The 38-year-old actress, who raises two kids Samaira andKiaan, has also worked in a number of movies post marriage."I absolutely think things are changing. We sistersshouldn't take all the credit though as all married actressesand mothers out there are making their own space.
"We are becoming like the West, which is really good.Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet are all momsworking, endorsing and raising a family. I think it is a greattime for married actresses and mothers in the industry,"Karisma told PTI.
