In the labyrinthine world of Bollywood, where relationships intertwine and narratives unfold like a never-ending saga, there are moments that make us pause and ponder the what-ifs and could-have-beens. One such tale from the Kapoor clan vaults takes us back to a time when Ranbir Kapoor’s sister, the illustrious Karisma Kapoor, harbored hopes of a Kapoor-Kapoor union that would have set tongues wagging and headlines blazing! Karisma Kapoor, the elder sister and a Bollywood diva in her own right, had her sights set on a particular leading lady for her beloved brother.
According to a report in Bollywood Life, Karisma Kapoor harboured a secret desire for her brother Ranbir to tie the knot with none other than the vivacious and talented Sonam Kapoor. Yes, you read that right—the Kapoor scion wished for a Kapoor-Kapoor connection that would have undoubtedly been the talk of tinsel town! The revelation came to light during an episode of Karan Johar’s infamous chat show, where Sonam Kapoor, accompanied by Kareena Kapoor Khan, graced the couch. With Kareena expecting her first child, the conversation took an unexpected turn when Karan Johar quizzed Sonam about the possibility of her becoming Kareena’s sister-in-law. In response, Sonam Kapoor cheekily revealed, “I think Karisma (Lolo) constantly wants that, but I and Kareena are better friends.” The playful banter between Sonam and Karan Johar, coupled with the tantalizing prospect of a Kapoor-Kapoor connection, left audiences intrigued and entertained in equal measure.

While fate had other plans and Ranbir Kapoor eventually found love in Alia Bhatt, one can’t help but wonder what could have been if Karisma Kapoor’s wish had come true.
