Karisma Kapoor shares rare quality of the Khans
Speaking to us, Karisma Kapoor admitted, “We have all literally grown up together. I think they are all very special and very different from each other. Their working styles are very different; that’s what is unique about them.”
While mentioning their rare quality, Kapoor said, “Salman (Khan) is more masti and fun, but in the shot, he’s very serious. Shah Rukh Khan is extremely hardworking and a very giving actor. He will really sit with you and do your lines, which is such a great quality, and then, of course, Aamir (Khan) is such a perfectionist. Working with them, I also got to learn a lot.”
“That’s why I like to observe actors, and I literally observed them and took their best quality,” Karisma added with a giggle.
