Actor Randhi Kapoor and actress Babita tied the knot back in the year 1971, and through them the Hindi film industry got to major leading ladies in Karishma and Kareena Kapoor.
But despite being one of the most iconic couples of Bollywood, the duo haven’t been living together for several years.
Randhi and Babita parted ways and started living separately many years ago, due to irreconcilable differences. Although they did not file for divorce and remain legally married, but they chose to not live together.

In a recent interview with Times Of India, Randhi Kapoor was heard speaking candidly about what led to these differences between them.
The 73 year old stated that it was because of his alcohol habits, habitual drinking and late-night routines, Babita decided that it was not what she wanted to live with and parted ways.
In the candid interview with TOI, he said, “She found that I was a terrible man who drank a lot and came home late, which was something she didn’t like. And I didn’t want to live the way she wanted, and she couldn’t accept me as I am, though it was a love marriage. So it’s okay. We had two lovely children to look after. She brought them up in the best way and they have excelled in their career. What else I could have asked for as a father?”.

Speaking on ‘divorce’ he further added:
“Divorce for what? Why should we head for divorce? I don’t intend to get married again, and nor does she.”
Despite the separation, two two have managed to maintain a cordial relationship and do get together on occasions, for the sake of their family and kids.
