Who is Karishma Kotak? Meet the model-turned-actor who got p ..

Well, so this happened—and of course, it just had to be on the headlines. Karishma Kotak became the it girl and the headline nobody saw coming. But here’s the deal—it had absolutely nothing to do with cricket. During the WCL 2025 final at Edgbaston, someone—and by someone, we mean Harshit Tomar—went full-on rom-com mode and proposed to her on live TV. Yep, cue instant Internet meltdown. Cricket? Who’s she?

Now, if you’re thinking Karishma just randomly ended up in the spotlight, think again. She’s been doing this since she was 16. Born in London, modelling gigs came early, and the camera clearly liked her. She slowly carved out her space across fashion, entertainment, and later—sports. A triple threat, but with better styling.

She really caught nationwide attention when she entered Bigg Boss Season 6. Say what you want about the show, but it knows how to turn heads, and Karishma was no exception. Not long after, she brought her charm and actual cricket knowledge to Extraaa Innings during IPL 6, and fans instantly warmed up to her stylish-yet-sporty vibe.

Film-wise, she’s been around. From starring with Chiranjeevi in Shankar Dada Zindabad, to holding her own next to Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Freaky Ali, and even making a Punjabi film appearance with Gippy Grewal in Kaptaan—Karishma’s filmography is low-key diverse and kinda underrated.

She once said in an interview that she never planned to be a sports presenter, and credits Mandira Bedi for walking so others could run. But as she puts it, “when passion meets preparation, the universe aligns.” So maybe she didn’t see this cricket-adjacent proposal coming—but hey, neither did we.
