I am what I am today because of my mother: Karisma Kapoor

Karisma Kapoor, a superhit actress from the 90s and a member of the Kapoor family, faced numerous challenges and criticisms in her early film career. She believes that her mother Babita was her greatest strength during these tough times.

Karisma credits her mother’s unwavering support and struggles for her success and place among top actresses. Recently, Karisma appeared in a special episode of the singing reality show 'Indian Idol', where the host Aditya Narayan mentioned that Babita provided significant support in Karisma's career, calling her the real superstar. This made Karisma emotional.

She expressed that her mother is like God to her and that she is what she is today because of her mother. While her entire family supported her, she emphasized that the confidence and values instilled by her mother became her greatest strength. Karisma also spoke about her mother's film career, noting that although Babita worked in Hindi cinema for a short time, she delivered several successful films, showcasing her talent and hard work.

Karisma mentioned that her mother worked with major stars of that era, such as Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Manoj Kumar, and Dharmendra, and shared the screen with renowned Kapoor actors like Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor. However, due to a tradition in the Kapoor family that discouraged women from working in films, Babita had to leave her film career after marriage.

This was a significant decision for her, but she prioritized her family and focused on raising her children. It is noteworthy that Karisma Kapoor has achieved a prominent position in Bollywood through her hard work.
