Karisma Kapoor refutes claims of acting restrictions on Kapoor women

Actor Karisma Kapoor recently refuted rumours regarding Kapoor women and how they weren’t allowed to work, especially after marriage.

Speaking on comedian Zakir Khan’s show, Aapka Apna Zakir, Karisma said that there is no truth to such reports and said the women who didn’t work did it voluntarily.

The actor said, “Yeh sab baatein hain ki mujhe allow tha yaa nahi tha. Jab meri mummy ki shaadi hui aur Neetu aunty ki shaadi hui, unka choice tha ki unko ghar basana tha, bachche karne the aur career achha tha unka. Unka choice tha (All these discussions about whether I was allowed or not are just baseless rumours. When my mother and Neetu aunty got married, it was on their own terms because they wanted to focus on starting a family and having children, as their careers were already well-established).”

“Similarly, Shammi uncle and Shashi uncle’s wives, Geeta Bali ji and Jennifer aunty, unhone kaam kiya shaadi ke baad. Toh aisa kuch baat hai nahi ki Kapoor family mein shaadi ke baad kaam nahi kar sakte yaa Kapoor ladki kaam nahi kar sakti (Geeta Bali ji and Jennifer aunty continued working after marriage. So, it’s not true that in the Kapoor family, you can’t work after marriage or that Kapoor women aren’t allowed to work. There was no restriction of that kind),” Karisma concluded.
