According to the beauty lover, from London, her new employment lasted just one hour - as she was sacked 60 minutes after arriving.
The young woman claimed that it was all because of her outfit, which the HR at the company allegedly had an issue with.
Fuming, she took to Instagram where she showed off the clothing she was wearing - however, thousands of social media users seemed to agree with the employer.
Karishma allegedly arrived at her new job wearing a figure-hugging mini skirt with a high slit, which she had paired with almost sheer tights and chunky boots.
The outfit also included a cosy cropped knitted cardigan in a similar colour scheme, which featured a low-cut neckline.
Sharing the alleged incident to her 303k followers online, Karishma said: ''She doesn't know it yet but in one hour she's about to get fired by HR for her 'inappropriate and distracting' work outfit'. ''
Luckily, while it may have been brutal at the time, it seems that the young woman used the incident to truly focus on her ''dream''.
Karishma went on in the caption: ''If I don't get fired I would never have started working on my dream - literally there is no bigger proof than this when I say everything happens for a reason.''
The now-viral video has since taken the internet by storm, amassing more than an astronomical 5.2million views and over 32,000 likes.
Thousands of internet users flooded to comments where many agreed on one thing - the outfit was indeed not fit for work, they thought.

One person said: ''Baby you're in a short shirt skirt and a crop top HR is right.''
Someone else chimed in: ''I'm with the HR on this one.''
A third commented: ''inappropriate and unprofessional for a work setting. freelancer or not.
Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public?
The concept of being "dress coded" typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere.
In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules.
That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location:
Public Spaces: In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws.
Establishments and Venues: Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It's possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry.
Schools and Workplaces: Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire.
Cultural and Regional Considerations: In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It's always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling.
''This is a get coffee with the girls fit.''
A professional shared their view, writing: ''HR Director here. Girly pop you are so cute, the outfit looks fab on you.
''I do agree with the HR team that it's not work appropriate though.
''Freelance contractor or not, they DO have jurisdiction over the dress code for all people 'employed' by the company, regardless of your status as a full employee or not.
''Similar to how a business can require customers to wear shirts and shoes while on the premises.''

Harry Redknapp's £5million mansion 'is hit by a masked gang': Thugs raid home and flee with wife Sandra's jewellery
A masked gang raided Harry Redknapp's £5million Dorset mansion and stole his wife's jewellery, while police have launched a manhunt to find the thieves. The former Premier League manager and his wife Sandra, both 78, were out when a gang broke into their home last Friday, The Sun reports. The hammer-clad gang allegedly took jewellery belonging to Sandra, as well as other luxury items. A source told The Sun: 'It was clearly organised. The raiders must have known the house was empty.' It is feared that the thugs may have checked out the layout of the house, which is understood to be for sale, on a property website ad. The house is located near Dorset beach resort Sandbanks, where properties are among the most expensive in the world per square foot. The thieves, who were brandishing lump hammers and a sledgehammer to break the front door open, were captured on CCTV scouring through the property. 'They were caught on CCTV cameras breaking in and trying to ransack the property looking for valuables', the source added. 'It was clearly organised and they must have known the house was empty at the time.' Harry was reportedly attending a function on the night of the break-in, while Sandra was in London. Cops confirmed yesterday they were still hunting down the thieves. Daily Mail has approached Harry's representatives and Dorset Police for comment. The property is currently on sale, while the couple's new seaside villa at Sandbanks is completed. They moved into their current £7million home in 2021 after a lack of privacy. The former Tottenham and West Ham manager and his wife splashed out on their new waterside home on the exclusive peninsula and replaced the six bedroom detached house with a luxury three-storey villa built in 'a traditional Italianate architectural style'. Harry who won I'm A Celebrity in 2018, and his wife, have owned homes on spectacularly expensive Sandbanks or in Poole for over two decades. They bought one of the finest homes on Sandbanks - a mock Tudor mansion overlooking the entrance to the harbour – for £3m in 2001. Harry and Sandra are said to have sold the property for £6.9m in 2015 and moved to a brand new £4m mansion five bedroom beachside property just around the corner. They reportedly left the modern glass-fronted property on Sandbanks because they wanted more privacy after getting fed up with tourists staring at their home.

‘How is this allowed?', Destination X viewers rage amid safety fears as contestants hang 2,000ft in the air
DESTINATION X viewers were left in a rage amid safety fears as contestants hung 2,000 ft in the air. Gavin and Stacey actor Rob Brydon hosts the hit BBC globetrotting reality competition. 8 8 On Destination X, a group of players embark on an adventure where they travel across Europe on a specifically designed luxurious bus. However, their windows are blacked out and they have to guess where they are travelling as they are given various clues and peeks along the way. They are challenged to find out the answer to one simple question; where in the world are they? On each episode, the player who places their 'X' in a location that is the furthest from where they are actually located gets eliminated. The last contestant standing wins a life changing jackpot prize of £100,000, meaning alliances and rivalries are built over the course of the competition. In the most recent episode on BBC One, the contestants were split into two groups as they travelled up a mountain via corresponding cable cars. However, the transportation 'broke down' midway through the route, leaving the players confused. The teams would then compete in a physical challenge to try and win the game, as the winning team will carry on up to the top of the mountain where a clue would be waiting. As part of the 'rescue' themed task, the first clue is underneath the exterior of the cabin. Meaning, one player from each team would have to strap themselves into a harness. Fans stunned as THREE Destination X contestants are immediately axed in brutal opening twist They would then be left to climb out from the bottom of the cable car, as they are left effectively stranded 2000 feet in the air as the other contestants watch from inside. But many Destination X viewers were distracted by the logistics of the task itself as they were worried about the safety of each contributor. Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - as no safety experts appeared on camera, one fan enquired: "Do they have a safety team inside the cable car who knows about climbing and knots and stuff?" A second asked: "Wtf how is this allowed? Complete amateurs on the ropes." "Haven't there recently been cable car accidents? Suspending them for however long for entertainment seems a bit irresponsible," stated a third viewer. While someone else noted: "Cable car abseil task terrifying. Like I'm A Celeb on steroids." And a fifth user posted: "This is INSANE. He's hanging 2,000ft above air like it's nothing," accompanied by a string of crying emojis." 8 8 8 8 8
