The leggy lass Karishma Tanna is one of the highest-paid actresses of the telly industry and indeed has a huge fan following. The actress who made her debut with Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi gradually went on to become a huge star. Though her tall and lean figure is admired by a lot of people, her amazing height has been a speed-breaker in her career more than once.
Recently in a conversation with Pinkvilla, the actress revealed how she lost some projects because her height was taller than the hero. Speaking about the same Karishma shared, “When I was young, I was conscious about my height because every time I used to go for a look test, they would say, ‘arey hero chota hai’ and we cannot take you because you are tall. For the first time, I realised that in India, being tall is a problem. In fact, they should be looking up to the person who is tall and has a personality. I started lying about my height that it is 5′ 8, whereas it is 5′ 10, Karishma confessed and added, “I thought I won’t get work in films or on television because of my height. But slowly, with the industry evolving, I became confident. I have read one interview with Salman Khan who had said that the girl’s height is not a problem, she should be talented.”
