SEXY CAMPUS
CRAZE
 
You read a lot about star wars in the
               magazines. You read their quotes, bitching
               about each other. You read scoops,
               scandals and sensational stories. But have
                  you ever wondered what price we
               sometimes have to pay?
               At times, we lose friends. At times, we
               don't get further interviews or photo
               sessions from those stars. At times, they
               even pull us up at studios.
               The star war in print, sometimes becomes
               a CB - star war in our personal and
               professional lives.
               Karisma hated us but we loved her. She
               refused to give an interview to us but we
               kept printing stories. If stars find it difficult
               to keep their personal and professional likes and dislikes apart, it's even
               tougher for us. It's taken us a long time to try winning her over. We tried to in
               Goa, on the sets of Smita Thackeray's Haseena Maan Jayegi and it was tough.
               But by the end of the day, Lolo gave in. I returned and wrote something that I
               thought was cute but she thought it put her down.
               Perhaps there's been a lack of communication. Perhaps, we can give it
               another try. Because at times, we may write negative stuff but we have very
               positive feelings. There is an invisible heart in our office that says, "Come on
               Lolo...let's be friends."
               And recently when we did a poll, we realised that we aren't the only ones who
               like her.
               Over to the kids on college campus as for whom, Karisma is the undoubted
               queen of hearts!
               What better way to gauge a star's popularity than by a public poll? After all, its
               the people who make a star! We were stunned by Karisma's popularity on the
               campus. With her recent achievement, a National Award for her performance
               in Dil To Pagal Hai, Lolo seems to be creating waves! Though Madhuri was
               appreciated, for her performance in the same film, what was surprising was
               that the younger lot favoured Lolo outright!!!
                Bhoomika Dave- Jai Hind College (TYBA)
                "I feel Karisma is the No.1 actress today. She is a good performer, with the
                most articulate dialogue delivery. She is also the best looking actress, with
                the rare exception of Manisha Koirala, who is equally good looking. In Dil To
                Pagal Hai she surpassed Madhuri, not only at acting but also at dancing. She
                looked much better and more graceful than Madhuri. And even though she
                had a smaller role, her performance was definitely laudable. She is THE
                teen idol. She is a trendsetter in dancing and dressing. And the roles she
                plays, represent the younger generation so youngsters can relate more to
                her. Though she looks good in whatever she suits western outfits best. She
                pairs best with Shah Rukh and Aamir. However, she should stop acting with
                Govinda, since the entire film centres around him and she doesn't have
                much to do."
 
 
                Students of Mass Communication, Sophia College.
                Urja : "Karisma is the best among the current crop of actresses. She dresses
                very well and looks like a real star. In Dil To Pagal Hai, Karisma
                overshadowed Madhuri completely. She wasn't only better looking but had
                fresh appeal too. Going by the years of experience that Madhuri has in
                acting, Karisma was comparitively quite confident. But on second thought,
                you can't really compare them because they were playing different kinds of
                roles in the film. One can safely say that Karisma is more energetic. She
                seems to have improved a lot since her Prem Qaidi days. Karisma pairs best
                with Govinda."
                Kajal : "I feel Karisma is the No.1 actress. In Dil To Pagal Hai, she looked
                very polished. She carries herself very well, which enhances her appeal."
                Gopi : "Karisma is my favourite too. In Dil To Pagal Hai, she was so vibrant.
                Modern roles and modern clothes suit her better. I always look forward to the
                Karisma - Govinda-David Dhawan combination."
 
 
                Naina, 3rd year student, Poddar Medical College:
                "I can't really say that Karisma is the No.1 actress, since their positions keep
                changing every Friday. Today, she is a teen idol because every young girl
                wants to be that energetic and that confident. People could relate well to her
                character in Dil To Pagal Hai. I personally felt I could identify with it.
                Madhuri's character on the other hand, was of a very dreamy, fictional one.
                There were lot of expectations from Madhuri, while from Karisma, there
                were none. The fact that she gave a brilliant performance added to it. I think
                she pairs best with Shah Rukh because they both are bubbly and full of
                stamina."
 
 
                Students of Wilson College
                Rajesh : "One tends to compare Karisma with Madhuri, who has been No1.
                For the last so many years, I think Karisma has a long way to go. She's a
                terrific dancer and pairs best with Govinda. She's the only one who can keep
                up with his dancing pace. The duet they did in Khuddar, is the best so far.
                She's simply gorgeous!"
                Avez : "I like Karisma very much but honestly, I feel the National award was
                a bit too early. She has a lot of sex appeal. Though she is not as talented as
                Tabu and Manisha, she has improved quite a lot compared to her first film.
                She is capable of beating the rest."
 
 
                Students of St. Xaviers College
                Student 1."I liked Karisma a lot in Dil To Pagal Hai. She has a great figure
                and wears great clothes."
                Student 2. "I like Karisma because of her great looks!"
                Students 3. "Karisma is fabulous!"
                Student 4. "Karisma sets a trend with her clothing. I don't know about the
                numbers game but Karisma is definitely good."
 
 
                Ms. Patil, A student of Bhavan's College.
                "My favourite actress is Karisma Kapoor. She is not only beautiful but also
                extremely talented. She has certainly lived up to her family name. I think the
                best thing about her, is her body language. In Dil To Pagal Hai, she
                surpassed everyone's expectations of her. Today, she has become the teen
                idol of the nation."
                Suraj Chhabria, third year student, ICA:
                "Of the current lot of actresses, my favourite is Karisma Kapoor. She looks
                great in whatever she wears. She knows how to carry herself. Karisma is the
                No.1 actress with nobody for competition. She pairs very well with Govinda,
                as only she can cope with his pace."
                With reactions like these, Karisma should be nowhere short of on cloud nine!
                Well!!! That certainly makes Karisma THE SEXY CAMPUS CRAZE!
