The Kapoor sisters are known for their affection and endless support for each other. Elder sister Karisma reigned in 1990s Bollywood while Kareena has spent two decades in the industry. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Kareena stated that she often goes to Karisma for advice: “She’s somebody who doesn’t judge me for anything. She is somebody who loves me unconditionally.”

During Karisma’s public divorce from husband Sunjay Kapur back in 2016, Kareena stood by and protected her, telling Hindustan Times that “how I support my sister is no one’s concern”.

As they both juggle careers and motherhood nowadays, Karisma praised Kareena for setting an example for future generations. “Please have a private life, get married, have children and you can still be at the top of your game,” she told Filmfare.

Saif Ali Khan’s children share one of the strongest sibling bonds in B-town. While they often post goofy pictures together on social media, in an interview with India’s Elle magazine Sara confessed that the pandemic has brought them closer and that she goes to her brother for advice. “Ibrahim is the smarter one you know. It doesn’t seem like it, but he is,” she said, adding that he is also the more perceptive sibling and that she “takes his opinion on a lot of things”.
