When Karisma Kapoor was promoting Murder Mubarak, she left everyone confused when she said that her name is pronounced as ‘Karizzma’ and not ‘Karishma’. Fans of the actress have been mispronouncing her name for years and Karisma doesn’t correct them because she doesn’t mind it. Now, Kareena Kapoor has reacted to this confusion and has suggested an easy solution – just call her Lolo.
Speaking to BBC Asian Network, Kareena said, “I go with the flow. I go with whatever the interviewer asks me. I am like… yeah whatever. You love her, call her what you want. I think she’s also like… whatever… easy about it.”
Kareena also spoke about why this confusion must have arisen in the first place. “A lot of people didn’t know, and they couldn’t pronounce because… What is Karisma versus Karishma? Karishma is like a miracle. I think she’s also like whatever you want to call me, but obviously, her name does not have an ‘H’ in it and it is just Karisma on her passport,” she said.
“I think we can just call her Lolo, that’s so much easier right?” she said. Kareena added that this was “less controversial.” The actress concluded, “She’s so chill. It’s about the love and emotion but obviously, if you say what her name is in the passport, it is Karisma.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kareena was recently seen in Crew. Crew revolves around three air hostesses played by Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti. The narrative of the film witnesses the three leads stumbling upon a dead passenger smuggling gold biscuits. What unfolds after they decide to steal the gold amidst the backdrop of their airline Kohinoor facing bankruptcy, forms the basic plot of the film.
Kareena will soon be seen in Singham Again with Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff.
