When Kareena Kapoor gave a befitting reply to rumours and gossip during Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur’s divorce proceedings: ‘How I support my sister…’

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor have always been close sisters. Over the years, they’ve supported each other through life’s highs and lows. One such moment came in 2016, when Karisma was going through a very tough time in her personal life. Her divorce from Sunjay Kapur was still in process, and many reports and rumours were doing rounds.

Even though their father, Randhir Kapoor, had openly spoken about the matter, Kareena decided to take a different route. She kept quiet for a long time and only once spoke about the issue in a calm but firm way.

Kareena’s support for Karisma

In a past interview with Hindustan Times, Kareena finally shared her thoughts, but without going into details or adding to the drama. She said, “It is such a personal thing. Both Karisma and I haven’t spoken about it at all. How I support my sister is no one’s concern,” adding, “I’m very happy that people are concerned about her, because she is a public figure, and I respect that. But people are also writing 500 versions of the matter (Karisma’s personal life), when no one knows the truth.”

Strong message about personal space

Kareena also shared her view about how people should respect a celebrity’s private life and not turn it into gossip. She made her position very clear by saying, “My father had spoken about the matter because he was angry. But I haven’t commented on it and will not.”

Karisma and Sunjay’s divorce

Karisma’s journey during that period was not easy. The divorce proceedings with Sunjay Kapur were dragging on, and many painful stories were being written and shared in public. But Kareena stood like a rock beside her sister and didn’t let the outside noise affect their bond.

Sunjay Kapur’s demise

Last month, Sunjay Kapur passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack while playing polo in Windsor, England. Reports said that a bee flew into his mouth during the match, which may have led to the heart attack.

Karisma attended the funeral in Delhi with her children, and Kareena was right there beside her, offering comfort and support. She was seen at the funeral with her husband, Saif Ali Khan, standing by Karisma in her time of grief.
