Popular actress, Karishma Tanna made her acting debut with the popular TV serial, Kyunki Saad Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi at the mere age of 17. After that, she became a household name with her role of 'Indu'. Afterwards, she worked in many TV serials and reality shows. Karishma will be next seen in Hansal Mehta's upcoming series, Scoop. Now, during a candid conversation, Karishma revealed why her father didn't see her for a month after her birth. She also added about becoming the family's breadwinner at an early age.
In a candid conversation with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Karishma Tanna opened up about her emotional memories from her childhood. She talked about belonging to a lower middle-class Gujarati family and that despite her uncles and grandfather earning well with their businesses, the actress mentioned that her father struggled financially. Thus, Karishma mentioned that after her birth, her father wasn't happy and wanted a son. The gorgeous actress also shared about receiving second-hand treatment from her grandfather and grandmother for being a girl child. In Karishma's words:

“My mother had told me when I was old enough that actually when I was born, my dad wasn’t happy. Because he wanted a son and there was family pressure, like typical Gujarati families. They thought a son can carry forward their lineage, earn more and they are superior. My mom had two daughters. My granddad and grandmom used to give us second hand treatment. It made me strong, I will show them what a boy does can also be done by a girl.”

In the same conversation, Karishma mentioned that her mother told the story when she grew up, which broke her completely. However, she mentioned that it wasn't that her father didn't love her, but they weren't happy because she was the second daughter her parents had. So, she started playing the role of a son in her parents' life and started earning very early. Karishma added:
“Jab mai pada hui thi, meri mummy ne ek hafte tak mera chehra nahi dekha tha. Mere papa ek mahine tak dekhne nahi aye hospital me kiuki dusri bhi ladki hi hui. When my mom told me that, it broke my heart. It’s not that my father didn’t love me. It was because his second child was also a girl and family pressure was there, so he didn’t come to see me. But, it broke him also from inside. My father said, 'Mujhe oh betiyan pasand hai par mai apni family ko kya kahunga. This girl is also going to get second hand treatment, what is her fault?' After this, I decided and told my father that I will do everything that you expect from a son. Main ladka ban k dikhaungi and I did that.”

However, Karishma added that she had never thought about whether Varun would be okay with her doing romantic scenes because, even before she was married, she always drew a line regarding intimate scenes.
