Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a heartfelt birthday post on Instagram for her sister Karisma Kapoor, who turned 51. A beloved ’90s icon, Karisma is known for her standout roles and timeless fashion sense.
Kareena Kapoor Khan Pens a Heartfelt Note for Karisma
To mark the occasion, Kareena posted a heartfelt message along with an old photograph featuring Karisma and Saif Ali Khan. She wrote, “To the strongest and the bestest girl in the universe… It’s been a tough year for us… but you know what… as they say tough times don’t last… the toughest sisters do.” Kareena ended her post by calling Karisma her sister, mother, and best friend—revealing just how deep their bond runs.
Karisma Kapoor Turns 51 Amid Personal Grief
This birthday, however, was quieter than usual for Karisma. Just days before, she had to cope with the unexpected passing of her ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, due to a cardiac arrest. He passed away at the age of 51. Karisma, along with her children Samaira and Kiaan, travelled to Delhi for his funeral, which was held on June 19. Later, a prayer meet was organized, attended by close family, including Kareena and Saif.
Sunjay Kapur’s Passing and the Quiet Birthday
Despite their divorce in 2016, Karisma and Sunjay maintained a cordial relationship. She had custody of the children while Sunjay retained visitation rights. Their mutual respect never wavered. In fact, in 2023, Sunjay had posted photos from their daughter Samaira’s birthday celebration, which featured Karisma as well.
Nevertheless, Kareena’s public expression of affection brought a moment of warmth to an otherwise difficult time. Her Instagram tribute not only reflected their sisterhood but also stood as a reminder of the resilience both women carry.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Kareena continues to shine. She recently wrapped filming for “The Crew,” a highly anticipated comedy-drama co-starring Tabu and Kriti Sanon. Additionally, she will soon be seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s thriller “Jaane Jaan,” which promises to show a darker, more intense side of her acting. After her OTT debut received praise, Kareena seems eager to explore a range of genres and characters.
Karisma’s birthday was marked by personal sorrow, but Kareena’s tribute brought a moment of sisterly strength. Both sisters continue to inspire with their authenticity, mutual support, and graceful resilience.
