In 1994, Karisma acted in Rajkumar Santoshi's comedy Andaz Apna Apna which also starred Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Raveena Tandon. The movie was a huge flop when it released, but later became a cult classic. It is now considered as one of the best comedies ever made in the history of Indian cinema.

Karisma Kapur made a much-awaited comeback to the silver screen after a gap of nine years, with Dangerous Ishhq in 2012. The movie tanked at the box office but the actress said that she did the movie only for her two children Samaira and Kiaan Raj. She said in an interview, "I wanted to do a film that they could also see. The film had elements of fantasy, costume drama and supernatural aspects. It is something that could appeal to them."
Hope we get to see a lot of Karisma on the big screen in the year ahead.
