Karisma Kapoor may make comeback next year

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, who has been missing from the silver screen since 2012, has hinted that she may make a comeback in 2017.

“I do a lot of endorsements and stuff like that, but a movie is a big commitment. Maybe sometime soon. Maybe next year, who knows? Haven’t decided anything,” Karisma said on the sidelines of the second edition of TOIFA here on Friday.

The actress is currently in the midst of a legal battle with her estranged husband Sunjay Kapur.

When reporters questioned her about her divorce, Karisma just said “thank you” and walked off.

Karisma separated from Sunjay over five years ago, and has now filed a dowry harassment case against him and her mother-in-law Rani Surinder Kapur.

The “Biwi No. 1” actress and Sunjay tied the knot in 2003 and share two children — daughter Samaira and son Kiaan.
