And while the media has been busy tagging Vikram Bhatt's supernatural thriller as Karisma's 'comeback' film, the actress was of a different opinion. "I had simply taken a sabbatical. A maternity leave. People keep telling me that it is the best time to comeback since female oriented films are back in fashion. But when I worked earlier, I did a commercially successful Biwi No 1 and also a Zubeida. A good actor and good script will always work," said Karisma.

But the actress did say that the West has influenced the industry. And we are not just talking about the films here. Karisma said how working for a mother has now become easier. "We have become like the West. Like Angelina Jolie or Kate Winslet, I too have kids and have responsibilities beyond my job. Vikram (Bhatt) and the production house worked out the dates according to me. They know that I am a mother.

We saw it once. And then had to go back to check it out once again. 'It' being the first look of Karisma Kapoor's comeback film 'Dangerous Ishhq' that released today. Dressed in a flowing crimson dress, and putting her (best?) foot forward, the actress held a sultry Angelina Jolie-esque posture in the posters. Was that a conscious decision, we asked the actress, who simply laughed it off and said, "Honestly, we didn't think about the poster at all. We had done this photo shoot way earlier. There is a strange similarity but it is not inspired by Jolie."

Not one to do things by the halves, Rakhi goes a step ahead, and says: "Mahesh Bhatt is signing Sunny Leone for Jism 2 - only for her nudity. After all, it makes things easier for the filmmaker. In any case, he makes his heroines shed clothes, so it will make things easy for him because Sunny has already shed her clothes long back! Mahesh Bhatt ka kaam aasaan ho gaya!"
