Carry on Karishma!

Carry on Karishma!

1. My little haven
Karishma has done the decor of her Malad flat all by herself. Interestingly she's shopped for all the furniture, curtains, electronics, linen... all in one day! "I'm very quick when it comes to shopping," she says. This is the favourite corner of the house

2. Not quite a sleeping beauty
Being in the profession that she is in, sleep is perhaps the last thing she can enjoy. "I sleep only for about five-odd hours everyday… though I'd love a ten-hour sleeping cycle. Every morning, I have to drag myself out of the bed," she says. The reporting time for her shoots: 5 am


3. One, two, buckle my shoe
Almost all her money is spent on shoes and clothes. And opening her cupboard is like opening the Pandora's Box… "Most often, I don't even remember the things that I bought. So, invariably my mom carries the stuff back to my Malabar Hill home."


4. Kids' Stuff
This is Siddharth… her three-year old nephew, who she dotes on. Whenever he is over, Karishma takes him out shopping. "We also watch cartoon films and play pranks on other people," Sid says before scampering away to another room


5. Eye Spy
When she isn't shooting, Karishma uses just kajal and gloss. "As an actor I always have to wear make-up. So at other times, I allow my skin to breathe," she informs. A monthly cleansing routine, healthy diet and lots of water is the secret behind her glowing complexion
