Born on June 25, 1974 to legendary showman Raj Kapoor’s eldest son Randhir Kapoor and actress Babita, acting was in her blood. However, Karishma had to rebel against the entire Kapoor clan for pursuing her dream to become an actress (reportedly not allowed for any females in the family). Without any assistance from her family, with only her mother to support her, she started her journey with ‘Prem Qaidi’. The film was a hit and her acting was also appreciated. But she was severely criticised in the films that followed her debut film thanks to her made up voice and horrible looks.

But she was meant to make it big in the industry. After much introspection, she decided to work on her weak areas. With the help of designer Manish Malhotra, she transformed herself into a damsel and hit back at critics by winning the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her sizzling performance in ‘Raja Hindustani’. After that she never looked back.

Karishma is one of those few actresses who maintained a perfect balance between commercial and parallel cinema. She was as good in her comic and dance timing with mass hero Govinda as she was in unforgettable films like Shyam Benegal’s ‘Zubeida’. Like her predecessors Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, Karishma has been known for her acting skills as well as for her dance moves.
