Karisma Kapoor – Style Comes From Inside

Karisma is slowly but surely sending signals of a comeback, what with a sudden emergence on the social circuit, a brilliant outing on the India Couture ramp and a big television return. The latest came from popular magazine Hello! Lolo recently featured on its cover and was listed among India’s top ten most stylish women. “Thank you, for the lovely compliment,” she was heard saying.

While we totally agree that Karisma is style and elegance personified, we were slightly taken aback when the only person she gave credit for her looks to, was herself. The actress looked every bit the chic chick she now is in a charming black and white outfit at the felicitation. But we decided to go back in time a little, precisely to her Andaz Apna Apna and Raja Babu days. The garish pink lipstick, excessively bushy eyebrows, tacky sense of dressing was in stark contract to what Karisma is now.

In fact, her career took a fashionable turn when style guru Manish Malhotra decided to take over. The result was a much more presentable Lolo in Raja Hindustani, followed by a continuous improvement in films like Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Zubeida etc. But Karisma seemed to have forgotten her friend. “It’s just my inner personality coming through my clothes. On screen, we have to wear the clothes given to us, but this my own choice,” she said. Source
