Karisma and Kareena Kapoor recently shared heartwarming stories about their grandfather, Raj Kapoor, on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show.' A key highlight was Karisma inheriting Raj Kapoor's iconic blue eyes, making her his favorite grandchild. This unique trait has now passed down to the next generation, with Taimur and Raha also sporting the same eye color.
Some legacies are written in blood, others in eye colour. In a heartwarming throwback, sisters Karisma and
Kareena Kapoor
took fans down memory lane as they opened up about their deep bond with grandfather
Raj Kapoor
on The Great Indian Kapil Show.
From childhood memories to shared blue eyes, the episode offered a glimpse into the family's most cherished connections—one that now continues through the next generation.
On The Great Indian Kapil Show, Kareena shared that Karisma was their grandfather Raj Kapoor's favourite grandchild—partly because she was the first, but also because she inherited his iconic blue eyes. Karisma added that the same eye colour has now passed down to Taimur and Raha, continuing their dadaji's legacy.
Raha Kapoor's eye colour became a talking point after Alia Bhatt and
Ranbir Kapoor
revealed her face to the public for the first time on Christmas Eve.
Karisma's iconic blue eyes held special significance for her grandfather, Raj Kapoor. According to Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, a book by his daughter Ritu Nanda, Raj had jokingly told Babita, Kareena and Karisma's mother, that he would only visit the hospital after his first grandchild's birth if the baby had blue eyes. Babita recalled that on the day Karisma was born at Breach Candy Hospital, the entire family was present—except Raj Kapoor.
True to his word, he only came after confirming that Karisma had inherited his deep blue eyes.
Karisma and Kareena are daughters of
Randhir Kapoor
and Babita.
