Sunday Trivia - Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan's only film together still stirs nostalgia
Back in 2002, Bollywood witnessed a unique onscreen pairing that blended two very different film legacies. They were none other than
Karisma Kapoor
and
Abhishek Bachchan
, in the romantic drama 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya'.
Though the film didn't become a box office sensation, it holds a special place in Bollywood's memory lane, as it remains the only film the duo starred in together.
A Love Triangle on Screen
Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya brought together Karisma and Abhishek alongside
Akshay Kumar
in a classic love triangle. The film tells the story of Pooja (Karisma), who sacrifices her rising career for a marriage with Shiv (Abhishek).
Issues happen in their relationship as misunderstandings and suspicion take center stage. Believing Shiv is unfaithful, Pooja leaves and eventually finds solace in Raj (Akshay), a kind-hearted man who falls deeply in love with her.
Shiv returns just when Pooja starts rebuilding her life. This forces her to choose between the past and the present. At last she chooses to reunite with her husband.
A Glimpse of Real-Life Romance
What made the film even more intriguing at the time was the real-life engagement between Karisma and Abhishek.

The couple was briefly engaged. The announcement made headlines across the country. Sadly the relationship ended abruptly due to reported family disagreements. Karisma went on to marry Sunjay Kapur in 2003, while Abhishek later tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai in 2007.
One-Time Pairing That Lives On in Memory
Though they never worked together again, 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya' remains a rare cinematic collaboration between two members of Bollywood royalty.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan's recent outing 'Housefull 5' is doing well at the box office, with decent reviews from the audiences.

Brad Pitt flirted with the supermodel extras on the 'F1' set? Here's what we know
Brad Pitt , the 'F1' star, was all over the supermodel extras on the set of the film, despite being in an alleged serious relationship with Ines de Ramon. The insiders claim the 61-year-old actor was a big flirt, and exuded his charm even if he wore a helmet or was behind the mask. Brad Pitt was a kid in a candy store... According to Radar Online, Brad Pitt decided to lean into the glamour of the Formula 1 world, which certainly translated in the movie. 'It also gave Brad plenty of opportunities to flirt up a storm between takes, even if he was in his racing helmet or behind a mask,' the insider added. While the actor didn't advance his gestures (at least not that anyone's aware), Brad behaved like a kid in the candy store. 'Brad has always been a big flirt; he can't help himself,' the report noted. Pitt enjoyed the attention he received from the crew, as he was the biggest star on the film, and made sure that they showered him with compliments. The flirt in the question was about the small talk he had, including how beautiful they looked, and him asking about grabbing a lunch or a coffee. Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Meanwhile, Brad Pitt has been dating Ines de Ramon for more than two years, and while there haven't been any definitive plans about saying 'I do' after walking down the aisle, she is said to be expecting a sparkling ring on her finger sooner rather than later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 29만원 이벤트 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo 'It certainly wasn't the type of behaviour you'd expect to see from someone with a serious girlfriend. But Brad is very much his own man, and he's always been this way,' the source said, adding that the previous partners also had complaints about his flirting. 'If Ines wants to stay with Brad and build a future with him, this is something she'll have to live with, because ultimately, Brad's not going to change his ways for anybody,' the report concluded.

Chitrangda Singh Regrets Saying No To Tanu Weds Manu, Gangster: 'I Made Those Mistakes'
Last Updated: Chitrangda Singh opens up about rejecting 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Gangster' and missing Shah Rukh Khan's 'Chalte Chalte'. 'I made those mistakes,' she admits. Chitrangda Singh, who was recently seen in Housefull 5, sat down for a candid conversation with SCREEN where she looked back at her 20-year journey in Bollywood. The actress opened up about her unconventional path in the industry, her nine-year-long sabbatical, missed career-defining roles, and how personal challenges shaped her trajectory. Reflecting on her debut film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and how the years have flown by, Chitrangda shared, 'It's been a very quick 20 years. When I look back, I feel like I have gotten far more than I expected. I don't think I was a very ambitious person. I didn't think I was going to go places. I was quite happy that I would get married and just have a good time; I never had a vision for myself. I feel that everything has been more than I expected. In 20 years, there have been 9 years of breaks in between. 11 years of working and people have not forgotten me, so I feel grateful." Asked whether a film like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi could be made today, she expressed hope for more meaningful cinema: 'I wish films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi get made because cinema should not just be for entertainment alone. There are films to entertain, and then there should be films about certain matters which need to go on record as cinema history. I wish we did more films like that." On her long sabbatical, Chitrangda explained the reasons that kept her away from the screen: 'The first seven years of break were because of my personal life, my commitment to that, and I had a son. I came back, and then I took another two-year break because I was going through a rough patch in my personal life again. In between that also I did not have the kind of work that I was looking for coming my way, so I decided to not be around because I was also going through my emotional ups and downs and I didn't want to do stuff that I won't be happy doing. So there was a rollercoaster of life going on. So yes, I did not do as much work as I probably would have wanted to do." The actress also opened up about the major films she missed out on during that time and how those decisions still linger. 'I have made those mistakes. I said no to Anurag Basu's Gangster. I refused Tanu Weds Manu. In Mangal Pandey, I said no to the role that Ameesha Patel played. There was one more that I am forgetting, and then there was Chalte Chalte that starred Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, which I wasn't around for at all. They had run into some trouble and wanted to desperately cast someone. SRK had told me this. Saeed Mirza had loved my work, and they were looking for me. Juhi Chawla's brother Bobby was looking for my number. I had worked with SRK on an ad film when he had told me all this." Despite the detours, Chitrangda's presence and impact have endured. She continues to believe in the power of authentic storytelling and meaningful roles. On the work front, she confirmed that another commercial film is underway and that she will be announcing a new project this September. First Published: June 22, 2025, 14:17 IST
