Fans defend Karisma
An X user shared a photo of Karisma at Harvard University and wrote: “Harvard’s standard is that they call Karisma Kapoor a speaker (eye roll emoji) and even a Bollywood actress who is not a graduate (eye roll emoji) symbol).” However, another user defended Karisma, commenting: “Ignorant Bewfkoof aurat (stupid woman)! You may be interested to know that Harvard University offers a prestigious undergraduate degree program called Art, Film and Visual Research”. This information is provided to address any gaps in your awareness.”
Another posted, “Since when does graduation equal wisdom? Why would a woman attack another woman? (laughing with tears emoji) Jealousy?” A third user echoed the thought And commented, “Knowledge is more than just certificates and degrees – when she was active in Bollywood, she was way ahead of her time compared to other actresses #KarishmaKapoor.”
“Yet she became a top actress. Education is not the only way to gain skills, abilities and success,” another user wrote. One netizen also wrote, “She has been a successful actress for a long time, and people with business degrees are generally local employees.”
