\"For From a teenage actor finding her way on film sets to an established performer, Karisma Kapoor<\/a> says her career has been one of constant evolution. In a conversation with Bombay Times, she reflects on growing up in the industry, adapting to new mediums and the role of dance in her life.\u2018Being an actor means evolving every day\u2019After being in the industry for over three decades, Karisma believes an actor\u2019s learning never really stops. \u201cBeing an actor means evolving every day. I have not only grown with every film, but every single day. I like to learn and grasp things from various people and various sets. It\u2019s that constant growth that makes you evolve.\u201dHaving started working at a young age, Karisma says much of her growing up happened on sets. \u201cI started very young, in fact, Prem Qaidi released four days before my 17th birthday. So, I\u2019ve literally grown up in the industry. I\u2019ve learned from my experiences, from all the ups and downs. And literally climbed the ladder one step at a time. When you look back and feel that you could have done things differently, it means you\u2019ve grown as an actor.\u201d\u2018When you\u2019re doing an episodic show, you need to be on the ball\u2019Karisma, who in recent times has been part of OTT shows like Mentalhood and Brown, feels each medium comes with its own demands. While she is grateful for the opportunities, she admits that the transition to OTT was challenging initially. \u201cOTT is very different from filmmaking. If you ask me, it\u2019s pretty tough. Because when you\u2019re doing an episodic show, you need to be on the ball. In one day, you may be shooting scenes from episode one or seven. So, the pace and the way it\u2019s shot is different. For a movie star, OTT requires a shift in gear. Even television is a different ballgame.\u201dFor Karisma, instinct has always mattered more than a carefully mapped-out career. \u201cI\u2019ve always been the kind of person who, if I want to do something, I do it, and if I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t. I\u2019ve never really planned anything in my career. I think I\u2019ve been lucky enough to have had some memorable films and played some amazing characters throughout my career,\u201d says the Raja Hindustani actress.\"MixCollage-31-Aug-2026-01-14-PM-7307\"\u2018Dance has been an integral part of our lives\u2019Currently, Karisma is seen judging India\u2019s Best Dancer on television. But long before dance became part of her professional identity, the actress says it was something she enjoyed at home. Her memories include dancing with her younger sister, Kareena Kapoor Khan, to songs from the films they watched as kids. \u201cAs a child, I was a huge fan of Sridevi. I remember Kareena and I used to dance for our parents to the song Tathaiya Tathaiya, Naino Mein Sapna. Dance has always been important to me.\u201dKarisma also learnt Kathak as a child and remembers Kareena watching her during her dance classes. \u201cWhenever I practised with my ghungroos, she loved watching me and listening to the beats. Dance has always been an integral part of our lives, with so many great dancers in the family, including Shammi uncle, Chintu uncle and Shashi uncle, who had their own distinctive styles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From a teenage actor finding her way on film sets to an established performer, Karisma Kapoor says her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":874899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,598,134,308751,32087,444175,344,14892],"class_list":["post-874898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brown","tag-entertainment","tag-indias-best-dancer","tag-karisma-kapoor","tag-mentalhood","tag-movies","tag-ott"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=874898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/874899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=874898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=874898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
