Ques: Your film career didn't take off as you expected it to? Where did you go wrong since you have the all the qualities of being a film actress?
Karishma: When people say that and compliment and I do feel that I have all the qualities of a film star but then why have I not made it that big? I blame it on my destiny may be. I was not there at the right place, at the right time. I do feel bad but my mom always says that you see people who are below you then you will feel better. I did give auditions to big banner films from Yash Raj to Dharma; if I had to click, someone would have spotted me and taken me in their films. If that has not happened that means I am meant to be on television. And I don't regret being on television but I just regret that I deserve being in films and that didn't happen. I don't look down upon TV and today whatever I am is because of television. It's just that everybody wants to move a little forward in life that didn't happen in my life. If people call me for films auditions I will never stop going, I will try till the end.
Ques: Have you faced casting couch?
Karishma: I have not faced the proper casting couch like 'come sleep with me kind of thing'. If people have hinted also I have not given that hint back. May be things would have been different, if I would have. But I never believed in that, if I have the talent and face then the director will take me in the film. Forget about the director even if you are speaking to someone, people flirt and give hints and it's up to you how you want to take it forward. I never encouraged that kind of things probably that's why I am still here.
Karishma: Sometimes there is no answer to what went wrong. Sometimes two wonderful people or good souls are not meant to be together. That's what happened to us. Upen is a wonderful soul. We connected very strongly, but things didn't move the way we wanted it to. It's not that I don't want to settle down or I am jumping from one relationship to another. We both wanted to settle down, but if we don't see our future together then it's better to part ways.
Ques: You have groomed yourself over the years, and people look up to you as a style diva. How much of hard work has gone into it? Was it a conscious decision from your side.
Karishma: There was no conscious decision. I have just matured with time. Initially, you don't have that kind of money and exposure so you cannot afford high-end brands. Even when I was young, with a limited amount of money and exposure, I tried to look my best. I like to follow trends and stand out. I have always had that fashion sense. But with the time, age, money and experience, I have made a conscious effort to stand out.
