One of the biggest challenges that a lot of filmmakers face while making a short film is to deliver their concept rightfully. While some short films are visually perfect, some lack a lot of storytelling and meaning. Thus, it’s never easy to bring a perfect short film in front of the audience and the challenge gets doubled when we talk about strong topics that need a lot of meaning time-space.

An entire career on one side and my kids on the other.”
In an interview with the IANS, Karisma had talked about it and had said, "It (acting) is ingrained in you. It is something that never goes away. I was waiting for something really interesting. It was out of my choice that I didn't do any film because my kids were very young. It was out of choice that I wanted to be at home with my family and children." She had further said, "They are excited that I am working again. I started working at a very young age. Everyone in my family has been an actor and contributed to this industry. I have grown up with a really strong work ethic, and I think that's hopefully gone down to my children as well."

In an interview with the DNA, Karisma had talked about motherhood and had said, "Motherhood completely changes you as a woman and your whole focus becomes your children, which I love and enjoy a lot. So I think these small initiatives which we can be a part of, which also help our children and family, means a lot. In a certain way, yes. It has altered my choices in life. Work is secondary for me as a mom. It’s all about rushing back home and being with my kids. My housemaid was just calling me (laughs). So definitely, it’s a matter of my choice and I choose to do that." (Also Read: Amrita Arora's Lovely Birthday Wish For Her 'Main Man', Shakeel Ladak Is Filled With Love And Goals)
