BBC Asian Network - Asian Network Presents, Karisma Kapoor Presents, Episode 2

Actress Karisma Kapoor continues to choose songs and talk about her career.

Actress Karisma Kapoor talks about breaking out of mainstream cinema, working on Dil To Pagal Hai and how a current A-lister repeatedly ruined one of her shots.

In the second of a two-part programme to mark her 42nd birthday and 25 years since her on-screen debut, Karisma Kapoor chooses the songs that helped make her one of the 90's and early 2000's most popular actresses.

Hailing from Indian cinema's first family, the Kapoors, Karisma was the first female to break from family tradition and enter the industry in 1991 with the movie Prem Qaidi. The daughter of actor and director Randhir Kapoor and actress Babita, Karisma was an instant hit with audiences who fell for her innocent on-screen persona.

Karisma's career really took off when she teamed up with dancing machine Govinda and director David Dhawan, spawning comedy hits like Raja Babu, Coolie No1 and Hero No1.

Karisma talks about breaking out of mainstream cinema to follow passion projects such as Fiza and Zubeeida, how she was terrified of working in Dil To Pagal Hai and how one current-day A-lister repeatedly ruined one of her shots.

Karisma Kapoor chooses her most meaningful songs and talks about her life and career.
