'Then came a phase where a woman's role was reduced to merely being eye candy. She was there to beautify the screen. It's sad that makers didn't realise that women have so much more to offer. After marriage and children, it was like, go home, your part is done.'Having said that, Shah looked back on the time when she played the role of Amitabh Bachchan's wife in 'Waqt: The Race Against Time' at an early age.'I dug my own grave when I played the mother or wife to a much older man. If someone had told me I'd be playing lead roles in my 40s, I would've laughed it off. And yet, it actually happened. What changed everything for me was OTT. I only wish it had come earlier as I lost out on a lot,' she on the work front, Shefali Shah will next be seen in 'Delhi Crime' Season 3. 'Delhi Crime' is directed and written by Tanuj Chopra. It is bankrolled by Apoorva Bakshi, Michael Hogan, Florence Sloan, Aaron Kaplan, Jeff Sagansky, Matt Aragachi, Sanjay Bachani, Pooja Kohli, Kilian Kerwin, Shefali Shah, and Tanuj Chopra. Other than Shah, the series will also mark the return of Rasika Dugal and Rajesh Tailang.- EndsMust Watch
