Randhawa essayed the role of a bubbly schoolgirl in the popular soap Hello Dollie which was aired on Star Plus
. Karishma is born in Chandigarh
and has schooled all over India, as her father was a Colonel
in the Indian Army
. She felt the acting bug bit her quite early.
Initially she was a bit apprehensive in taking up the role as she was plagued by the doubts and fears of playing a married woman who does not get to smile even once in the 90 minute movie. But now when she looks back she claims that she could not have made a better choice. She was selected to play lead in Ants and was also offered a big- budget film Perfect Husband. She accepted to do that film as well. Over the weekends and vacations this young actress carries on well with her modeling assignments also. She has also anchored a documentary for the BBC
The Will Power.
Her immediate or extended families are not even remotely connected to the world of films. She claims that as a child she was quite shy and a complete introvert. In her spare time she used to take refuge in books or spent time singing or horse riding.
Karishma had her first dash with glamour in the year 2000 when she was crowned the ‘Miss Monte-Carlo.’ It was sheer curiosity that made the teenager participate in the contest but since then there was no looking back for her. She had done a lot of ad campaigns and then she appeared in a number of music videos for renowned singers. She also anchored cultural events in her university functions and other shows organized by the multinationals in the city.
During a visit to Mumbai
