Mumbai, Jun 26 (IANS): Actress Karisma Kapoor was all oomph as she posed in a black monokini for an age-defying picture taken on her 45 birthday on Tuesday.

Karisma celebrated her birthday with sister Kareena Kapoor Khan and mother Babita in London.

Posting the photograph in which she was seen chilling by the poolside with the azure blue sea and clear sky making for a perfect backdrop, Karisma wrote on her Instagram page: "Love yourself at every age. #nofilter #birthdaymood."

In some other photographs splashed across the social media, she was seen treating her nephew Taimur Ali Khan with a piece of her birthday cake.

It has been over seven years since the audience saw the actress on the big screen.

In an interview, she told IANS that she chose not to do full-fledged roles in films for a while as she wanted to be at home with her young children.

She returned to face the camera, but for an OTT project, ALTBalaji's "Mentalhood".
