Quotes
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena Kapoor Khan is an Indian actress and the younger sister of Karisma Kapoor.
“When Karisma wanted to become a heroine, many people said that girls from the Kapoor family do not work in films. So my mom, Babita Kapoor, told Karisma, 'Who says my daughter is any less than sons?' She then called my father (Randhir Kapoor) and said that Lolo (Karisma) wants to become a heroine. He was actually very surprised. But he completely supported her and said that if Karisma wants to do this, it will be the first time in the Kapoor family. Let’s see what happens, but whatever you do, do it from the heart, do it passionately, and do it with dedication.”
