No doubt Karishma had a glamorous radiance and an electrifying charm ... But to me this stunning beauty someway got eclipsed by her contemporaries ... in beauty by Aishwarya and Madhuri and in acting performance by Kajol and Rani Mukerji...
Karishma made an acting debut in ' Prem Qaidi ' in 1991 which received a moderate response. Thereafter she acted in a number of films viz. Jigar, Anari, Raja Babu, Cooli no 1, Gopikishan etc. But she confirmed herself as an established actor from ' Raja Hindustani ' in 1996 and bagged her first film fare award for best actress. Immediately in 1997 she received National film award for best supporting actress for her role in ' Dil to Pagal Hai '
Thereafter Karishma demonstrated her great acting caliber in Fiza and Zubaida. The role in Fiza demanded portraying of range of emotions and Karishma put in a superb and flawless performance.
Apart from this Karishma's notable films are Andaz Apna Apna, Hero no 1, Biwi no 1, Hum Sath Sath Hai, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Janwar etc.
After her marriage in 2003, Karishma renounced the films. But recently I heard that she is staging a comeback.... that's great ! film lovers will definitely cherish the return of this versatile actress who can do comedy and melodrama with equal ease !
