Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were one of the most beloved couples in the Bollywood industry. The duo met at Abhishek’s sister Shweta Bachchan’s wedding with Nikhil Nanda, who is Karisma’s cousin. The actors soon fell in love and sparked dating rumours. In 2002, Jaya Bachchan made the big engagement announcement of the duo on Amitabh Bachchan’s 60th birthday and welcomed Karisma into their family. The fans were delighted to hear the news and eagerly waited for their wedding announcement.

However, Abhishek Bachchan’s engagement with Karisma Kapoor didn’t last long, and the news of their wedding being called off spread like wildfire. Both families made an announcement stating the duo’s separation. After some time, the father-son duo made an appearance in Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan. Addressing the same news, Big B said, “It was a sensitive moment. Relationships are being formed, relationships are being destroyed. It can be distressing for any young man, and obviously distressing for the family. We don’t wish that to happen to anyone, but if the circumstances are not conducive for a union, then it’s better that you go your different ways. That’s what happened."

In the same show, Amitabh Bachchan also shared that whatever happened was god’s will and gave them a learning lesson. “I think all these episodes in one’s life are the episodes that will improve him as a human being, make him a better man, teach him to face the world in a much stronger way. If I may be absolutely, brutally honest, it gives you an opportunity of learning in the profession we are in. ‘Mann ka ho toh acha, Mann ka naa ho toh aur zyaada acha, woh fir bhagwaan ke mann ka hota hai aur bhagwaan aapke liye, kabhi bura nahi chahega,” he said.

After the shocking split, several rumours were spread about the actual cause behind the separation. Reportedly, it was said that the real reason behind this fallout was Karisma’s mother, Babita. The Bachchans were already going through some financial losses and Babita wanted to secure her daughter’s future.
