Karisma faced comments like "light-eyed actresses won't become stars," but her determination and hard work proved those skeptics wrong.

Reflecting on their different career trajectories, Kareena acknowledged the pioneering role her sister played. "We kind of had different paths," she concluded, emphasizing the diversity of their cinematic choices.
Karisma Kapoor's journey began at the tender age of seventeen with the 1991 film "Prem Qaidi." She went on to star in a string of popular films, etching her name in the annals of Bollywood history. After a brief hiatus following the 2003 TV show "Karishma: The Miracles of Destiny," she made a comeback in 2012 with "Dangerous Ishhq." In recent years, she has been focusing on quality over quantity.
Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan is gearing up for her online streaming debut in "Jaane Jaan," slated for release on September 21 on Netflix.
