After celebrating her 45th birthday in London with sister Kareena Kapoor, who was shooting for Homi Adajania’s Angrezi Medium in the Queen’s City, Karisma recently returned to the city. Now, Mirror has learnt that the actress will be filling in for her sister as a judge on the Zee TV show Dance India Dance 7. Karisma shot for the episode on Wednesday at a Goregaon studio.

Confirming the news, Kareena said that she is excited to see Karisma on the show. “She is my role model, confidante and best friend. Before I became my own favourite, she was my absolute favourite and still is,” she added, attributing her absence from the show to prior commitments. “While you shower love on Karisma, don’t forget to miss me,” she laughed.
