She has never been the one who would have the media eating out of her hands, though she has never shirked the press deliberately. But if at all, one were to make an attempt to describe Karisma as a person, it would be an uphill task — she is not open, is rather shy and would hate to talk about her costars, and hates "snooping journalists prying into her private life."

It thus came as a pleasant surprise to get a call from Karisma for the scribes who figured it had to be an important announcement. Well, important it did turn out to be but sadly there wasn`t any announcement, though reading between the lines, one could look forward to expecting one soon. Karisma is off to Switzerland on a four-week sojourn along with friends, co stars and hold your breath — the Bachchans.

It has become a practice for stars to rake it in during their holidays abroad when they agree to do shows and even shoot for a song or two — all at the producers` expense. But the introvert Krisma refused to divulge more. You need not Lolo. Just a mere mention of a surname says it all. And you call the fourth estate `nosy parkers`?
