Before Rita Brown, the no-makeup, chain-smoking, emotionally shattered detective she plays in her new ZEE5 crime thriller, there was a very different Karisma Kapoor, one who showed up on set without a script, took direction in two Hindi words, and somehow helped create the most beloved comedies of an entire decade.
