Dhaka, Aug. 26 -- Karisma Kapoor once ruled the Bollywood silver screen. In the 1990s, she paired up with all the top heroes and gave one hit film after another.

Although Karisma has now moved away from light-camera-action, she can sometimes be seen at a Bollywood party or hanging out with friends.

She entered the film industry at 16. Speaking at a Ladies Study Group event in Kolkata, Karishma said, "I have spent 32 years in the industry.

There was a time when we used to change clothes under trees. If someone needed to go to the bathroom, they had to walk for miles. The entire unit would whisper, 'Madam is going to the bathroom'."
