The Kapoor sisters, Karisma and Kareena, are family-oriented people, and never shy away from showering love and praise on their family members on their social media handles. Be it festivals or birthdays, the Kapoor clan celebrates every little occasion together and share glimpses of their happy moments with their fans.
