Despite their uncle Rishi Kapoor's success, Karisma's breakthrough was pivotal during a period when no one else in the family was actively working in the industry.

There was a period when women from the Kapoor family did not pursue careers in showbiz, and those who married into the family stopped working. In a recent interview, The Crew actress shared that her sister Karisma faced significant challenges in her early years. With their mother Babita Kapoor and aunt Neetu Kapoor having left the industry, Karisma was seen as a trailblazer, initiating a revolution within the family.
