Meet famous actress whose debut film was a superhit, but delivered 5 back-to-back flops after it, even Salman Khan couldn't save it, actress is.., films are... In the unpredictable world of Bollywood, success is always fleeting. Sometimes, an actor who would be trying their luck in the industry wouldn't get commercial success that easily; however, sometimes a debutant becomes a viral sensation out of nowhere. The formula of stardom success remains unresolved in this industry. One such similar tale is of a celebrated actress who captivated the audience right from her debut. However, after claiming commercial and critical success, she saw a series of disappointments. The actress that we are talking about is none other than Karisma Kapoor. She made her debut with the film Prem Qaidi in 1991. The film turned out to be a blockbuster, and Karima's charm and strong screen presence won the hearts of the audience. However, after this major success, she delivered 5 consecutive flops. Police Officer Her second film was Police Officer. It was released on 5 June 1992, where she starred opposite Jackie Shroff. Jackie and Karima have an age difference of almost 2 decades. The chemistry of this pair didn't sit well with the audience, and the weak storyline also didn't quite strike a chord with the audience, therefore leading to its failure. Jagriti Later on 3 July 1992, Karima came in the film Jagriti opposite the blockbuster star, Salman Khan. Despite Salman's major fan following, this film left the audience disappointed, marking as the second failure in Karisma's career since her debut. Nishchay 14 days after Jagriti, another Karisma-Salman film titled Nishchay was released. This film was a romantic drama, and the audience had high hopes for the duo; however, it also couldn't make a mark and turned out to be the third flop for Karisma. Sapne Sajan Ke A week after that, Karisma's film Sapne Sajan Ke came out in 1992. The film starred her with Rahul Roy, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Reema Lagoo, and Alok Nath. Even after this star-studded cast, this film left the audience feeling unfulfilled. Deedar Her next flop was Deedar, where she starred opposite Akshay Kumar. This was the first film of the duo together; however, it also couldn't resonate with the audience. Today, Karisma Kapoor is known as a celebrated actress. Despite her consecutive flops in her early years, she went on to carve a niche for herself and turned out to be a successful actress,

'I was always meant to be an actress': Karisma Kapoor's throwback revelation
Before Karisma Kapoor dazzled Bollywood in the 1990s, she made history just by choosing to step into films. In a rare interview from 1990, a year before her debut in Prem Qaidi, a 16-year-old Karisma candidly spoke about breaking Kapoor family tradition, her first day on set, and the special encouragement she received from her legendary grandfather Raj Kapoor . Breaking the Family Mould Speaking to Lehren Retro, Karisma addressed this directly, saying, "If my father and his brother could marry heroines, why can't the women of the family work in films? It's the same thing." At a time when daughters-in-law like Babita and Neetu Singh had given up acting after marriage, Karisma's decision to pursue acting marked a turning point. She dismissed assumptions that Kapoor women were barred from the screen, stating, 'I don't know why everybody is under this illusion. My father encourages me now. Even my grandfather said, 'Lolo baby, if you become an actress, be the best — otherwise don't.'' Facing the Camera for the First Time Although her debut film Prem Qaidi released in 1991, Karisma's first shooting experience came during the filming of Nishchay in 1990, which released later in 1992. She recalled her first day on set fondly, sharing, "I had waited so long to face the camera. It was so nice. I shot a short scene with Salman Khan and Reema Lagoo. Everyone, including the director, was incredibly sweet and made me feel comfortable.' She also noted that she never did a screen test, making her debut feel even more personal and organic. On the other hand, Karisma Kapoor's previous outing was 'Murder Mubarak' which was directed by Homi Adajania. Karisma Kapoor & Sunjay Kapur: From Wedding Vows to a Shocking Farewell
