Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, a prominent figure in the 90s film industry, celebrates her birthday today. Born into the illustrious Kapoor family, Karisma carved out her own niche, becoming one of the leading actresses of her time. Despite stepping back from the limelight after her last film, “Dangerous Ishq,” in 2012, she continues to thrive both financially and personally.
Karisma’s career is marked by a series of blockbuster hits that secured her status as a leading actress. Films like “Raja Hindustani,” which earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress, and the critically acclaimed “Dil To Pagal Hai,” highlight her versatility and charm. Her performances have left an indelible mark on the Indian film industry.
Even though Karisma has not been active in recent film projects, her financial standing remains robust. Media reports estimate her assets to be worth approximately Rs. 85-90 crores. Her income comes from a variety of sources, including advertisements, modeling, and brand endorsements. Additionally, she holds a significant stake in Babyoye, a company specializing in baby products, and remains actively involved in several charitable initiatives. Karisma also contributes to the entertainment industry by judging television shows.
Karisma holds a unique place in the Kapoor family, being the first woman to break the family’s tradition of not participating in films. The Kapoor family, renowned for their strong principles and legendary contributions to Bollywood, had a long-standing norm where women did not act in movies. This tradition was observed even by the descendants of Raj Kapoor. However, Karisma, with unwavering support from her mother Babita, chose to follow her passion for acting. She left her studies to pursue a career in Bollywood, paving the way for future generations of women in her family.
Today, Karisma Kapoor focuses on raising her children as a single mother, dedicating herself to her family with the same passion and dedication that defined her film career.
