Babita Shivdasani-Kapoor (born 20 April 1947), also known simply as Babita or Babita Kapoor,[1] is a former Indian actress who appeared in Hindi-language films. The daughter of actor Hari Shivdasani, she is the first cousin of her contemporary actress Sadhana Shivdasani. Her debut film was the successful drama Dus Lakh (1966), but it was the romantic thriller Raaz (1967), opposite Rajesh Khanna, that gained her recognition. From 1966 to 1973, she starred in nineteen films as the lead heroine, including the box office successes Dus Lakh (1966), Farz (1967), Haseena Maan Jayegi, Kismat (both in 1968), Ek Shriman Ek Shrimati (1969), Doli (1969), Kab? Kyoon? Aur Kahan? (1970), Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971) and Banphool (1971). Following her marriage to actor Randhir Kapoor in 1971, she acted in Jeet and Ek Hasina Do Diwane (both in 1972). Her subsequent release, Sone Ke Hath (1973) flopped and she decided to leave her film career. The couple has two daughters together, film actresses Karishma and Kareena.
Babita was born in Karachi to actor Hari Shivdasani, who was from a Sindhi Hindu family (settled in Bombay prior to and after the partition of India) and a British Christian mother, Barbara Shivdasani.[2] Her sister, Meena Advani, was her costume designer in the 60s and was instrumental in making her a fashion icon. After marriage, her sister is now the owner of Powermaster Engineers Private Limited and Power-master tools Private Limited.[3] The iconic actress Sadhana Shivdasani was her paternal cousin and contemporary.[4]
Babita fell in love with Randhir Kapoor, while working with him in the film Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971). They married in a lavish ceremony on 6 November 1971.[6] They have two children, actresses Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor.[7][8][9] In the 1980s, Randhir's career as an actor started to decline and things soured between them. She and Randhir lived in separate homes for several years, even though they were still legally married and had no intention of divorcing. The couple reunited in 2007 after living separately for several years.[6]
