Who would have imagined that so many years after Karisma vanished from the silver screen, a veteran of 75 films, almost as many looks and several awards, she would continue to capture the imagination of the public and an aggressive press.
This, after all, is the era of communication, knowledge and Karisma is a child, actually, of this digital generation, as evident in the fact that she was on her phone, texting messages right through this interview.
This is the age of multi-taskers and she is one of them. Her pictures waft around the electronic highway, even as she continues to make her private style statements. This works for her. The images on line stand out. Karisma in designer denims with a one-shouldered black top; Karisma in a white silver spangled one shouldered white sari (both by designer and protege, Karishma Trehan).
A neat black dress, avant-grade yet eternal. At a polo match, cheering her husband on in designer glares and Gucci bag, her long hair held up in a trademark high ponytail. These are portraits that are clean, clear, sharp, in a Bollywood over-laden with bling and spangle.
She has a model's figure that she puts down to good luck though she insists that she has (and probably controls) the Kapoor trait of love of good food. "The power yoga that Kareena goes, is too much for me. I prefer Pilates."
She has always been very fashion conscious, even as a child she knew exactly what she wanted. After all, she has been born in a blue-blooded home: Kareena Kapoor.
