Karisma Kapoor has taken a trip down memory lane, recalling a time when some of Bollywood’s biggest hits were made without detailed scripts.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, the 1990s star said filmmaking was far less structured during her peak years. 

According to the 51-year-old, actors would often arrive on set with little idea of how scenes would unfold.

"In a way, it's really good that things are streamlined. Back then we worked on gut instinct, passion, and belief. There are so many films I've done that had no script or written scenes. You would go to the set and it would all get developed on set within minutes. These are big, hit films I am talking about."

She also spoke about working with director David Dhawan, known for his fast-paced comedies. Karisma said his directions were often brief but clear.

"A director like David Dhawan would just tell me, in Hindi "Faad do" (kill it) and I'd understand exactly what he wanted."

The Jaanwar actor revealed that many scenes in the comedy Haseena Maan Jaayegi were improvised. 

She said the regular team, including Govinda, Paresh Rawal, Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor, shared a natural comic rhythm after working together so often.

Now, Rishtey actress is promoting her web series Brown, where she plays a troubled police officer battling alcoholism and personal struggles. The role, she said, is very different from her real life.

Known for glamorous and light-hearted roles, the Aashiq actor described the character as raw, vulnerable and emotionally exhausted, a challenge that drew her to the project.
