On 29 September 2003, she married industrialist Sanjay Kapur, CEO of Sixt India. In typical Kapoor tradition, Karisma was married at her grandfather, the late Raj Kapoor's home, R K Cottage.

After the birth of her daughter, there was considerable rift between her and her husband. The couple has subsequently patched-up.
