― Karishma Tanna
“Long kurtas, especially the pink and yellow ones, that I had worn in ‘Big Boss 8’ – they are very comfortable to wear. You can wear them with a just a belt for your day outings or lunches for stylish and classy look. Or you can also team it up with a churidar and dupatta for an evening outing to look more classy.”
― Karishma Tanna

“I want to concentrate on work and won’t do anything to divert my concentration.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I do feel a bit dejected about my film career. I am sad that it didn’t take off as expected. I didn’t get my due as an actor. I have an attractive personality and good looks. But I don’t know what went wrong? You need to stop thinking about such things and move on.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I don’t regret being on television; I just regret the fact that I wanted to be in the movies, and that didn’t happen.”
― Karishma Tanna

“For me, the most important things are me, myself, and my family.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Generally, in Gujarati families, people get married early, and all my friends are married with two kids. My father had told me, ‘If you do not find a right partner, do not get married’; that’s the advice he has always given me. So, I will never compromise in my marriage.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I feel every artist has a certain amount of fan following.”
― Karishma Tanna

― Karishma Tanna
“I thank God because he has given me work somewhere or the other.”
― Karishma Tanna

― Karishma Tanna
“I do feel I have all the qualities of a film star but then why didn’t I make it that big? I blame it on my destiny. I was not there at the right place at the right time.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Have we ever seen Bollywood stars compete among themselves on a platform like ‘Jhalak?’ It’s always TV stars who compete amongst themselves and are judged by Bollywood stars.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I am not a person to compromise on my priorities and family just for a show.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I have realised I need to tone down and be easy at times. It is good to be competitive and have a fighting spirit, but one should not go to extremes.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I will never create a romantic angle to survive on a game show.”
― Karishma Tanna
“It has to be really interesting for me to perform the same role for 365 days non-stop. It becomes taxing for an actor to perform the same character for 12 hours every day, and then, after a point, there’s no growth.”
― Karishma Tanna
“In films, you work for three to six months, and you’re out of the character. But for a daily soap, you don’t have that luxury. So the character has to be convincing. Otherwise, your mind is not in it, and you’re just working for money, which is a good amount in serials. But I want both: good acting and good money.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I’d love to host a reality show now and not be a contestant in it. I want to take a show forward.”
― Karishma Tanna

― Karishma Tanna
“’Choli Ke Peeche’ and ‘Ek Doh Teen’ were my favourite numbers as a kid. I was a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit and would spend hours looking into the mirror and aping her expressions, believing that the mirror was the camera!”
― Karishma Tanna
“Whether it’s something happy or sad, I like to share everything with my mother.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I don’t stuff myself at breakfast and prefer to have a glass of milk and fruit for breakfast. I prefer a home-made vegetarian lunch otherwise.”
― Karishma Tanna
“People assumed that I wasn’t open to doing TV, probably because I was doing a film and reality shows. I have become choosy and want to take up substantial roles.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Audiences have taken a liking for supernatural and fantasy shows. The genre is doing well on the small screen, and I wanted to get into that mould. I have never played a naagin, and such roles have always intrigued me.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I will only talk about my work. I have always stayed away from commenting on my personal life, and that remains unchanged.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I think it is important to give your partner enough time in a relationship.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I can never marry an obese guy.”

― Karishma Tanna
“I love doing comic roles and believe I am best at it.”
― Karishma Tanna
“In a TV show, you are restricted to a lot of things. On television, you can’t put the content you can put on web series and on the channels digitally.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I love things which are different and shows which are different.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I don’t know why people feel that I am only interested in films, but I very much want to do fiction. My only prerequisite is a good role, something which satisfies the actor in me. If I get a good banner and a good channel, I would definitely do a daily soap.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I had a lot of fun playing a naagin. It is all fantasy, so it was great.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I think the only thing that is in my hands is to look good, and that is one thing I will do for sure.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I am sharing screen space with Ranbir Kapoor, but I am not exactly playing Sanjay Dutt’s love interest, I am one of his encounters… It’s just a cameo, but I would take my role as important, as it is a biopic on Sanjay Dutt, so whatever is important in his life is being shown in the film.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Even if you’re doing a film, you’re in the news while the shooting is on and during promotions. But once it’s over, the limelight fades away, and you wait for something better to come your way.”
― Karishma Tanna
“People who call me reality queen or whatever don’t help me run my house. If I get a good project, I’ll definitely pick it up because today I’m famous; tomorrow, maybe I’d be gone.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I’m very choosy when it comes to work. It’s not like whatever comes my way, I will agree to do it. But if I’m getting good money and exposure and if the content is satisfying, what’s the harm in doing it, even if it’s yet another reality show?”
― Karishma Tanna
“People tend to discuss things like relationships with family and friends, and the fact that I’m the only breadwinner in the family. And honestly, I cashed in on it.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Even if I don’t have a successful film career, at least I am a popular name on TV. I always see the positive side of things. You do feel negative at times, and even humiliated, but if you keep thinking about that, then your life won’t move forward.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I took a break from TV for about three-four years. During that time, I had to let go of some of the best shows that were offered to me, as I wanted to focus on films. It was believed that if you are seen too much on TV, you won’t get films.”
― Karishma Tanna
“It is my dream to be a Bollywood actor.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Friends do give advice, but in the end, it’s up to you. Although I think it is nice to have a guy’s perspective on girls’ issues in relationships and vice versa.”
― Karishma Tanna
“It’s heartening to see talented girls like Prachi Desai and Yami Gautam making it big in films and proving themselves.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I’m not very comfortable about the audience getting a peek into my personal life. I like to keep my personal space.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Like a lot of girls, even I have this dream of being in the movies, and like any actor, I need to grow.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Working with Hirani sir is a big thing for me. At least in my resume, I’ll have a mention of his name in my filmography.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I get to pick so many things as an actor. Also, I’m a good observer of people and their mannerisms.”
― Karishma Tanna
“People knew who Karishma Tanna is always, but through ‘Bigg Boss,’ they know me very well – what kind of a personality I have, what do I do in the morning and what do I do in the evening, what type of clothes I wear, how do I do my hair, how do I do make-up.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Fashion, for me, is reviving different things – I like to stand out every time I dress up and what I’m comfortable in. I need to be extremely confident and comfortable in the attire I wear.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I like keeping myself hydrated and taking care of my body, skin, hair… I feel it’s good to maintain yourself.”
― Karishma Tanna

― Karishma Tanna
“I’d love to do Tamil movies whenever the right script comes by.”
― Karishma Tanna
“I’ve seen almost all of Rajinikanth sir’s movies, at least the ones that have come to Mumbai, since I don’t understand Tamil. I loved him in the movie ‘Hum’ as well.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Sadly, we don’t have Gujarati food on sets, but we do love the delicious Rajasthani dal-baati, gatte ki sabzi, and those proper Rajasthani thalis.”
― Karishma Tanna
“Overall, I feel that southern cinema, in itself, has taken over the film industry with its content, stories and screenplay.”
― Karishma Tanna
“It is very different hosting and judging a show like ‘Love School’; it was unlike acting in a movie or series or being part of a reality show. But I keep telling myself that I have just one life, and I have to make the most of it.”
― Karishma Tanna
