Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
gets
EMOTIONAL
after
hearing
about
RK
Studios
|

Last
year
in
September,
a
major
fire
broke
out
on
the
sets
of
a
dance
reality
show,
leaving
a
section
of
the
iconic
RK
studio
gutted.
Hence,
the
Kapoor
family
has
taken
the
tough
decision
of
selling
the
two
acre
RK
Studio
70
years
after
it
was
established
as
it
was
not
economically
viable
to
rebuild
it.
R.K.
Studio,
the
headquarters
of
the
film
production
company
R.K.
Films,
was
founded
and
named
after
the
Great
Showman,
Raj
Kapoor,
in
1948.
His
granddaughter,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
who
has
been
under
the
weather
for
a
few
days,
told
IANS,
"I
don't
know
how
far
what
is
actually
happening.
In
fact,
I
have
been
quite
under
the
weather
and
I
haven't
even
met
my
father
in
the
last
four
or
five
days...
But
of
course,
we
have
all
grown
up
walking
around
in
those
corridors."
"I
think
it's
probably
something
that
the
family
has
decided,
so
it's
upto
my
fathers,
his
brothers
and
up
to
them...
If
that's
what
they
have
decided,
so
be
it,"
added
the
actress
on
the
sidelines
of
the
Lakme
Fashion
Week,
where
she
was
the
showstopper
for
the
finale
show.
Rishi
Kapoor,
in
an
interview
to
Mumbai
Mirror
on
behalf
of
the
family,
said
they
were
initially
juggling
with
the
idea
of
renovating
the
place
with
state-of-the-art
technology,
but
the
investment
in
rebuilding
the
studio
would
just
not
have
yielded
sufficient
revenue
to
keep
it
going.
He
called
it
a
"level
headed
decision".
Did
you
know
that
the
famous
studio
also
held
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Neetu
Singh's
marriage
(1980)
functions
for
a
good
20
days,
including
the
reception?
Last
year,
when
the
fire
took
over
the
studio,
Rishi
Kapoor
had
tweeted
that
studio
can
be
built
again
but
the
loss
of
the
irreplaceable
memorabilia
and
costumes
of
all
RK
Films
is
tragic
for
all.
