Karishma Lala Sharma - Woman Of Ambition

Quirky, chirpy and very happy, Karishma Lala Sharma, is truly one of a kind, who’s made her mark in the industry. With her signature pout, luscious locks and tall, lithe frame, she could give most models a run for their money. Karishma, however, is an actorturned-social media influencer whose fun yet relatable posts make her one of the most influential voices in the Indian blogosphere. With one foot in Bollywood and the other in the television industry, she isn’t afraid to ace everything that comes her way.

Hailing from Patna, Karishma came to the city of dreams, Mumbai with a twinkle in her eyes, and a dream to win it big and make her mother proud. Edited excerpts of our quick chat with Karishma, just before her shoot with FHM India, and here’s what she had to say...

Growing up, who did you admire the most and what inspired you to become an actor?

I was very young when my parents decided to part ways. Growing up, I looked up to my mother, who taught me to dream big. She raised me as a single mother, kept herself together, and told me to always follow my heart. She is my hero.

I never thought that a middle class girl like me would become an actress. Growing up, I used to stitch clothes on my grandmother’s sewing machine for my barbie dolls and wanted to become a fashion designer. But actors such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh inspired me to keep on learning more about the field.

How was your initial journey on the silver screen? What were the challenges that you faced?
