Fiza (2000)

Having proved her mettle as a mainstream actress, Karisma decided it was time for meaningful roles.

Enter Khalid Mohamed's Fiza, which displayed another facet of her.

Not many image-conscious actresses would have dared to play elder sister to Hrithik Roshan. Surprisingly, Kapoor was game.

The role had complex shades, at times uncompromising, at times vulnerable. Her uninhibited emotional breakdown after her mother’s death was hard-hitting.
