Babita Kapoor (born 20 April 1947), also known simply as Babita,[1] is an Indian retired actress who appeared in Hindi-language films. She is the daughter of character actor Hari Shivdasani and the cousin of actress and her contemporary Sadhana Shivdasani.

Babita’s debut film was the successful drama Dus Lakh (1966), but it was the romantic thriller Raaz (1967), opposite Rajesh Khanna, that gained her recognition. From 1966 to 1973, she starred in nineteen films as the lead heroine, including the box office successes Farz (1967), Haseena Maan Jayegi, Kismat (both in 1968), Ek Shriman Ek Shrimati (1969), Doli (1969), Kab? Kyoon? Aur Kahan? (1970), Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971) and Banphool (1971). Following her marriage to actor Randhir Kapoor in 1971, she acted in Jeet (1972) and Ek Hasina Do Diwane (1972). Her subsequent release, Sone Ke Haath (1973) was an average success, after which she decided to leave her career and became a housewife.[3]
