Babita Kapoor husband

Randhir Kapoor

In 1969, Randhir Kapoor was on the sets of the film Sangam with his father Raj Kapoor. Babita was also present and young Randhir was immediately smitten with the wide-eyed beauty. They met on the sets and subsequently began dating on chupke chupke dates. Randhir Kapoor thought it would be ideal if Babita signed a film in which he also acted. This was the only way Randhir could introduce the love of his life to the Kapoors.

On November 6, 1971, Randhir and Babita got married in a Punjabi ceremony at the Kapoor residence. In 1981, their second child, Kareena Kapoor, was born, and Randhir and Babita's marriage began to have problems. By the mid-1980s, Randhir Kapoor was labeled a failed hero. By then, he had become an alcoholic and had given up his acting career. Finally, in 1987, Babita chose to divorce Randhir. The news spread like wildfire, causing a media frenzy.

In 1988, Babita seriously considered breaking up with Randhir. After Randhir asked him to leave her apartment, Randhir moved in with his parents. Babita continued to live in the apartment with Karisma and Kareena. For the next few years, Babita remained strong and did not complain about her failed marriage. As Babita helped Karisma and Kareena with their careers, she had little contact with Randhir.

However, communication between the two was minimal from the early 2000s onwards and by 2007, 19 years after separation, the estranged life partners had buried their differences and started afresh. Both Karisma and Kareena were looking forward to this moment. Randhir and Babita continued to live separately, although the animosity between them had lessened.
