Catching
up with Karisma
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With an extra spring in her step, Karishma literally smiled
her way to her seat alongside Salman Khan at Le Merdien last
Saturday. Exuberating a certain tranquil poise, Karishma was
simplicity exemplified, dressed in dark-blue jeans topped
with a black polo-neck.
Asked how it felt to be associated with the film industry
after a decade of acting, Karishma answered, ``It has been
a great experience, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. It is
very good to know that people have appreciated my work.''
Speaking on the different genres of films, the hazel-eyed
beauty emphasised, ``It is we who differentiate between art
and commercial films. No such separation actually exists.''
How does
Karishma feel about her recent films, Fiza and Zubeida making
waves at the box office? ``I have enjoyed doing both the films,''
she beams, ``My roles in Zubeida and Fiza were totally different.
Specially in Fiza, it was good to see people appreciate me
in normal, unglamourous clothes. It was certainly very challenging
working for Fiza.''
What kind
of roles does Karishma prefer to take up? ``See, I don't differentiate
between films, be it commercial or art. All movies are the
same. If I like a movie, I just take up the offer.''
Apparently,
Karishma has a long standing association with aamchi Pune
and its people. ``My grandfather had lots of attachment to
the city,'' she exclaims, ``Quite a bit of the film Zubeida
was also shot in Pune.''
Karishma
had trained with Pune's prime danseuse Ewa Maria Cherukuru
for a song sequence in Zubeida. Speaking about the experience,
Karishma quips, ``Working with Ewa was great since everything
was so authentic. She is a wonderful teacher.''
