Karisma Tanna threw light on how her parents reacted to her birth in latest interview.

The actress was never admired for being born and always received the worst from her family.

While sitting for a chat with Siddharth Kannan, the Grand Masti star actress stated, “my mother had told me when I was old enough that actually when I was born, my dad wasn’t happy. Because he wanted a son and there was family pressure, like typical Gujarati families.”

"They thought a son can carry forward their lineage, earn more and they are superior. My mom had two daughters. My granddad and grandmom used to give us second hand treatment. It made me strong, I will show them what a boy does can also be done by a girl."

Amidst suffering the pain and indifference, Karisma decided she would now support her family like a son instead  of   living the typical life of getting married and raising kids.
