If you have enthusiasm like me, you can follow any of your dreams in life. And even if it is passing SEE in my age,” Karishma told My City.
However, she lamented that people are questioning about her enrollment in school at this age. “People are blaming that I went school for publicity. Isn’t it baseless allegation toward me? Since I’ve already that fame and popularity while doing a film, why should I join a school for publicity?” She added.
Karishma who says her first exam for SEE went well; she is a normal student at studies. “I’m not a brilliant student but I am determined to pass my SEE. And I am preparing for the rest of the subjects. To stay focus, I even switched off my cell phone.”
