Kangana Ranaut Hails 90s Style Icon Karisma Kapoor
Kangana Ranaut shares a childhood throwback picture, praising 90s style icon Karisma Kapoor as the original fashionista.
MUMBAI — Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut took a nostalgia-filled trip down memory lane, paying tribute to 1990s style icon Karisma Kapoor in a candid social media revelation. The Queen actress revealed that Kapoor was a foundational influence on her early sense of personal style.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Ranaut published a rare childhood photograph depicting her teenage sartorial choices. The archival photo captures a young Ranaut posing in dark denim dungarees paired with a bright yellow t-shirt and a blue sweatshirt tied loosely around her waist—a signature styling choice popularized by Kapoor across several hit films in the late 1990s.
Addressing her followers directly, Ranaut captioned the photo: "Who all worshipped original fashionista @therealkarismakapoor in the 90's ha ha!! I definitely did." To complete the nostalgic mood, she embedded the hit track "Le Gayi" from Yash Chopra’s 1997 musical romance Dil To Pagal Hai, in which Kapoor starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit.
