Kareena does come across as a cold-hearted person. Again thanks to the privileges of being a star kid, she truly gives an impression of an elitist snob. Her mother Babitha was quite a manipulative person. I had heard stories of how greedy and money hungry she was and she had pushed her daughter Karisma in to acting by breaking the rules of the Kapoor household (that women of the household cannot act in movies). After she and Randhir parted ways, i don't think she even allowed her daughters to mingle with the other members of the family back then including their cousins (until some 10 -12 years back). I believe Babitha was also responsible for the break up of Junior B - Karisma's wedding. She had shown her manipulative side in front of Jaya and AB by demanding a huge sum of money. Later, Karisma went ahead and married Sanjay Kapoor a womanizer and eventually got divorced. Sigh, Kareena's inherited all the worst qualities from her mother.
