Learn More About Karishma:

Born on...June 25, 1974

Height...5'4"

Weight...50 kg. And it has been steady. I can eat anything and as much as I want. I just don't put on weight.

Family...What more can I say about the Kapoors than is already known?

Schooling...My initial years were at Cathedral and John Connan High School in Fort. After I did my CBSE, I joined Sophi College for FYJC (Arts). Then I left.

Nicknames...I have several of them. But Lolo is the most common one. Relatives on my mother's side call me Lolima. Some call me Lola. Actually all the distortions of Lolo are my nicknames.

Nature...By nature I'm an introvert but I try and pretend to be an extrovert. It works at times an it doesn't sometimes. Basically I like to be left again.

Believes in...God, my mother and my work.

Superstitious about...Cat crossing the road, keeping one shoe upside down, passing under a ladder...the list is endless!

Dreams...It's the action replay of the happenings during the day. Even if I've seen a film, I see it all over again in my dreams.

Early to bed...yes, and late to rise.

Parties...I'm not a party bird. In fact, I avoid them as much as possible. I love to go to bed early. I like to go to sleep watching the TV or listening to soft music.

Her moods...I'm very moody, but in a positive way. I just don't communicate with people if I'm feeling disturbed. My worst mood is in the morning just ater I've woken up. I drive everyone up the wall with my high-strung behavour. I want everything in a jiffy. My staff and family hates me in the mornings.

Driving force...I know it's kind of boring to say this but it's my work that keeps me going!

Desires...to be an independent woman. I want to make a name as a woman of substance. My dream is to get into business later but it has to be something connected to films. I have to be in this film industry, whatever I do!

When free...I love dancing and that's what I do whenever I'm free. I put on the music in my room and dance till I fall down! My mother often screams from outside asking me to open the door.

Issues she feels strongly about...Orphans and the film industry. I want all the orphans in the world to have a home. and I want the film industry to achieve the status of an independent industry.

Friends...I have very few friends but what comforts me is that they never sit on judgement as far as I am concerned. They care for me and will do anything for me.

The last time she was depressed...just a few hours ago. It doesn't take long to depress me. But I get over it as quickly too!

When depressed...I eat a lot. I stuff myself with lots of ic-cream, chocolates. I indulge myself until I feel nice and snap out of my depression!

Nostalgic about...My childhood, my grandfather and my first film.

Terrified about...Nothing in the world scares me more than cockroaches! If you want to know my secrets, all you need to do is threaten me with a cockroach (even a dead one!) and I'll spill everything!

Hates...People who disrespect their work, whatever it may be!

Strives for...Perfection. And to me that means doing everything that I do with maximum honesty and dedication. I may not be the best, but if I give my best, I think that's enough. I also strive to be a good human being.

Passionate about...My work, what else?
