Karimova is the founder of the Forum of Culture and Arts of Uzbekistan Foundation. Many believed that she would have replaced her father as President of Uzbekistan, however, after 2013, Gulnara had conflict with her father, and she began to rapidly lose influence in Uzbekistan.[3][4]
Karimova was placed under house arrest in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in November 2014 because of money laundering.[5]
