Shagufta Ali Spills on Karisma Kapoor's Set Attitude
Co-star from Hero No. 1 recalls Karisma's work ethic and her not-so-chill vibe on set.
Throwback drama alert! Shagufta Ali just opened up about working with Karisma Kapoor on the film Hero No. 1, and she’s got some spicy takes to share. According to reports making the rounds in Indian media, the veteran actress praised Karisma’s dedication and work ethic but also alleged she came with serious attitude baggage on set.
Shagufta reportedly described Karisma as “overambitious,” suggesting the star’s intensity wasn’t always easy to vibe with during filming. Industry chatter indicates she acknowledged Karisma’s hard work while noting there was definitely friction around her demeanor. The comments have been picking up steam across multiple outlets, sparking the usual debate about ambition versus attitude in Bollywood.
Karisma, of course, has had an iconic career spanning mega-hits like Raja Hindustani and Dil To Pagal Hai, so her drive clearly paid off. Still, these behind-the-scenes recollections always make us wonder what really goes down when cameras stop rolling.
Our team is watching for any response from Karisma’s camp.
