Bollywood’s Karisma

Karisma Kapoor also known as Lolo is one of the best actresses in Bollywood. She’s the first girl to defy the Kapoor family tradition and enter Bollywood as those females born within the Kapoor family stayed away from the big screen. Born on 25 June 1974 in Mumbai she has had acting in her family for generations. Coming from the family lineage of great stars, she is the daughter of the famous actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita. She’s the great granddaughter of Prithviraj Kapoor and the granddaughter of Raj Kapoor.

Her family consists of celebrities Rishi, Rajiv, Ranbir, Riddhima, Sister Kareena Kapoor and Nilkhil Nanda who’s married to Shweta Bachchan. Insipired by Nargis and Meena Kumari when growing up, she and her sister always dreamed of acting. Randhir opposed this which caused a rift between Babita and him. This led to a separation leaving Babita with the responsibility of raising their daughters alone.

Karisma was romantically linked with actors Ajay Devgan and Abhishek Bachchan but married indulstrialist Sanjay Kapur in 2003. The couple has a daughter Samaira and a second child on the way.

Karisma began her movie career with the movie Prem Qaidi in 1991. She became recognized as more than being just eye candy in her movie after the super success of Raja Hindustani in 1996. Some of her hit films were: Jigar, Anari, Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Saajan Chale Sasural, Jeet, Dil To Pagal Hai, Biwi No. 1, Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Jaanwar, Fiza and Zubeidaa. She was also seen on T.V. in Karishma on Sahara Channel and Nach Baliye 4 as a judge. Although Karisma’s career seems to be going through a slump she seems unfazed by it and is enjoying domestic bliss as well as her time away from the big screen.
