In an exclusive chat with Zoom, Karisma said, “For me, it was always about the love of acting rather than fitting into the framework of being a star. Of course, in the beginning, you’re always learning, growing, and wanting to prove yourself. But beyond a point, it’s also about artistic satisfaction. So yes, definitely, when I got the opportunity, when my fans and filmmakers saw the talent, and I was offered films like Fiza, Zubeidaa, and Shakti, I genuinely wanted to do them. That excited me at the time.”
