When Karisma Kapoor revealed who is the biggest 'kanjus' among the Kapoors
Mumbai, June 7
During her appearance on 'The Kapil Sharma' show, actress Karisma Kapoor had once revealed who is the biggest 'kanjus' in the Kapoor family.
Karisma, who had appeared on the show with her father, Randhir Kapoor, was asked by host Kapil Sharma, "Which is the Kanjus Kapoor? Is Randhir sir Kanjus Kapoor?"
Reacting to the question, Karisma revealed that her father is extremely particular when it comes to spending money.
Explaining his mindset behind the behaviour, Randhir added, "Look, value for money, you must know."
When asked again if her father falls in the category of a kanjus, Karisma shared that he is not too fond of shopping.
"Like when we are going on a holiday to London. You know, everyone gets excited, right? We are going shopping. There are packets. When I ask him, "Papa, you went shopping?" he says, "Yes, I went. Then I went to eat," said the 'Biwi No. 1' actress.
Karisma shared that when she would ask her father about what all he got for himself, he would excitedly tell her that he got two pairs of socks.
As she would insist him to go shopping once again, this time he would come back with two pairs of socks and two handkerchiefs.
"He never spends on himself. Everyone else he would spend but himself," revealed Karisma.
Putting his point forward, Randhir concluded the conversation, saying, "What else does a man need - Socks, handkerchiefs, and ties, two to four shirts, and one or two pants."
Talking about Randhir's cinematic journey, after working as a child artist in his father Raj Kapoor's "Shree 420", he made his acting and directorial debut as a lead in the 1971 family entertainer, "Kal Aaj Aur Kal".
After that, he went on to become a part of some notable movies such as Jeet" (1972), "Jawani Diwani" (1972), "Raampur Ka Lakshman" (1972), and "Haath Ki Safai" (1974), naming just a few.

Honestly, Randhir Kapoor comes across as a sensible man. In today's world where everyone is spending left, right and center, his philosophy of 'value for money' is refreshing. Plus, Karisma did mention he spends on others - and that's the real test of character.
I knooow! The socks and handkerchiefs thing is literally my dad! But here's the thing - these are the people who built their wealth through discipline. We shouldn't mock them for being 'kanjus', we should learn from their mindset. 🙌
I love how comfortable Karisma and her father are with each other. Their bond is so evident. Also, it takes guts to call one's father 'kanjus' on national TV, but she did it with such love and respect. These Kapoor family dynamics are always entertaining!
Article toh theek hai but I wish they had focused more on Randhir ji's films. 'Kal Aaj Aur Kal' was a landmark movie with three generations of Kapoors. But I guess Bollywood gossip sells more than film history these days. Kya karein, time ka chakkar hai ⏰
My grandfather is exactly like this! He has a drawer full of socks and handkerchiefs from every trip. But you know what, when it comes to family weddings or helping someone in need, he opens his wallet without a second thought. Proud of our 'kanjus' dads! ❤️
