This photo is from 1998… Just around the time of #RajaHindustani…I didn’t have a studio, so this photo (like many others) was taken under her building with natural light… #KarismaKapoor pic.twitter.com/4INAyDZVZp— Avinash Gowariker (@avigowariker) March 27, 2020
Speaking of the mood and the shooting, Avinash said: “She was at the peak of her career. It was just after Raja Hindustani and all the David Dhawan movies with her in it did very well. She and I had just bonded as photographers and models, and she never took too many photos. I just started to enjoy it. At that time, most of the work was done in the studio and studios had become very boring. She would have liked that I always went where she was and was asked to come along on shoots. I photographed under buildings if desired and took those pictures. So Manish Malhotra is very close to her and managed to just send some clothes. She used to have a makeup artist, and we say ‘jam’ and these are those pictures.”
Meanwhile, Karisma Kapoor will be seen on the work front in webseries Brown with director Abhinay Deo. She was last seen in mentality.
