Just like any other newlywed girl, Karisma Kapur too sports that afterglow of marriage. While everybody saw the radiance she reflected at film awards' functions, when we met her on the sets of the mega serial 'Karishma - The Miracles of Destiny' which incidentally completed over 100 episodes, she looked truly happy. She's laughing a lot more and she looks absolutely content. Though she still retains her earnestness towards her work, we can sense a certain confidence in her tone. She looks blessed. Ask her the clichéd 'How does it feel after marriage' and she turns up her nose. "Everybody asks me how's married life treating me and whether it has changed me, the answer is no. Yes, there is the obvious difference about being married now as opposite to not married earlier but that's it. I don't think life has changed drastically after my marriage."
Like every brand new bahu though Karisma does confess to initially having experienced a little strangeness in her life after the first few days of marriage. "I was missing my family big time. It was a little difficult to feel that here I was in a different city (Delhi) leading a life without my parents or my sister."
Shuttling between two cities - Delhi and Mumbai - Karisma doesn't feel it taxing "simply because as an actor, you are anyways used to traveling for your shoots. Also my family, that's my in-laws are also shuttling between these two cities because of the business, so it's OK," she says. Ask her if the new bahu cooked for her family and she laughs aloud, "No, I'm not very good at cooking. I have hardly cooked there. In fact, Bebo (Kareena) is a better cook."
Marriage she says and obviously so has added to her responsibilities. "You are no longer alone. You have another person, your husband in your life and that means sharing things with him, becoming more responsible for your actions and taking on additional family responsibilities. Earlier you were just a woman, now you are somebody's wife," she says carefully weighing her words for marriage also means not talking your head off because now somebody else too is reading your interviews we guess!
Citing her husband Sunjay Kapur's good qualities she says, "He's very intelligent, loving and always keeps me laughing. No, he hasn't seen any of my films, for that matter he hardly watches films. He's not the film-going sort. I think Sunjay has made me a calmer person if you ask me the one thing that's changed about me after marriage."
