Karisma Kapoor makes her comeback with ‘Mentalhood’

Karisma Kapoor has been away from films for a really long time. The last we remember seeing her onscreen was in ‘Dangerous Ishq’. She was the reigning queen of the 1990s along with Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla and Sridevi. However, she slowly disappeared from the big screen. She is now set to be back onscreen with ALTBalaji’s new web series, ‘Mentalhood’.

ALTBalaji recently announced its new web-series ‘Mentalhood’, a show on the crazy ride of motherhood. Raising kids is an art. Some make it into a highly precise science, but most of them are like tigresses protecting their cubs. Directed by Karishma Kohli, ‘Mentalhood’ will see actor Karisma Kapoor making her digital debut as Meira Sharma, an out and about mental mom.

Karisma Kapoor joins the palette of promising actors to bring this fresh concept to life. Karisma also happens to be a mother of two in real life. On the show, Karisma will be playing Meira, a small town mom who is trying to navigate through this jungle of Mumbai momzillas. She knows parenting is all about the right balance and getting that balance right becomes the tricky part.

Spilling more on her digital debut, Karisma shared, “Out of choice, I wanted to be with my family and children. After a while when I heard this script, it was so interesting. The script was about today’s mother and it was so strong. Women of all ages and all those who are mothers will identify with my characters. It is also something which I am going through right now. Young parents and older parents will identify with ‘Mentalhood’. My character is today’s mom and as a human, she will do the right thing and is real. I am thoroughly enjoying shooting with all my lovely co-actors.”

‘Mentalhood’ is set to release later this year.
