Raj Kapoor refused to visit hospital after Karisma Kapoor’s birth due to…

Karisma Kapoor has always been her grandfather’s favourite. This is not stated by a report, but the actress herself said it on camera. The doting duo of grandfather and grandchild was celebrated. However, what if we tell you one odd story about the duo? Yes, do you know that when Karisma was born, the entire Kapoor family reached the hospital to check upon Babita and her newborn? However, it was only Raj Kapoor who did not pay her a visit. He kept a strange condition in front of Babita.

According to Raj Kapoor’s daughter Ritu Nanda’s book Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, Babita had said that when Karisma was born, the entire Kapoor family had reached the hospital, but not Raj Kapoor. According to her, Raj Kapoor had put a condition in front of her before Karisma’s birth. His condition was that he would come to the hospital only if the baby’s eyes were blue. The happy thing is that Karisma’s eyes were blue like her grandfather’s.

After Raj Kapoor got to know about Karisma’s eye colour, he was filled with joy. Ritu mentioned in her book that while growing up, Karisma was very close to Raj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor not only encouraged Karisma’s dreams but also had faith that she would achieve big things.

You will be amazed to know that after Ritu Nanda’s brief appearance on-screen, it was Karisma Kapoor who became a female actress in the Kapoor family. Interestingly, the Kapoor family had a ritual that no female member would venture into acting. However, that norm was broken by Karisma, and following her was Kareena Kapoor.
