Karisma Kapoor Biography
Born
to one of the most illustrious family of Bollywood one thought Karishma
Kapoor, daughter of Babita and Randhir Kapoor, had a silver spoon to
her privilege and all doors would open to her automatically.
Only
Karishma and her fans know what it took for her to reach where she is
today. Hardwork, patience, pitfalls, perseverance, she has seen and
gone through them all.
Karishma's career started with prancing
along seashores and trees to mundane numbers opposite a small-time
hero. Under the guidance of mother Babita, an actress of consequence
herself, Karishma improved on her acting, dialogue delivery and dance
skills, catapulting herself into a league where she could work in
better films.
Exploitative that the film industry is, Lolo, as
she is fondly addressed, wasn't spared from taking the brunt. There
were vulgar dance numbers, revealing clothes and the rest of the
publicity gimmicks that Karishma did which probably otherwise she would
not have looked at. She was ambitious and wanted to prove to the world
of her capabilities, so she waited with patience.
Her
perseverance paid off. Today Karishma is an actress of reckoning and a
star in her own right. Every bit of this achievement goes to her hard
work and determination. On the event of her younger sister's entry into
films, 25-year-old Karishma already relaxes and basks in the glory of
her achievements.
A multifaceted actress, the pair of
Karishma-Govinda gave several hits. But it was in 'Raja Hindustani’
that one saw a shift in Karishma's performance. So power-packed was she
in the film that it immediately fetched her the Filmfare's Best Actress
award for 1996, apart from being the biggest hit of that year.
