Karishma Kapoor: From Changing Behind Trees to Vanity Vans
Ah, the 90s! When Karishma Kapoor, our quintessential diva, burst into Bollywood like a firecracker. Sure, she came from a filmi family, but she didn’t just ride on those coattails. Nope, she danced her way into our hearts with pure talent. Remember her sizzling chemistry with Govinda and Sunny Deol? Iconic!
Karishma was part of an elite club of actresses whose mere name could sell out theaters. With hits like Andaz Apna Apna, Coolie No. 1, and Raja Hindustani, she proved she was no sidekick but a star in her own right. Recently, she took a stroll down memory lane, revealing some juicy deets about her early Bollywood days.
No Vanity Vans, Just Trees and Toilets!
Currently, a judge on India’s Best Dancer Season 4 (yes, she’s still got it!), Karishma reminisced about the good ol’ days. "Back then, vanity vans were a luxury we couldn’t even dream of. Heck, we used to change behind trees and sometimes couldn’t even find a decent toilet!" 😱
She also shared a fun anecdote about working on Dil To Pagal Hai. "It was the first film where I saw the monitor on set. During the ‘Dance of Envy’ shot, Yash Ji, Aditya Chopra, and Uday Chopra were all there. We were like, ‘Wait, we can actually see what we just shot?’ It blew our minds!"
Tech Talk: The Evolution of Bollywood
Karishma also touched on how technology has revolutionized Bollywood. "Back then, dubbing was done live on set, which added depth to scenes. Now, with all these fancy gadgets and vanity vans, it’s a whole different ball game. In my first sync-sound film Zubeidaa, directed by Shyam Benegal, we used lapel mics for real-life sound. That was groundbreaking!"
Nisha’s Nutshell:
Bollywood has evolved from changing behind trees to the luxury of vanity vans. The moral of the story? Always be ready for a costume change, even if it’s behind a bush! 🌳✨
