Karisma Kapoor's Harvard Visit: Karisma Kapoor's recent appearance at the India Conference at Harvard Business School has sparked a debate on social media, with some questioning the decision to invite her as a speaker due to her lack of a formal university degree. Despite the criticism, fans have come to her defence, highlighting that education is not the sole path to success and that Karisma's achievements in Bollywood speak for themselves.
Karisma, who spoke on the 'Soft Power of Bollywood' at the prestigious institute, shared her excitement about the opportunity on Instagram. She expressed gratitude for the chance to share her views and also mentioned an impromptu chat with her sister, Kareena Kapoor, who made a virtual appearance at the event.
The criticism arose when an X user questioned Harvard's choice, stating, "Standard of Harvard University that they called Karisma Kapoor as speaker... A Bollywood actress who is not even a graduate." However, other users were quick to defend Karisma, emphasizing that success is not solely determined by formal education.
