'Saif and Bebo will have to dance together for me to pass a judgement'

Karisma Kapoor, whose last TV outing was Karishma - A Miracle Of Destiny, revisits the small-screen, this time as a co-judge on Nach Baliye

What prompted you to make a comeback through a TV show?
First of all, let me clarify that this is not a comeback. Abroad, actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts appear in films once in three or five years but nobody says they are making a comeback. I had just taken a break and am back after it! TV is a huge medium and the gap between films and TV has narrowed. Today all my colleagues like Akshay Kumar, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan are on TV. As for Nach Baliye, it’s a show that has a reputation of getting high TRPs. What’s more, I love dancing. So far, people have watched and judged my dances in films, this time I will be on the other side and I am looking forward to it.

You were amongst the first actors to act in a TV serial, Karishma - A Miracle Of Destiny. Any plans of doing another serial?
Not as of now. I need to have a good script to decide on anything.

What about films?
I have got a lot of offers but I haven’t found anything interesting. I am lucky to have done a variety of roles in my career and even now I am looking for something different. It could be a comedy or an emotional story but it has to touch my heart.

Any film with your sister Kareena in the offing?
No.

The hallmark of reality shows are the fights between judges and contestants. What is your take on that?
I feel in a reality show, a lot of emotions are at play. There is a reaction to every action. But, honestly, I have never thought about it seriously. I plan to be extremely fair and honest in my judgement.

We’ve heard you are sporting a new look designed by Manish Malhotra.
That’s right. It is a completely new avatar. You will have to watch the show to see it.

Who according you is the best dancer in Bollywood?
In today’s times it is undoubtedly Kareena.

If you have to judge Kareena and Saif dancing how would you rate them?
(Laughs) They will have to dance together for me to pass a judgement.
