Karisma 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. The actress says she is open to doing more films but is waiting for the right script.
Hope we get to see a lot of Karisma on the big screen in the year ahead.
