Karisma Kapoor has always been known for her discipline on set. The actress is one of the most beloved stars in the film industry, despite being away from the big screen for years. However, recently, costume designer, Ashley Rebello, has shared some behind-the-scenes moments from his experience while working with Karisma, which sheds new light on just how committed she was during her 1990s peak. The designer recalled an incident from Biwi No 1, unseen by the audience, but it also showed the level of physical discomfort she had to endure without a single complaint.

In a recent conversation with Galatta India, Ashley Rebello recalled the moment he noticed blood on her costume. The costume designer revealed that he had created a striking metal dress for a song in Biwi No 1, which ended up hurting Karisma mid-performance. However, the actress continued dancing, and he suddenly realised something was wrong. He shared that the metal had pricked her skin, and Karisma was bleeding throughout. He was quoted as saying:
“We were doing a song in Biwi No 1 where I gave Karisma a metal dress, and while she was doing her steps, the metal pricked her, and she was bleeding throughout. I spotted red coming on to the gold dress.”
