Karisma Kapoor was born on 25 June 1974[1] inMumbai, to actorsRandhir Kapoor andBabita (née Shivdasani). Her younger sister,Kareena Kapoor, is a film actress who is married to actorSaif Ali Khan.[2] Her paternal grandfather was the actor and filmmakerRaj Kapoor, while her maternal grandfather was actorHari Shivdasani. Her paternal great-grandfather was actorPrithviraj Kapoor.[3] The actorsRishi Kapoor andRajiv Kapoor are her uncles, while the actressNeetu Singh is her aunt. Her first cousins is the actorRanbir Kapoor and the businessmanNikhil Nanda. The actorsShammi Kapoor andShashi Kapoor are her grand-uncles, and the late actressSadhana was her mother's first cousin.[4][5]
Kapoor is informally called as "Lolo" at her home. According to Kapoor, the name Lolo was derived after her mother made a passing reference to the Italian actressGina Lollobrigida.[6] Her paternal and maternal grandparents were fromPeshawar,Lyallpur andKarachi respectively, who moved toBombay for their film careers before thepartition of India.[7] Kapoor is ofPunjabi descent on her father's side, and on her mother's side she is ofSindhi andBritish descent.[1][8]
Particularly inspired by the work of actressesSridevi andMadhuri Dixit, Kapoor was keen on pursuing acting since childhood. While growing up, Kapoor regularly attended award ceremonies and accompanied her parents to film sets.[9][10] However, despite her family background, her father disapproved of women working in films, because he believed it conflicted with the traditional maternal duties and responsibility of women in the family.[11][12] This led to a conflict between her parents and they separated in 1988. She and her sister Kareena were raised by their mother, who worked several jobs to raise them, until she made her debut in films as an actress.[13] The couple reconciled in 2007, after living separately for several years.[14] Kapoor studied at theCathedral and John Connon School,Mumbai, and later, for a few months, atSophia College for Women,Mumbai. Kapoor later said that she left college to pursue acting for financial support.[15]
Kapoor made her acting debut in 1991 at the age of 16 with the romantic dramaPrem Qaidi, opposite debutantHarish Kumar.[16] Upon release, the film emerged as a moderate box office success and received mixed reviews from critics, as did Kapoor's performance, withTaran Adarsh ofBollywood Hungama describing it as "mechanical".[17] The following year, Kapoor's first five releases—Police Officer,Jaagruti,Nishchaiy,Sapne Sajan Ke andDeedar—flopped at the box office.[18][19]Sapne Sajan Ke earned her a nomination forFilmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[20]Jaagruti andNishchaiy marked her first two collaborations withSalman Khan, whileDeedar marked her first collaboration withAkshay Kumar.[21] She next starred in the action dramaJigar (1992), followed by the romantic dramaAnari (1993), both of which emerged as box office hits and among the highest-grossing films of their respective years.Jigar marked Kapoor's first of several collaborations withAjay Devgn, whileAnari featured her in the leading role of Rajnandini, a princess who falls in love with her poor servant (played byDaggubati Venkatesh).[22][23]
Kapoor's next four releases of 1993 were the dramasMuqabla (which marked first of her many collaborations withGovinda),Sangraam,Shaktiman andDhanwaan.[24][25] With the exception ofMuqabla, none of these films performed well either critically or commercially.[26][27] In 1994, Kapoor had nine film releases – four of them —Prem Shakti,Dulaara,Andaz andAatish — were critical and commercial failures.[28] Her first hit that year was David Dhawan's comedy filmRaja Babu, opposite Govinda, in which she played Madhubala, an educated arrogant girl who calls off her engagement upon discovering her fiancée's illiteracy.[29][30] Kapoor next played the blind wife of Govinda's character in the hit action dramaKhuddar, following which she starred with Salman Khan,Aamir Khan andRaveena Tandon in Rajkumar Santoshi's acclaimed comedy filmAndaz Apna Apna. Kapoor played Raveena Bajaj, the daughter of a London-based business tycoon, who travels to India in search of true love, and falls forSalman Khan's character. Although the film underperformed at the box office, it developed a significant cult following over the years since its release.[31][32]
Kapoor's final two releases of the year were the action dramaSuhaag (alongside Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar andNagma) and the comedy-dramaGopi Kishan (alongsideSuniel Shetty andShilpa Shirodkar), both of which were critically and commercially successful.[33] In the former, she starred as a college student and Devgn's love interest, while in the latter, she played a police commissioner's daughter who falls in love with a criminal.[34][35][36] In 1995, after appearing in the box office flopsJawab andMaidan-E-Jung,[37][38] Kapoor starred as Malti, a rich girl who marries a poor coolie (played by Govinda) inDavid Dhawan's blockbuster comedy filmCoolie No. 1.[39] The film garnered positive reviews and emerged as a commercial success, grossing₹911 million (US$11 million) in India.[40] It later gained a cult following.[41] On her initial career struggle, she later said:
When I first entered the industry, things were made tough for me. I am not saying that I was singled out. I think every star kid has to go through this. Everyone was so unfair to me. Other newcomers were praised for every little achievement, but I was not given an iota of acknowledgement. When it came to me, it was always, 'Okay, she has done well, but what's the big deal about her?'. Nobody gave a 17-year-old credit for doing my job reasonably well.[17]
In 1996, Kapoor appeared in 10 films. Five of them —Papi Gudia,Megha,Bal Bramhachari,Sapoot andRakshak — were commercially unsuccessful.[42][43][44] Her next release was David Dhawan's romantic comedySaajan Chale Sasural, co-starring Govinda and Tabu.Saajan Chale Sasural emerged as a commercial success.[45] For her fifth release, Kapoor was paired oppositeSuneil Shetty in S. Deepak's box office hitKrishna.[46] She starred alongside Sunny Deol, Salman Khan and Tabu in Raj Kanwar's romantic dramaJeet. She played Kajal, a woman who falls in love with a criminal, but ends up marrying another man. Finishing up as the second highest-grossing film of the year,Jeet emerged as a "super-hit" at the box office.[47] Critical reaction was positive on both the film as well as Kapoor's performance.[48]
That same year, Kapoor starred inDharmesh Darshan's romantic dramaRaja Hindustani oppositeAamir Khan, in which she played a rich, beautiful heiress who falls for a lowly guide and driver. A modern-day remake ofJab Jab Phool Khile (1965), the film emerged as the highest-grossing film of the year[49] and won Kapoor her firstFilmfare Award for Best Actress. Reviewing her performance forIndia Today,Anupama Chopra described Kapoor as a "revelation" and "the lifeblood of this otherwise banal film."[50] The film's success established Kapoor as a leading actress of Hindi cinema, and marked a significant turning point in her career.[51]Raja Hindustani was not only the biggest commercial success of 1996, but also one of the most successful films of all time inIndia with worldwide revenues of₹765 million (US$9.0 million).[52][53] Kapoor's final release of 1996 was Suneel Darshan's action filmAjay, withSunny Deol. The film was also a financial success.[54]
In 1997, Kapoor re-united withDavid Dhawan for two projects, the comedy filmJudwaa (alongside Salman Khan and Rambha), and the romantic comedyHero No. 1 (opposite Govinda).[55] The former's concept was similar toGopi Kishan – it tells the story of twin brothers who are separated at birth and re-unite in their youth. Kapoor and Rambha played the love interests of Khan's characters. InHero No. 1, she played Meena Nath, a girl who falls in love with Govinda's character despite facing disapproval from her strict grandfather (played byParesh Rawal).[56] Both films were critically and commercially successful, and Kapoor gained praise for her comedic timing.[57] She eventually received a nomination for theZee Cine Award for Best Actress forHero No. 1.[58] She next starred in the Mehul Kumar-directed dramasLahu Ke Do Rang andMrityudata, both of which were critical and commercial failures.[59][60]
Kapoor's fifth and final release of 1997 wasYash Chopra's musical romantic dramaDil To Pagal Hai. Co-starringShah Rukh Khan,Madhuri Dixit andAkshay Kumar, the film depicts the love lives of the cast and crew in a musical dance troupe.[61] Kapoor played Nisha, a bubbly dancer who secretly falls in love with her best friend (played by Khan), who unites with the girl he loves (played by Dixit). Initially hesitant to take on the supporting role, Kapoor was cast by Chopra (who was impressed by her work inRaja Hindustani) after several leading actresses of the time had rejected it.[62]Dil To Pagal Hai emerged as a blockbuster at the box office and proved to be the highest-grossing film of the year.[63] Kapoor received widespread praise for her portrayal, and she eventually won theNational Film Award andFilmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.[64][65]
Kapoor's diminutive comeback in 1999 proved to be good as she took part in the year's most successful films. Kapoor starred in four hits. She next re-united with Dhawan andSalman Khan (alongsideSushmita Sen) for the romantic comedyBiwi No.1, in which she portrayed Pooja, a woman whose husband gets involved in an extra-marital affair with a model.[66][67] The film, which emerged as a major commercial success, earned Kapoor critical praise for her performance. Kapoor received a second Best Actress nomination at Filmfare for her work in the film.[68] She proved to be successful with comedy films, as another of David Dhawan's filmsHaseena Maan Jaayegi, did fairly well at the box office.[69] Kapoor collaborated for the first time with theRajshri Productions for the family dramaHum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United, oppositeSaif Ali Khan.[70] The film featured an ensemble cast (Mohnish Behl,Salman Khan,Sonali Bendre andTabu), proving to be one of the biggest Hindi film successes of all time in the market, earning₹817 million (US$9.7 million) worldwide.[71] Alok Kumar stated, "Karisma doesn't have much to do, but looks good in doing whatever she does."[72] Her last release of the year,Jaanwar, oppositeAkshay Kumar, was another box office hit, making her the most successful actress of the year.[73][74]Silsila Hai Pyar Ka was her other film of the year.[75]

She played Sapna, a girl who falls for Khan's character while on a foreign trip, however, she finds it tough to convince her three uncles of this relationship.[76] The film finished up as one of the biggest hits of the year. Aparajita Saha ofRediff commented: "Karisma Kapoor and Salman Khan elicit more than their fair share of cat-calls in the movie and make a delectable pair. Both are in form – Karisma kapoor looks glamorous and at ease while Salman khan has perfected the lost-boy-muscle-man get-up".[77] Kapoor's next two releases, the romantic comediesChal Mere Bhai (opposite Khan and Dutt) andHum To Mohabbat Karega (oppositeBobby Deol) failed to do well at the box office.[78][79]
That same year, Kapoor won her second Filmfare Award for Best Actress,[80] for portraying the title role of a disillusioned girl in search of her brother, inKhalid Mohammed's acclaimed crime dramaFiza.[81] Cast against type in a non-glamorous role, her performance was highly applauded, several critics noted her for showing great emotional range and depth. Mimmy Jain ofThe Indian Express, in a positive review, wrote: "As the young girl who is sick of the suspense and disruption that her brother's disappearance has caused in her family's life, as the obstinate daughter who will not listen to her mother's plea to let her keep hoping for her son, as the determined sister who keeps on in her hunt for her brother despite all odds and then seeks to keep him on the right path, this is a new Karisma, and one that delivers a superbly flawless performance."[82][83][74] The film emerged as a "semi-hit" at the box office with a worldwide gross of₹878 million (US$10 million).[84]
In 2001, she achieved further critical acclaim for her portrayal of an ill-fated actress in the biographical dramaZubeidaa.[85] Directed byShyam Benegal, the film was based on the life ofZubeida Begum, who marriedHanwant Singh.The Tribune complimented her by arguing that she "has surpassed herself as the passionate, defiant, wilful and troubled Zubeidaa, the truly modern woman."[86] In an interview withRediff she explained: "I have been here so long, I have done everything. lead roles, supporting roles, everything. How do I grow as a performer? If I keep doing commercial cinema, I will stagnate and I wanted to grow".[87] For her work, she won theFilmfare Critics Award for Best Actress and garnered a Best Actress nomination at the ceremony.[88] Co-starringRekha andManoj Bajpai, the film had worldwide earnings of over₹239.552 million (US$2.8 million).[89] She next starred alongside Bobby Deol andRahul Dev inIndra Kumar'sAashiq – the movie received little praise from critics, though it proved to be a modest success, grossing over₹260 million (US$3.1 million) domestically.[90][91] Suneel Darshan's social dramaEk Rishtaa: The Bond of Love was Kapoor's next release. Co-starringAmitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar, the film became one of the biggest hits of the year.[92][93]

Breathing fire and venom to win back her son from the clutches of a despot, the actress gives it all to the character of a helpless mother and proves what a virtuoso performer she is. Playing the part of a wounded tigress, this is one performance that overshadows all the performances the year has seen so far".[97] Kapoor's work in the film earned her Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies, including a fifth nomination at Filmfare.[98] Her final release that year wasIndra Kumar's romantic dramaRishtey, alongsideAnil Kapoor andShilpa Shetty. She featured as Komal, a wealthy woman who falls in love with a poorer man and marries him against her father's wishes.

Kapoor played four characters, one from each century.[110] A major critical and box office failure, the film generated positive reviews for Kapoor's portrayal. Taran Adarsh ofBollywood Hungama commented: "Kapoor puts forth her best efforts, getting to deliver lines in varied dialects. She gets the dialects right, especially Urdu and Rajasthani, but there's not much scope for her to display her acting prowess".[111] In 2013, Kapoor made a special appearance along with several other actors in thetitular song of the anthology filmBombay Talkies, which was made to honour the Hindi film industry for completing a centenary.[112] That year, she also appeared on the showIndian Princess.[113]

On taking a break from her acting career for her kids and family, Kapoor said, it was a "conscious decision".[133] She further said,
"It [acting] is ingrained in you. It is something that never goes away. I was waiting for something really interesting. It was out of my choice that I didn't do any film because my kids were very young. I wanted to be at home with my family and children."[134]
