Kareena talks about taking Kapoor legacy forward with Karisma before Ranbir came; fans say ‘Karisma walked before…'
Jul 01, 2025 12:31 PM IST The Kapoor Khandaan is not just a family of actors. They are Bollywood royalty, who have a profound legacy behind them. Currently the members from the clan who are majorly ruling the industry include Kareena Kapoor Khan (44), her cousin brother Ranbir Kapoor (42) and his wife Alia Bhatt Kapoor (32). More often than not, RK is described as the 'chirag' of the Kapoor Khandaan, with his impactful screen presence, crazy fan-following and exciting line up of films. But in a recent interview, Kareena gave the credit of taking forward their family's legacy to herself and her sister Karisma Kapoor (51), who was the queen of hearts in the 1990s and early 2000s. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor In a chat with Barkha Dutt, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan was quoted saying, 'I think we've carried on the Kapoor legacy. It was only me and Karishma before Ranbir came in. So the two girls, actually like my mother says, they're not tigresses, they are tigers because they did take the legacy forward.' While Ranbir Kapoor began his acting journey 18 years ago, Kareena completed 25 years in the industry this year. But Karisma Kapoor was the first Kapoor woman to enter mainstream cinema 34 years ago, breaking the family's tradition of having only male stars. Is this true? byu/xyz644783 inBollyBlindsNGossip Well, netizens across social media agree with Kareena. At least partially, about how Karisma took forward the family's legacy. Under a viral Reddit thread, one fan shared, 'Karishma walked before Kareena and Ranbir could run,' whereas another agreed and wrote, 'Karishma ran before Kareena and Ranbir could crawl.' A comment read, 'Definitely…Karishma made it easier. Atleast we used to know Kareena as 'Karishma ki behen' almost all my childhood,' whereas another fan opined, '100% true! Give the girls the credit. Ranbir was declared the 'future of Bollywood' on day 1… and yes he is good actor but he didn't have to toil like Karishma had to prove her worth!' Who is your favourite Kapoor from the royal clan?

‘Daddy's not gonna get you a job': Ranbir Kapoor's cousin and Black Warrant star Zahan Kapoor breaks down nepotism
The Kapoor Khandaan is one of the oldest and most adored filmy families of Indian cinema. While Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are well-known names who have been a part of the industry for a pretty long time, in 2023 a new Kapoor entered Bollywood — their cousin Zahan Kapoor began his journey. Son of Kunal Kapoor and grandson of Shashi Kapoor, Zahan began his career as a theatre actor before making his Bollywood debut with the film Faraaz in 2023. But it was earlier this year that he rose to fame with his incredible performance as a Tihar jailer in Vikramaditya Motwane's series Black Warrant. Today, Zahan is winning hearts with his take on nepotism. A post shared by Zahan (@zahankapoor) In a recent chat with Filmfare, Zahan Kapoor got candid and broke down the meaning of the word 'nepotism'. The young actor shared, 'What does nepotism mean? It's an undeserving, a non-meritorial advantage that someone gets given because of some personal equation. Right? That's what it is. So irrespective of the word or not, I think I was told always to never take that idea for granted that nobody's gonna, daddy's not gonna pick up the phone and get you a job. And in fact, the name and the baggage scared me to the point where I said 'if I don't make the most of an opportunity, if a door opens for me and if I don't make the most of it, if I'm not ready, if I'm not prepared, if I don't have the wherewithal to actually stand on my own feet and confidently walk into that room, then I'm the biggest loser, matlab laanat hai mujhpe'.' A post shared by Zahan (@zahankapoor) He went on to explain, 'Why shouldn't I take complete advantage and also complete kind of preparation? So for me, that is my outlook. And it's not been like there's been handouts at all. So I have managed to kind of, like I said, it's taken, you think that it's easy, you have a name. It took me 12 years.' Lauding Zahan and his craft in the comment section below, one social media user gushed, '12 years??? and what do we audience see??? A brilliant actor..👏👏👏👏,' whereas another claimed, 'Bro doesnt look kapoor also he literally had to struggle except for money part literally a good actor comes in category of method actor and theatre actor.' We wish Zahan all the best as we wait for his next project!
