Karisma Kapoor, whose filmography is filled with an array of successful films, on Thursday celebrated 30 years of her journey in Bollywood by sharing a video montage of her popular hits from the 1990s on her Instagram handle. The actress, who achieved the enviable milestone on June 21, said she was full of gratitude.
Kapoor made her acting debut with the musical Prem Qaidi in 1991. She then went on to star in a string of blockbusters, including Raja Babu (1994), Coolie No.1 (1995), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), Jeet (1996), Raja Hindustani (1996), Hero No. 1 (1997), and Dil Toh Pagal Hai. The actress won her first National Film Award for her endearing performance in Yash Chopra’s Dil Toh Pagal Hai.
She continued her winning streak by delivering back-to-back blockbusters such as Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999), Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000).
“Replaying the memories with a dose of the '90s,” Kapoor captioned the video on Instagram, with the hashtag ‘Thirty years of gratitude’ and '’90s Jam.’ The video featured some of her popular hit songs from Raja Hindustani, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, and Judwaa, among others.
In the next decade, she starred in the title role of critically-acclaimed films like Fiza (2000) and Zubeidaa (2001). In 2003, she made her television debut with the show Karishma– The Miracles of Destiny.
After a successful career of nearly 13 years, Kapoor took a sabbatical from acting and married industrialist Sunjay Kapur in 2003. The couple separated in 2016. They share daughter Samaira (16) and son Kiaan (11).
Kapoor returned to acting with Vikram Bhatt's 2012 thriller Dangerous Ishqq, which did not receive great response. The actress her digital debut in 2020 with the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 web series Mentalhood, which met with critical acclaim.

She never signed up for the whole rivalry narrative.
She talks about the weird public fixation on her marriage.
She explains the very simple reason her son's face stays off the internet.
Right, so Hailey Bieber is done with this. The whole thing. In a Wall Street Journal piece that dropped, she basically just said what everyone was thinking but would not print. Being constantly measured against other people, especially other women, has worn her out. She calls it frustrating, even exhausting, and laughs a little when asked about it. “Annoying” does not cover it and really, she never signed up for any of it. Who would?
It is weird, right? Here she is, with Rhode hitting these insane goals like that Sephora launch, the whole e.l.f. Beauty deal worth and yet a chunk of the conversation still orbits this tired, manufactured drama. Everyone is still obsessed with her marriage and old drama, and yes, this is happening in 2025. Can we not?

So what is the deal with these comparisons?
She did not even really get into names. She did not have to. The context is just... there. When they asked about feeling pitted against others, her answer was blunt. "It is always annoying being pitted against other people. I did not ask for that." And then she nailed the part about public perception. Once people decide on a story in their heads, that is it. Once people invent a story about you, it sticks. But it is theirs, not yours. Trying to rewrite it is pointless. Apparently, her publicist even cut off a question heading towards a specific name. But the point was made.

Is there any real competition with other brands?
This is where she completely detached from the nonsense. Zero competition. She said there is space for everybody. Everyone. She only feels a spark if she is inspired by someone, not threatened. It is a pretty mature take, honestly. While the internet fuels these fake wars, she is just over here building her thing and it is refreshing.
This is the part that is actually important. They keep his face private on purpose, they will wait until he can decide for himself. It is not a PR stunt, it is parenting. It is giving him a childhood, or as much of one as you can when your parents are global superstars. She and Justin post him, but you never see him. It is a boundary. A firm one.
We should probably note this is not new for her. Even last year, on Bloomberg, she did not hold back. She described the whole rivalry narrative as cruel and shocking, pointing out that setting women against each other over a man is just wrong. It seems like she still feels the same. Nothing has really changed, has it?
