Karishma has been actively engaged in advocacy over the last 10 years. What started off as participating in theater arts and public appearances to felicitate celebrities representing NGO’s has grown into actively contributing to the welfare of the community and promoting an inclusive society.
Through her art, theater, public appearances and charity initiatives, she has advocated the philosophy of “Believe in yourself” and the spirit of “No one should be left behind”.
I experienced the ‘MOVEMENT’ that brought many beautiful hearts together through ART !
What made it special is that we shared our similarities and abilities, and celebrated our differences and I realised, strength lies in embracing the differences.
I learnt from my Nimmi Didi Nirmalaa Krishnan M to give endless supply of love…Live to Love and Love to Give.
The event was so well executed and supported. I felt honoured and included in true sense and loved my role as Brand Ambassador! I am happy that 5 of my paintings were used well in support for this cause. More than 300 schools came together and participate. So many life’s changed! My Alma Mater – Shristi Special Academy also participated with Dayanand Sagar School! Thanks to ALL who came together to join hands to support INCLUSION 🌻❤️🎨🌻
