'Khandaan ka naam neecha…'; Karisma Kapoor was said this by..., Rishi Kapoor got angry at her after watching…
Bollywood beauty Karisma Kapoor spoke openly about her film and family before her silver screen debut. During this, the actress revealed that her father had also advised her. She said that I don't know why people think that women of the Kapoor family cannot work. Even before making her debut in Bollywood, the actress had said many important things about her family. Karisma Kapoor gave an interview in which she talked about life in the Kapoor family and her future aspirations. In 1991, she started her career with the film 'Prem Qaidi'. Karisma, who belongs to the Kapoor family, had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, but an old interview before her debut shows that she was fully aware of this pressure and was ready to step into the film industry. According to a news published in the Indian Express, Karisma Kapoor said in the interview, 'I don't know why people are under the misconception that women of the Kapoor family cannot work. It was their own selection. After all, my whole family is full of actors, and my father and my uncle have married heroines. She also said that there is no restriction on women; rather her father, Randhir Kapoor, inspired her to become an actress. Karisma told that both her parents advise her to move forward, and she only does what she decides in consultation with them. Putting her point forward, the actress had said, 'My father inspires me to act, and he always says, 'Don't let the Kapoor name down.' He stands very strongly behind me, and I take his advice. We all sit together and talk about work. I want everyone to get this thing out of their mind that the Kapoor family thinks like this. In the same interview, Karisma Kapoor also talked about her relationship with her grandfather Raj Kapoor. She told that he was her biggest source of inspiration. I will never disappoint my grandfather, because I know that he is watching me from above and guiding me. Even when I was a child, he knew that I wanted to become an actress and he told me, 'Here you go, I know you want to become an actress, but if you become one, then become the best or don't become one at all.' Let us tell you that in an interview given to Stardust, Karishma Kapoor had said that when people saw the film 'Prem Qaidi' and came out of the theatre, no one remembered the swimsuit. Everyone was praising my acting at that time. The most important thing for me at that time was what my parents think about this. Actually, Rishi Kapoor was already against Karishma becoming an actress and he was also angry with her because of the bikini sequence in this film. After this, this statement of Karishma came to light.

Zarina Wahab's mother raised concerns about her interfaith marriage with Aditya Pancholi: ‘Beta, he's a Hindu'
Veteran actor Zarina Wahab has often addressed the smooth and rocky patches of her marriage with former co-star Aditya Pancholi. The two got married in 1987. She's five years older than him. They have two kids — daughter Sana Pancholi and actor-son Sooraj Pancholi. In a recent interview, Wahab recalled her wedding and first pregnancy. 'Nari Hira ji (former Stardust owner) was making a film. That's when I met him (Aditya). He was a very good looking boy. But there wasn't anything more to it. Then there was a shot in which he was supposed to cry. He kept crying so much that we had to pack up. When we were sitting in the car, I held his hand and said, 'Don't cry.' As soon as I held his hand, he held mine, and then we got married in 15 days (laughs),' said Wahab. In the interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, she recalled how she never thought she'd marry Aditya. 'He was five years younger than me. When we got married, people would say she's wooed such a handsome guy, he'd leave her in five days or five years. Now, it's been nearly 38 years,' added Wahab. 'I didn't want to Nari Hira ji's film. I was doing quite well then. But I thought if I say no, Stardust guys would feel bad. So I did it half-heartedly. And then got married within 15 days,' recalled Wahab. She clarified that there was no opposition from either side because it's an interfaith marriage. 'They didn't say anything. My family is very open-minded. My mother said, 'Beta, he's a Hindu.' I said, 'Maa, Hindu-Muslims are all the same. You say without Allah's wish, even a leaf can't be moved. Then Allah has taken such a big decision of my life. It's not me who took that decision, He did. 'Go ahead,' she said,' added Wahab. She also recalled how Aditya was very nice to her parents and they loved him too. 'My mother-in-law was a darling! My father-in-law was also very nice. They're both not there anymore.
