In a heartfelt episode of Indian Idol, Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor was visibly moved by contestant Mahima’s emotional tribute to her legendary grandfather, Raj Kapoor. Dressed as Raju the Joker from the iconic film Mera Naam Joker, Mahima’s performance touched the veteran actress deeply.
Karisma, who appeared as a guest judge on the show, fought back tears as Mahima sang “Jeena Yahan, Marna Yahan,” a song synonymous with Raj Kapoor’s cinematic legacy. Overwhelmed, Karisma expressed, “The lyrics of this song are what we are. Whatever we are today is thanks to this great man.”
The promo for the upcoming episode has created anticipation among fans, eager to witness the emotional tribute to the Kapoor family. Even judge Shreya Ghoshal was visibly moved by the powerful performance.
Raj Kapoor, a Bollywood icon and the son of Prithviraj Kapoor, left an indelible mark as one of the industry’s biggest superstars. As a producer and director, he founded RK Films, known for classics like Barsaat, Awaara, and Shree 420. Karisma Kapoor’s father, Randhir Kapoor, is the son of Raj Kapoor, and he himself had a successful acting career.
While Karisma has taken a step back from films in recent years, her notable projects include the 2020 web series Mentalhood. Audiences are eagerly awaiting her appearance in Homi Adajania’s Murder Mubarak alongside Sara Ali Khan and the upcoming web series Brown directed by Abhinay Deo. The emotional episode on Indian Idol promises to be a memorable tribute to the Kapoor family’s cinematic legacy.
