Karisma Kapoor joins Fevicreate Idea Labs season 3 as judge; mentoring young creators

After dazzling audiences in the film Brown and showcasing her dancing prowess on India’s Best Dancer Season 5, Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor has stepped into a new television role as a judge on Fevicreate Idea Labs Season 3. The four‑episode finale, which will air over two weekends beginning tomorrow on Nickelodeon and JioHotstar, will see Kapoor mentoring the country’s most inventive young creators.

The competition, which attracted more than 300,000 applications, has whittled the field down to just 12 finalists. These contestants, grouped into two age brackets—5 to 8 years and 9 to 14 years—will present original concepts that span art, science and well‑being. Kapoor’s judging panel role focuses on encouraging creative thinking, celebrating originality, curiosity and problem‑solving, rather than simply evaluating performance.

Speaking about her new role, Kapoor said she was struck by the imagination and curiosity displayed by the children. “What I loved most about Fevicreate Idea Labs is that it celebrates something every child naturally has—curiosity and imagination,” she explained. “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.”

Kapoor also highlighted the personal fulfillment she found in spending time with the contestants. “Spending time with these children was genuinely inspiring because they look at the world with such honesty and originality,” she added. “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.”

With her latest television appearance, Kapoor continues to diversify her career beyond film and dance, adding mentorship and educational content to her growing list of projects. The show underscores her commitment to fostering learning, creativity and innovation among the next generation, while also expanding her presence on Indian television.
