Following the success of her acclaimed series Brown and the overwhelming response to India's Best Dancer Season 5 , Karisma Kapoor continues to strike a fine balance between compelling screen performances and meaningful television appearances. The actor is now set to showcase yet another side of her personality as she joins Fevicreate Idea Labs Season 3 as a judge.


The four-episode grand finale, airing over two weekends beginning tomorrow on Nickelodeon and JioHotstar, will see Karisma mentor and celebrate some of India's brightest young minds across two age categories—5 to 8 years and 9 to 14 years. Chosen from over 3,00,000 applicants, the 12 finalists will present innovative ideas centred around art, well-being and science, with Karisma encouraging creativity, curiosity and original thinking throughout the competition.


While audiences have long associated Karisma with glamour, cinema and dance, her presence on the show highlights another facet of her personality. Judging a platform dedicated to children's imagination and innovation reflects the trust she commands across genres, as well as her ability to connect with young participants through encouragement, empathy and genuine curiosity.
Coming on the heels of Brown, which reaffirmed her versatility as an actor, and the continued success of India's Best Dancer Season 5, the show further reinforces her ability to seamlessly transition between performance-driven entertainment and purpose-led, family-oriented programming. As an actor, National Award winner and mother, Karisma brings a unique perspective to the judging panel, making mentorship just as important as celebrating talent.


Speaking about the experience, Karisma Kapoor said, "What I loved most about Fevicreate Idea Labs was that it celebrates something every child naturally has—curiosity and imagination. We often associate judging with performance, but here it was about listening to ideas, understanding how young minds think and encouraging them to dream a little bigger. Spending time with these children was genuinely inspiring because they look at the world with such honesty and originality. As someone who is a mother myself, I found that especially meaningful, and I hope every child watching feels encouraged to keep creating, asking questions and believing in their ideas."
