Karisma Kapoor is an Indian film actress who has appeared in Hindi films. She made her acting debut at the age of seventeen with the romance Prem Qaidi in 1991, which was a box office hit.[1][2] From 1992–1996; she featured in several highly successful films, including the dramas Jigar (1992), Anari (1993), Raja Babu and Suhaag (1994), the comedies Coolie No. 1 (1995), Gopi Kishan (1995) and Saajan Chale Sasural and the action thriller Jeet (1996), the later of which paired her with Salman Khan and Sunny Deol. Despite appearing in the commercially successful films, she was criticized for playing smaller parts of the love-interests in male-dominated films.

Kapoor then established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with the romantic drama Raja Hindustani (1996), co-starring Aamir Khan. The film earned her praise from critics and the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. The following year, she received widespread recognition as well as the National Film Award and Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for portraying a headstrong dancer opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the Yash Raj's produced musical romance Dil Toh Pagal Hai. Subsequently, she played leading roles in several of the years blockbuster films, including the comedies Hero No.1 (1997) and Biwi No.1 (1999), the ensemble family drama Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), and the romantic comedy Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000). Her acclaimed performance of a disillusioned sister of Hrithik Roshan's character in the terror drama Fiza (2000), won her a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress. The following year, she portrayed the real life actress Zubeida Begum in the biographical drama Zubeidaa (2001), which earned her a second Best Actress award at Filmfare. Later in 2002, she portrayed a troubled daughter-in-law in the revenge-seeking war drama Shakti: The Power.
In 2003, Kapoor married businessman Sanjay Kapur and took sabbatical from films, though she appeared in Sahara One's television series Karishma – The Miracles of Destiny (2003–2004) and judged various reality shows, including the celebrity dance show Nach Baliye (2008–2009), during the time. In 2011, she provided her voice for the role of Chhaya in the action thriller Bodyguard, which ranks among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time. She made her comeback to films with the period drama Dangerous Ishq (2012)–in which she played four different characters, belonging to four different centuries–the film and her performance received mixed reviews. After the release of Dangerous Ishq, she again took sabbatical from films.
