Karisma Kapur is back in films with Dangerous Ishq. Karisma have also decided to give her marriage a second chance. Karisma married Sunjay in 2003. Soon after, her husband's alleged 'closeness' to certain women did not go down too well with the actress who had left her successful Bollywood career to settle down in Delhi.

After a brief period of estrangement, Karisma and Sunjay reconciled. But problems apparently started again when Karisma became pregnant with her second child. Sunjay was reportedly getting cozy with a Delhi-based socialite. Unhappy, with her husband's roving eye, Karisma shifted base back to Mumbai. She stayed with her children Samaira and Kian in Bandra and her visits to Delhi stopped completely.

Making a fresh start Lolo spent Diwali with her estranged husband in his Delhi home after over a year of separation. Her daughter Samaira and son Kian too spent about a week with her and Sunjay.

A source say’s, "Lolo had a great time in Delhi. She stayed in Sunjay's house for about four to five days. She has not looked so happy in a very long time. She clicked pictures with Sunjay and her kids and sent them across to Kareena, who was in London for the launch of her wax statue at Madame Tussauds."

However, this reconciliation might not culminate into Karisma moving back to Delhi. The actress, who is currently working with Vikram Bhatt on Dangerous Ishq, will continue with her second innings in Bollywood. She will soon start working on Soham Shah's remake of Satte Pe Satta. Five years since she got married and had two kids, Karisma Kapur’s life has come to full circle, she is back to where she belongs. It's been almost two months since Lolo began shooting; she reveals how excited she is to be back on the sets.

Do you share your experiences with Kareena?
Kareena and I have always shared everything! She's been very excited for me ever since I signed Dangerous Ishq, and has always encouraged me to get back to acting. In fact, she's been coming to my set and watching the shoot often. That feels really nice!

What was the first shot you did?
Director Vikram Bhatt kept the first shot very simple. It was an emotional scene and he thought the best way to dive into the movie was by doing this scene. Shooting in 3D is different on a technical level.

Were you nervous on the first day of the shoot?
I was more excited! Acting is like driving; you can never forget it, and it's in my blood. Also, it was the script that excited me. It's very different from the roles I've done before and will take me to the next level in terms of performance. When I faced the camera on the first day, I kept getting distracted thinking about my kids. Then I started getting into the routine in a nice way. Now I am glad I am doing it. I have also returned to acting for my kids. I want them to know what it means to me. It's a big part of who I am.

Did you miss it after you got married?
No. Maybe that was because I had worked so hard from the time I was 16, and for so long since, that I wanted to take some time off and do my own thing. I am a very private person. I was enjoying marriage and motherhood.

Dangerous Ishq is about reincarnations. Do you believe in that?

When Vikram offered me the film, I didn't believe in the concept but was intrigued. Before shooting started I read a lot on the subject and discussed it with many people who have done things like past-life regression. It has been an intriguing experience for me to learn so much! The audience will get to know more about past life and how our karmas are connected. Now I believe in reincarnation because I've met so many people who have gone through that. I do believe in a soul connection today.

How do you juggle time as a workingwoman and a mother?
It's all about balancing everything right. As long as you have your priorities right, you can balance out everything. I wasn't ready before and my kids needed me too. Vikram has been extremely accommodating with timings and holidays whenever I've needed a break. Becoming a mother has been the best experience of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Why have you signed just one film till now?
I've been reading many scripts and you'll be hearing of my next film pretty soon!

Dangerous Ishq is going to be the biggest challenge for Karisma’s career. Not only does she have to train herself in martial arts, she will also play five different roles across five different lifetimes covering various events; spanning from the ancient spiritual times to the partition of India, assassination of ex-prime minister Indira Gandhi to present day politics.
