Karisma Kapoor’s fans were shocked when they recently learnt that they had been mispronouncing her name all these years. During the promotions of her film Murder Mubarak, Karisma revealed that her name’s correct pronunciation is ‘Ka-rizz-ma’ as opposed to ‘Ka-rish-ma’. While fans were still coming to terms with this information, her sister, actor Kareena Kapoor confused everyone all over again by calling her ‘Ka-rish-ma’. She was asked about the confusion in a new interview.
In a chat with BBC Asian Network, Kareena said with a laugh, “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 then shared what she presumes must be the reason for this confusion. “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. Putting an end to all the confusion, Kareena said that the safest thig would be to call Lolo.

“I think we can just call her Lolo, that’s so much easier right?” she said. and added that this was “less controversial.” She 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.”
In a chat with Netflix India, Karisma left her Murder Mubarak cast members in shock when she told them the correct pronunciation of her name. However, she added that she doesn’t really correct people’s pronunciation when they address her. Later, when Kareena was promoting her film Crew on BeerBiceps’ podcast, she spoke about her sister and addressed her as ‘k-rish-ma’.
