Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan marked her sister Karisma Kapoor’s 51st birthday with an emotional Instagram post that resonated deeply with fans and celebrities alike. The tribute comes at a time of personal grief for the Kapoor family, following the recent passing of Karisma’s ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur.
Sharing a cherished throwback photo of Karisma with her husband Saif Ali Khan, Kareena wrote, “This is my most favourite picture of you both. 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… To my sister, my mother, my best friend… Happy birthday My Lolo.”
The post, which quickly went viral, drew warm responses from industry colleagues. Malaika Arora commented, “Love u Lolo,” while Sonam Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar also extended birthday wishes. Ayushmann Khurrana responded with a heart emoji.
Karisma’s birthday comes just days after the funeral of her ex-husband, businessman Sunjay Kapur, who died of cardiac arrest while playing polo in the UK. The former couple, who divorced in 2016, shared two children—Samaira and Kiaan. Kareena and Saif were seen accompanying Karisma and her children to the funeral and prayer meet in Delhi.
The Kapoor family has faced additional challenges this year, including a burglary attempt at Kareena and Saif’s Mumbai residence, during which Saif Ali Khan was reportedly injured and required surgery.
Despite the somber backdrop, Kareena’s post served as a poignant reminder of the sisters’ enduring bond and resilience. Fans praised the message for its sincerity and strength, calling it a testament to sisterhood in the face of adversity.
