The first 'Kapoor' girl in Bollywood , Karisma Kapoor who was known for starting her acting career at the age of seventeen gave blockbusters like 'Raja Hindustani' and 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai'.

Being from a 'Kapoor Khandaan', the actress did not restrict herself to only glamourous roles. She proved her versatility by delivering top-notch performances in movies. Within six years, the actress won her first 'National Film Award' and became one of the most successful Bollywood actresses of the 90s.
