Both Karisma and Kareena hail from the Kapoor clan, often called the royal family in films and both have time and again proved their prowess in films. While one has given us hits like ‘Biwi No. 1’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ and ‘Fiza’, the other has enamoured audiences in films like ‘Talaash’, ‘Jab We Met’ and ‘Chameli’. Both Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan have proved that cinema runs in their blood.
As Karisma celebrates her 45th birthday today, we take a look at the relationship between the two Kapoor sisters.
Born to Randhir Kapoor and Babita, the sisters born six years apart to each other did not have too happy a childhood.
Enamoured by the acting of leading ladies of her time Sridevi and Madhuri, Karisma too wanted to enter showbiz. However, despite her coming from a family with such strong filmy connections, her father Randhir Kapoor disapproved of women working in films. He thought it was more prudent for them to be tied to traditional maternal duties and remain within the family.
This led her parents fighting and separating in 1988.
The young sisters were raised by their mum who worked several jobs to raise them until Karisma debuted in films with ‘Prem Qaidi’.
It is no secret that the two sisters share a great camaraderie. Kareena has often credited Karisma as being the rock beside her and had once even said during an interview said that her mother and sister had struggled a lot to give her a good life.
Speaking about the relationship Kareena shares with her sister during an interview to a national daily, the ‘Heroine’ actor said that even though she bullies Karisma at times, eventually, "she’s the person I have grown up aspiring to be."

In fact, Kareena Kapoor Khan had once confessed that she considers none other than her sister Karisma Kapoor as her fashion icon. She said that Karisma has been styling her since childhood!
“Whenever I feel like dressing up, I always remember Lolo (Karisma Kapoor). I just love her fashion sense and I follow her a lot. She used to choose my outfits and get me ready when I was a kid and loved it. I still ask for her fashion advice as she gives great suggestions and styling tips.”
The actor further said that the way Karisma conducted herself as an actor was inspiring, adding, "Her simplicity is her beauty and charm. That’s why, all her life, everyone around her has bullied her. But everyone who is a part of my life knows that if Lolo (Karisma’s pet name) has said something, then it’s like gospel truth for me. "
The actor further added that she admired the way Karisma has conducted her life and career with dignity, and the way she has single-handedly brought up her children, despite a lot of media stress.
Despite several ups and downs, both the sisters have managed to share a very close bond with Karisma often being captured with her nephew Taimur. The sisters were recently seen holidaying in the UK, along with their children Taimur, Samiera and Kiaan Raj Kapoor, from where the happy bunch also posted an image for their fans. Karisma captioned the post "love" and she accompanied it with a heart emoji.
