In 90s many actresses in the industry delivered many successful films. However later on they became less active in films but they are still remembered for their iconic performances. The girl seen with her grandmother and aunt in the photo was one of those stars delivering consecutive blockbusters in the 90s and becoming the leading lady opposite nearly every major hero of that era. Yes we are talking about the gorgeous Karisma Kapoor who introduced the oomph factor into the glamour world with her dance numbers and impeccable acting skills.
Karisma was born into the illustrious family of superstars on June 25 1974 to actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor. Elder sister of Kareena Kapoor Khan she was one of the most popular and highest-paid actresses of 90s. She stepped into the world of glamour at the age of 16 making her debut in the 1991 romantic drama Prem Qaidi alongside Harish Kumar.
Late she starred in several successful films including Raja Babu Hero No. 1 Raja Hindustani Dil To Pagal Hai Biwi No. 1 Zubeidaa and more. Karisma had worked with some of the biggest superstars of Bollywood like Shah Rukh Khan Salman Khan Govinda Sunny Deol Aamir Khan and more.

In 2003 at the peak of her career Karisma decided to quit films and got married to industrialist Sunjay Kapur in Mumbai. The couple welcomed two children together daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Unfortunately their marriage didnt last long and the two got divorced in 2016. However before her marriage with Sunjay Karismas engagement was announced with Abhishek Bachchan during Amitabh Bachchans 60th birthday. However in January 2003 their engagement was called off which came as a big shock to their fans and whole film fraternity. Till date there is no clear explanation behind Kapoors and Bachchans rift that led to this surprising step.
In 2012 Karisma made a comeback in films. The actress starred in Vikram Bhatts Dangerous Ishhq alongside Rajneesh Duggal Jimmy Shergill and Divya Dutt. However the film didnt performed well both commercially as well as critically. In 2020 she made her OTT debut with ALT Balaji’s web series Mentalhood. Karisma Kapoor was last seen in the mystery thriller Murder Mubarak alongside Dimple Kapadia Sara Ali Khan Vijay Varma Pankaj Tripathi and others.
