Kapoor regrets not completing her education but trained at an acting institute in Mumbai, mentored by Kishore Namit Kapoor, a Film and Television Institute member of India. Despite her family background, her father initially disapproved of her entering the film industry. Kapoor’s mother played a significant role in her upbringing, working several jobs to support her daughters until Karisma debuted as an actress in 1991.
Kapoor is married to actor Saif Ali Khan, with whom she has two sons. Her off-screen life is widely covered in the Indian media, and she credits her strong and independent personality to growing up with her sister and mother. Kapoor is of Punjabi Hindu descent on her father’s side and Sindhi Hindu and British descent on her mother’s side. Her grandfather was the legendary actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor, and her uncle was the late Rishi Kapoor.
