Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor fondly remembered her mother Babita’s famous songs, “Aao Huzoor Tumko” and “Kajra Mohabbat Wala.” She highlighted the challenges Babita faced while portraying an intoxicated character in “Aao Huzoor Tumko,” as it was unconventional during that era when intoxication by women was frowned upon by society. On the other hand, “Kajra Mohabbat Wala” stood out for its uniqueness as Babita performed in male attire, a rarity in the 1960s. Karisma also mentioned the enduring popularity of “Aao Huzoor Tumko,” which has been recreated multiple times and continues to captivate audiences of all ages.
Karisma Kapoor praised her mother’s successful stint in the Hindi cinema industry, spanning about seven years. She highlighted Babita’s collaborations with renowned actors like Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Manoj Kumar, Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor. Despite her success, Babita adhered to the Kapoor family’s tradition that discouraged women from pursuing careers in entertainment, leading her to exit the industry post-marriage to actor Randhir Kapoor. Karisma and her sister Kareena Kapoor, daughters of Babita and Randhir, have since established themselves as leading actresses in Bollywood.
