Mumbai, June 24: Karisma Kapoor, the beloved actress of the 90s, remains a prominent figure in Indian cinema for her films and style. A notable incident from her past often resurfaces, linking her to actor Shahid Kapoor. This event took place on the set of “Dil To Pagal Hai,” where Shahid was working as a background dancer. What happened on set that made Bollywood’s ‘Lolo’ furious? Let’s delve into the details.
Karisma Kapoor was born on June 25, 1974, in Mumbai. She hails from the esteemed Kapoor family, a significant name in Indian cinema. From a young age, she showed a keen interest in acting. However, entering the film industry was not considered easy due to family traditions at the time. Nevertheless, she decided to pursue acting as a career early on.
Karisma made her film debut in 1991 with “Prem Qaidi.” She appeared in several films, but her career took off with the 1996 hit “Raja Hindustani.” Her pairing with Aamir Khan was well-received, and the film became a massive success, catapulting her to stardom. Following this, she received numerous high-profile film projects, establishing herself as one of the leading actresses of her time.
In 1997, “Dil To Pagal Hai” further elevated her career. The film featured Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit alongside her.
