It is said that the path of Bollywood is not easy.
To wear the crown of success in Bollywood..
..one has to traverse the path of thorns.
Something similar had also..
..happened to Karishma Kapoor.
Karishma was 15 years old when she became a heroine.
By the time she completed 16 years of age..
..her first film 'Prem Qaidi' was released.
But after that something happened..
..because of which Karishma Kapoor..
..used to cry the entire night.
Situations were such that her mother Babita..
..would start crying herself while trying to console her.
Karishma was just 15 years old when..
..producer D. Rama Naidu signed her for..
..his film 'Prem Qaidi'.
Karishma became the heroine of this film..
..but in a very lowly manner.
Harish from South had the lead role in this film.
Karishma's make up and dressing sense..
..in this film was very bad.
Karishma's launching was very bad because of this film.
Karishma's bad times started from here.
In the next few years films like 'Police Officer'..
..'Jaagruti' and 'Sapne Saajan Ke' all flopped.
And from here, Karishma's career halted..
..before it could take off.
Dharmendra wanted to launch Karishma..
..with his son Bobby in film 'Barsaat'.
But after seeing the bad conditions..
..of Karishma's films even he succumbed.
From here Karishma was disheartened.
She used to cry for nights.
Sometimes Babita and sometimes..
..her younger sister would console her.
The situation in the house was such that..
..nobody ate food at home.
Despite having the name of Raj Kapoor..
..no big film maker came forward to re-launch Karishma.
And then everything changed.
In 1994 'Raja Babu' was released.
And the audience noticed Karishma for the first time.
But in reality Karishma got her identity..
..from the film 'Raja Hindustani' released in 1996.
You have to keep growing.
As an actress you have to keep growing.
And I believe that if you work hard..
..then anything is possible.
I am sure and I hope that the audience likes it.
Karishma touched every peak in her film career.
But Karishma can never forget the time..
..when she had to spend many nights shedding tears.
