My Take
Karisma Kapoor earns my respect twice over. First, for the courage it took to become the first woman of the storied Kapoor family to act, breaking a taboo that had held for decades; that is a quiet act of rebellion I find genuinely moving. Second, for what she did with the opportunity: dominating 1990s Hindi cinema as one of its leading and highest-paid stars, then pivoting to serious dramatic work in films like Fiza and Zubeidaa that won her national recognition. Plenty of stars inherit a name; far fewer redefine it. She delivered both glamour and gravitas, and Bollywood's modern leading women walk a path she helped clear.
