In a past interview with Pinkvilla, Lolo opened up about what it was like working with the three Khans and what made each of them unique, both as actors and individuals.
'We've grown up together'
Reflecting on her journey with the trio, Karisma said, 'We have all literally grown up together. I think they are all very special and very different from each other. Their working styles are very different; that's what is unique about them.'
This sense of growing up alongside them is more than just a nostalgic statement.
Karisma began acting at a young age and quickly rose to fame, sharing screen space with each Khan during some of their formative years in the industry.
Salman Khan: Fun on set, focused in frame
With Salman Khan, Karisma created magic in films like 'Judwaa', 'Biwi No.1', 'Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge', and the evergreen 'Jeet'. Their pairing became synonymous with fun, chemistry, and box-office hits.
Sharing what she loved most about working with Salman, Karisma said, 'Salman is more masti and fun, but in the shot, he's very serious.'
Shah Rukh Khan: A generous, hardworking co-star
Karisma's work with Shah Rukh Khan includes memorable films like 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Duplicate' (in a special appearance), and 'Shakti: The Power'. It was in these collaborations that she got to witness SRK's discipline and generosity as an actor. She shared, 'Shah Rukh Khan is extremely hardworking and a very giving actor. He will really sit with you and do your lines, which is such a great quality…'
Aamir Khan: The perfectionist
Karisma teamed up with Aamir Khan in the much-loved film 'Raja Hindustani', which was a huge commercial success.
The film remains a milestone in both their careers. Speaking about Aamir, she said, 'Aamir is such a perfectionist. Working with them, I also got to learn a lot.'
Karisma didn't just act alongside the three Khans, she studied them. As she put it, 'That's why I like to observe actors, and I literally observed them and took their best quality.'

Coolie (Hindi) Day 2 Box Office: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film jumps to Rs 6.50 crore on Independence Day
The Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj-led Coolie has seen a 50 percent jump in collections on the second day as early trends indicate Independence Day business in the range of Rs 6.25 crore to Rs 6.75 crore. With this, the two-day total of Coolie stands at Rs 10.75 crore, and the film will be looking at an extended opening weekend in the range of Rs 20.00 crore. The Independence Day jump should have been bigger, but the reports are probably mixed, curtailing the chances of a big number. At one point of time through the advance sales cycle based on the trends, Coolie looking like a Rs 6.50 crore opener, but the film settled with a first day of Rs 4.25 crore. The film is doing well in single screens and will probably be the second highest-grossing Tamil Film in Hindi by the end of its run, which is good for optics, but the success tag would depend on the business it does post Monday. The film has faced competition with War 2 in Hindi, and could have done better without the opponent, as both the films catered largely to the masses. Coolie is continuing to do well in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and even Andhra Pradesh/Telangana on the second day, though some early cracks are visible on the second day in international markets. The Independence Day holiday has helped Coolie, though the jump had the scope to be higher given that the film has seen a release on about 1400 screens in North India. Here's a look at day-wise box office of Coolie Thursday: Rs 4.25 crore Friday: Rs 6.50 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 10.75 crore Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!
