Background:

Karishma Kapoor practically was born with an acting DNA. Her family is arguably the most prominent family in the Hindi Film Industry scenario: the Kapoors.

Preceded by her aunt Sanjana Kapoor. Sashi Kapoor’s wife, and followed by her own sister, Bebo, or as we call her, Kareena Kapoor.

Controversy:

Here Lolo did a good job of hiding out from the ills. But that success got limited when the media broke into flames with news of her engagement to Abhishek Bachchan and later break up with the same; Next to this came up the other issue of another family rift. Apparently this side of the Kapoor bloc conveniently missed out Riddhima’s wedding. Riddhima is the daughter of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh and sister to Ranbir Kapoor.  This did end up souring the relationship between the two divisions of the Present Kapoor family.

Screen Time:

After her debut film with Harish she moved on to doing comedies that earned her many accolades; Andaz apna apna, Raja babu, Hero no. 1, etc. fall in this range. Fiza in 2000 saw a different Karishma.  Here she bowled out the viewers with her heavy acting skills. Dil toh pagal hai, and prior to that, Raja Hindustani, too got her many awards and nominations. Especially Raja Hindustani’s contribution to her career has been great as this movie got her the Filmfare award for best Actress.  She still is a mega-star all the way.

Early life and family:
Kapoor was born in Mumbai to Randhir Kapoor, an actor popular during the 1970s and 80s, and actress Babita. She is the granddaughter of actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor, great-granddaughter of actor Prithviraj Kapoor, grand-niece of actors Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor, sister of actress Kareena Kapoor, niece of actors Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor, and first-cousin of actor Ranbir Kapoor. Kapoor studied at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai until grade six.

Career:

Debut and early work (1991–1995):
Kapoor made her debut in the 1991 movie Prem Qaidi, which was a semi-hit. Although most of her multiple releases from 1992–1996 failed to do well at the box office, she had some success with films like Jigar (1992), Anari (1993), Raja Babu & Suhaag (1994), Coolie No. 1 & Gopi Kishan (1995), Saajan Chale Sasural & Jeet (1996) Judwaa & Hero No. 1 (1997).

Success and critical acclaim (1996–2002):
In 1996, Kapoor played the female lead in Dharmesh Darshan’s Raja Hindustani opposite Aamir Khan. The movie was the highest grossing film of the year and she won her first Filmfare Best Actress Award. The following year, she won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award and the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Yash Chopra’s super-hit, Dil To Pagal Hai opposite Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Kapoor took a year break from films in 1998. Her diminutive comeback in 1999 proved to be good as she took part in the year’s most successful films. Kapoor starred in four absolute hits. David Dhawan’s comedy Biwi No.1 opposite Salman Khan became the biggest hit of the year. She proved to have success with comedy films, as David Dhawan’s another film Haseena Maan Jaayegi did fairly well at the box office. Kapoor also collaborated for the first time with the Rajshri Productions banner with Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United which also resulted in a hit. Her last release, Jaanwar opposite Akshay Kumar, was another box office hit, making her the most successful actress of the year.

In 2000, she won her second Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in Khalid Mohammed’s Fiza. Her performance in the film was highly acclaimed and several critics noted her for showing great emotional range and depth. Mimmy Jain of The Indian Express, in a positive review, wrote, “As the young girl who is sick of the suspense and disruption that her brother’s disappearance has caused in her family’s life, as the obstinate daughter who will not listen to her mother’s plea to let her keep hoping for her son, as the determined sister who keeps on in her hunt for her brother despite all odds and then seeks to keep him on the right path, this is a new Karisma, and one that delivers a superbly flawless performance.”

In 2001, she achieved further critical acclaim for her portrayal of the title role in Shyam Benegal’s Zubeidaa. The Tribune complimented her by arguing that she “has surpassed herself as the passionate, defiant, wilful and troubled Zubeidaa, the truly modern woman.” For her work, she was awarded the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.

In 2002, she acted in Shakti – The Power. Kapoor’s performance was applauded with critic Taran Adarsh writing, “the power clearly belongs to Karisma Kapoor. Breathing fire and venom to win back her son from the clutches of a despot, the actress gives it all to the character of a helpless mother and proves what a virtuoso performer she is. Playing the part of a wounded tigress, this is one performance that overshadows all the performances the year has seen so far”. For her work, she earned several nominations in the Best Actress category.

After her film Baaz: A Bird in Danger and Karishma: The Miracle of Destiny, released in 2003, she took a sabbatical from full time acting for three years. In 2006, Kapoor was seen in two delayed films Mere Jeevan Saathi opposite Akshay Kumar and Ameesha Patel, in which she played a negative role, and Zamaanat starring alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Arshad Warsi.

Kapoor also voiced the role of Chhaya in the Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Bodyguard.

Return to films (2011–present):
In 2011, Kapoor officially announced she is returning to movies in Vikram Bhatt’s next, a 3D film titled Dangerous Ishhq. Her performance received mixed reviews. Komal Nahta commented: “Karisma Kapoor who makes a comeback is profiled in almost every possible manner and given almost every range of acting in this film. Directors notice please! So you have the age-defying mother of two in real life, hopping around in big heals, is eternally decked up with proper make-up and hair romancing, weeping, gun-totting, turning Punjabi, Rajasthani and even Islamic all with stressful accents throughout the film”. Times of india commented, “After long, Karisma Kapoor is reincarnated onscreen. Between panic-struck moments and over dramatic emotions, in almost every frame, she seems stuck in the 90s. There are moments of brief intensity where she performs well, but nothing that jumpstarts us back to life”. Kapoor will be featured in the remake of Satte Pe Satta opposite Sanjay Dutt which started filming in January 2012. Karisma Kapoor endorsed Babyoye.com, an online portal that sells baby care products, at Taj Lands End in Bandra.
