Karisma made her debut in the 1991 movie Prem Quaidi and has since then acted in sixty movies.

Balancing commercial crowd-pleasers and art-house dramas, Kapoor has garnered four Filmfare Awards to date including Filmfare Best Actress Award for Raja Hindustani (1996) and Fiza (2000), Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for Dil To Pagal Hai (1997) and Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance for Shyam Benegal's Zubeidaa.

On 29 September 2003, she married industrialist Sanjay Kapur according to Hindu marriage rites. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Samaira, on 11 March 2005.
