After getting some initial TV exposure in London doing The Karisma Show,[10][better source needed] Karishma worked as a presenter for India-related TV show known as Spa Diaries, targeted to high-end international audiences. She said, "I was so fortunate that I got to travel the whole of India and it was absolutely amazing. It was complete luxury and I was so blessed to get that job."[6] Continuing in the TV industry, she next worked with a travel show called It's In.[10] In November 2010, Karishma took part in a Telugu dance reality show called Naacho Rrey on Zee Telugu.[33]

In October 2012, she participated in an Indian reality TV show, Bigg Boss Season 6 as a contestant on the TV Channel Colors.[2] However, she had to make an emergency exit from the Bigg Boss house after spending nearly four weeks due to her father's demise.[34] After leaving the show, she said in an interview with Rediff.com that she accepted the offer to do the show as her father, who had been unwell & was taken care of by Karishma, didn't want her to feel sad and wanted her to get noticed for a better career. After about 15 days of her exit, Karishma re-entered the show on day 42.[1] She told Network 18, "I am feeling quite okay now. This is because of my dad's blessing that Colors has given me another chance to join the show."[35][36] She was voted out of the show in December 2012.[37] Reacting about her eviction, she commented in an interview, "I would have definitely liked to stay till the end, but I can't complain. Being able to survive in the house (Bigg Boss show) for 80 odd days isn't a mean feat."[38] She also said, "I'll remember this experience all my life. It's been very interesting and emotional at the same time."[4] Karishma made a special appearance on the show later as a presenter on the day before the finale of the show in January 2013.[39] Talking about the recognition she received at the show, Karsishma told The Times of India, "Work has increased and yes, life has changed in terms of opportunities that are coming my way. It has been one of the toughest emotional journeys for me but it has definitely helped my career."[40]

Karishma presented televised show called Extraaa Innings T20, a post match analysis of Indian Premier League 2013 - season 6 in April–May 2013. The show was telecast by SET Max and also featured Rochelle Maria Rao, Samir Kochhar and Gaurav Kapoor as her co-hosts.[41][42] Karishma said in an interview, "Cricket is very close to every Indian's heart, so is IPL. I am definitely excited to travel all over the country, hosting the IPL and watching the matches live."[43]

Kotak was named the official presenter of the 2023 season of the Canadian T20 cricket tournament, Global T20.[44]

Personal life

She said in a web-interview, "I come from a big family. I've seven masis (maternal aunts), two mamas (maternal uncles) and lots of cousins. I've a lot of love around me. I don't like to argue much, and I'm a spiritual and strong person. I also like to read a lot."[4] She is fond of travelling and watching movies.[45] Karishma likes to stay fit by good diet, doing one hour spinning classes 5 days a week, and eating healthy.[4]
