Randhir Kapoor is celebrating his 74th birthday on February 15, this year. The veteran actor is a proud father of actors Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. He was earlier married to Babita, but the couple got separated back in 1988. However, they never got divorced and share a cordial relationship. At every event held at Kapoor household, Babita marks her presence. Moreover, Karisma and Kareena even share photos of their parents posing together.
Earlier during an interaction with Hindustan Times, Randhir had spoken about his separation from Babita. He had stated, "She’s a crucial part of my life. She has given me two lovely kids. We are all grown-up people, and we preferred to stay separately, [but] we are not enemies."
Talking about the reason for separation, Randhir said, "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 am, 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 I could have asked for as a father."
When quizzed why didn't they opt for a divorce, Randhir concluded by saying, "Divorce for what? Why should we head for divorce? I don’t intend to get married again, and nor does she."
Now, Randhir and Babita are all set to welcome their fourth grandchild as Kareena is pregnant with her second baby.
