Karisma Kapoor has come a long way in showbiz, with rich content-driven and commercial films to her credit. After creating a niche of herself, the actress took some time off from her hectic life, stayed away from the limelight. In an new interview, the actress shared it was a conscious decision to do so, as she wanted to focus on her family.
In an interview with Grazia, Karisma shared, “I chose to stay away from the limelight- I had young children, and it was important for me as a mother that I didn’t want to miss out on those moments. I think that’s a choice that each individual needs to make and that’s a choice I made.”
Back in 2013, in an interview with IANS, Karisma was asked about her children’s response to her star status, she says her daughter treats her like a regular mother. “My daughter is the most normal towards me. For her, I am just her mom. I am just a regular mom and the actor comes after that. If she likes something that I am wearing, she tells me and if she doesn’t, she still makes it a point to let me know,” she said.
Karisma also said that she is more of a disciplinarian than a strict parent. “I won’t say I am a strict mother, but discipline is important. Timing and routine are important for kids. My children also look forward to that,” she said.
She further added, “I think it is important to be a friend to your kids. But it is also equally important to set boundaries. My mother was a strong influence, and so was my dad. My mom was my friend whom I couldn’t cross.”
“I try to shield my children as far as possible from the public glare. I want them to have a normal childhood, like we had. We went to school by the school bus, had school food… There was no special treatment given to us. The same applies to my children as well,” the said.
