Karisma Kapoor's birthday is on the 25th of June. She was born in the year 1974. Karisma Kapoor's age is 48 years as of 2023.
Karisma Kapoor's birthplace is Mumbai. Karisma Kapoor's Father Randhir Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor’s Mother Babita both actors welcomed Karisma Kapoor into the world on June 25 1974. Kareena Kapoor Khan her younger sister is a movie actor as well. Her maternal grandfather was actor Hari Shivdasani and her paternal grandfather was actor and director Raj Kapoor. Actor Prithviraj Kapoor was her paternal great-grandfather. Her aunts are the actress Neetu Singh and the businesswoman Ritu Nanda while her uncles are the actor's Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor.
The actors Nikhil Nanda Armaan Jain and Ranbir Kapoor are among her first cousins. Her grand-uncles are the performers Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor and her mother's first cousin was the late actress Sadhana. At her home Kapoor is known as Lolo informally.
Karisma Kapoor claims that the name Lolo came about as a result of her mother making a stray comparison to the Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida. Her paternal and maternal grandparents who migrated to Bombay for their cinema careers prior to India's partition were both from Peshawar Lyallpur and Karachi respectively. On her mother's side Kapoor is of Sindhi Hindu and British ancestry and her father is of Punjabi Hindu ancestry.
Karisma Kapoor wed industrialist Sunjay Kapur the CEO of Sixt India on September 29 2003 in a prominent Sikh ceremony at her family's Mumbai house Krishna Raj Bungalow. Samaira a daughter was born to the couple in 2005 and Kiaan a son was born in 2010. The couple decided to divorce by mutual consent in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016. Karisma raised her children as a single mother.
Karisma Kapoor's personal life was difficult at least until her marriage to Sunjay Kapur ended which was followed by a contentious custody dispute. Sunjay had according to Karisma attempted to coerce her into having sex with his pals. When she resisted he thrashed her and even put a price tag on her for his friends to auction off. In addition Karisma claimed that Sunjay had broken his financial promises; in response Sunjay countered that Karisma had only married him for his wealth.
Karisma stated at one of the procedures that her then mother-in-law Rani had once given her a dress while she was pregnant. Sunjay requested Rani to smack Karisma after noticing that she couldn't fit inside the dress. According to Karisma Sunjay turned to face his mother and suggested "Why don't you simply slap her?" She further claimed that Sunjay led a philandering lifestyle that included cohabitating with a different woman. She stated that Sunjay was still having physical contact with his first wife when they were married and remembers his mother encouraging all of his wrongdoings.
In order to prove that the other party was an unfit parent Karisma and Sunjay had to air their dirty laundry in front of the court in order to win custody of their children. In 2016 the two were granted a divorce with Karisma receiving custody of Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor. While Sunjay was permitted to make sporadic visits.
The pair had submitted applications to revoke their consent to it in November 2015. The divorce between the pair was finalized in 2016. Both sides made disparaging claims against one another during their bitter divorce. In addition Karisma had accused Sunjay and his mother Rani of dowry harassment.

Karisma Kapoor’s first notable coupling was with Ajay Devgn her co-star in Jigar and Suhag. They reportedly became close and were really good friends while filming their movies.
The two began dating but Karisma discovered that Ajay had been cheating on her with another co-star Raveena. She always insisted that Ajay was only a close friend although there was talk of an affair between them. Because of Ajay Karisma and Raveena developed into arch rivals around that period but Ajay dumped both of them in favor of Kajol whom he ultimately married.
Few people are aware that Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor dated for over 5 years before getting engaged and eventually breaking it off. Nikhil Nanda the son of Ritu Nanda and Raj Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda are blessedly wed. Karisma and Abhishek first came into contact at Nikhil and Shweta's wedding in 1997.
The two quickly began dating. Being that Karisma was a well-known celebrity and Abhishek had just begun his career it was simple for them to conceal their connection. Only then did Kareena Karisma's younger sister star in their first movie Refugee in 2000 opposite Abhishek. In 2002 Karisma and Abhishek announced their engagement but later ended the relationship.
Both the Bachchans and the Kapoors never stated why they decided to call off the wedding however Jaya Bachchan did publicly admit that Abhishek was the only one who made the choice. In order to safeguard her daughter's future it was also reported that Babita requested a prenup in which Amitabh agreed to transfer some of his wealth into Abhishek's name. The Bachchans did not agree with this condition and Abhishek called off the wedding. Karisma married a wealthy man she found for her daughter Babita earlier than intended in September 2003.
Karisma Kapoor is the daughter of the Kapoor family the original dynasty of Bollywood and was born into affluence. She has experienced her fair share of hardships from making her Bollywood debut without a godfather to having her home destroyed by another lady to currently raising her children by herself.
Life was never simple for Karisma Kapoor because her parents split up when she was a very young age despite the fact that she was born into the Kapoor family to actor Randhir Kapoor. Babita Shivdasani the mother of Karisma Kapoor was a well-known actress in the 1960s and 1970s. Kareena Karisma's younger sister and her mother shared a home.
Babita raised both of her daughters by herself. Karisma once disclosed that in order to make ends meet her mother had to sell her jewelry. Despite being the founding family of Bollywood her family did not encourage her work.
Apart from Karisma and Kareena no other Kapoor daughter chose acting as a career because the family was adamant that women shouldn't work in the film industry especially as actresses. Karisma Kapoor was the first daughter of the Kapoor family to break the mold and become an actress in Bollywood. She caused a stir in the 1990s and early 2000s with her on-screen persona grin dance moves and acting prowess.
In 1991 at the age of sixteen and a half Kapoor made her acting debut in the romance drama Prem Qaidi alongside Harish Kumar who was also making his acting debut. After its initial run the movie had a mediocre box office performance and earned mixed reviews from reviewers. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama called Kapoor's acting mechanically.
The first five films Kapoor released the next year—Police Officer Jaagruti Nishchaiy Sapne Sajan Ke and Deedar—failed commercially. Her first two collaborations with Salman Khan were Jaagruti and Nishchaiy while her first one with Akshay Kumar was Deedar. She then appeared in the romance drama Anari (1993) and the action drama Jigar (1992) both of which were commercial successes and among the highest-grossing movies of all time.
In David Dhawan's popular comedy film Coolie No. 1 Kapoor plays Malti a wealthy woman who marries a lowly coolie (played by Govinda). The film received favorable reviews and became a commercial hit earning 911 million ($12 million) in India. She later reflected on her early professional difficulties by saying: When I initially entered the industry things were made harsh for me. I don't claim to have been picked out. Every star child in my opinion must experience this. Everyone treated me so unfairly.
In Dharmesh Darshan's Raja Hindustani opposite Aamir Khan Kapoor played the female lead. The success of the film established Kapoor as a leading actress in Hindi cinema and signaled a key turning point in her career.
The movie was the highest-grossing movie of the year and she earned her first Best Actress award. With worldwide sales of $765 million (US$10 million) Raja Hindustani was not only the largest economic triumph of 1996 but also one of the most successful movies ever made in India.
In 1997 Kapoor and David Dhawan collaborated on two films: the comedy Judwaa (starring Salman Khan and Rambha). The plot of the former which is about twin brothers who have split apart at birth and later reunite was similar to that of Gopi Kishan. Khan's characters' love interests were portrayed by Kapoor and Rambha. It had a mediocre level of critical and financial success.
Dil To Pagal Hai a musical romance directed by Yash Chopra was the fifth and last release of 1997 for Kapoor. The movie in which Shah Rukh Khan Madhuri Dixit and Akshay Kumar also appear tells the love lives of a group of musical dancers. Nisha a vivacious dancer who secretly falls in love with her best friend (played by Shah Rukh Khan) was a supporting character played by Kapoor.
She brought her and the girl he loves together (played by Madhuri Dixit). After several prominent actresses of the day turned down the role Chopra picked Kapoor (after being impressed by her performance in Raja Hindustani) despite her initial reluctance. At the box office Dil To Pagal Hai became a blockbuster and ended up being the year's highest-grossing movie. The National Film Award and Best Supporting Actress went to Kapoor for her performance.
Her modest comeback in 1999 was successful since she appeared in the highest-grossing movies of the year. Kapoor acted in four blockbuster films. After that she collaborated once more with Dhawan and Salman Khan for the romantic comedy Biwi No.1 in which she played Pooja a woman whose husband has an extramarital affair with a model. The movie saw significant commercial success and Kapoor's performance was praised by critics.

At the box office the movie became a semi-hit after earning a total of 878 million (US$12 million) worldwide.
Karisma Kapoor received more praise from critics for her portrayal of a real-life actress in the biographical play Zubeidaa 2001.

Taran Adarsh wrote in his review of Karisma Kapoor's performance in Shakti: The Power which received critical acclaim The power definitely belongs to Karisma Kapoor.
