In 1971, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor married actress Babita in a grand wedding ceremony. However, the couple separated in 1988 due to personal reasons. The two reconciled in October 2007, having never divorced, but they lived separately for 19 years. Their two daughters Karisma and Kareena Kapoor lived with Babita during this period.
Recently, Kareena opened up on the bond her parents share with each other. She also opened up on what it was like to be raised by a single mother. Speaking to Barkha Dutt, Kareena said, "My mother is my best friend but I adore my father because I respect and love him a lot. He is not very in-your-face because he is someone who has always chosen to be at the back. He is not someone who is commanding the attention and wants that. He is silently always there for us and I know it."
