He married the actress Babita, with whom he had two daughters, actresses Karisma and Kareena Kapoor.Kapoor was born on 15 February 1947 in Chembur, Bombay, Bombay Presidency, India to Punjabi parents. He is an alumnus of Colonel Brown Cambridge School, Dehradun. He belongs to the famous Kapoor family who have been part of the Hindi film industry since the late 1920s. He is the eldest son of Raj Kapoor and one of the grandsons of actor and producer Prithviraj Kapoor. His wife is actress Babita and his daughters are actresses Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor.
Randhir first appeared as a child artist in Shree 420 (1955) and Do Ustad(1959).He became assistant director with the film Jhuk Gaya Aasman starring Rajendra Kumar in 1968. Randhir Kapoor made his acting and directorial debut with Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971) which also starred his wife, father and grandfather. The film, produced under the R.K banner, was an average success.
Randhir married actress Babita on 6 November 1971 when he was just 24 after co-starring with her in Kal Aaj Aur Kal, as the couple fell in love during the shooting of this film. Their two daughters, Karisma Kapoor, born in June 1974, and Kareena Kapoor, born in September 1980, are Indian film actresses. The couple separated in 1988 as differences arose between the couple as Randhir's acting career slumped after 1983 and Babita wanted her daughter Karishma to be an actress. Babita left Randhir with her daughters. Although against his daughters becoming involved in acting, he eventually came around the idea and is supportive of their careers. The two reconciled in October 2007, having never divorced but lived separately for 19 years.
