This Actress Edged Out Madhuri, Ruled The 90s With Govinda, Got Rs 87 Crore In Divorce
Film stars who entertain their fans with dance, music, laughter, and spectacle often lead private lives far less glamorous than they seem.
Many, including the elegant Karisma Kapoor, have seen their dreams of marital bliss remain unfulfilled. A sensation in the 1990s with a large fan following to this day, Karisma Kapoor hails from a family deeply rooted in the film industry, yet her marriage did not meet with success.
Karisma Kapoor garnered immense critical acclaim, particularly for her standout performance in Yash Chopra's 1997 blockbuster Dil To Pagal Hai, which won her the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award, even over the legendary Madhuri Dixit.
Karisma Kapoor, celebrated for her dynamic dance performances in Bollywood, has appeared in numerous blockbusters like Coolie No. 1 (1995), Raja Hindustani (1996), Biwi No. 1 (1999), Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999) and Judwa (1997).
She was popular for starring in numerous hits alongside Govinda. Early in her career, her co-star Govinda predicted her rise to fame; a prediction that proved accurate, as she became one of the most talented and celebrated actresses of the 1990s.
At one point, Karisma Kapoor was engaged to Abhishek Bachchan, reportedly, through an arrangement by Jaya Bachchan, but life had other plans.
Karisma Kapoor married businessman Sanjay Kapoor in 2003; the couple parted ways in 2016. They share two children, Samaira and Kiaan. Her post-divorce life and career still draw public interest. Controversies once surrounded Karisma Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, but Sanjay Kapoor refuted them, and Karisma Kapoor later dismissed them as mere rumours.
Post-divorce, Karisma Kapoor's financial gains were substantial, including a house in Khar, bonds valued at Rs 14 crore generating a monthly interest of Rs 10 lakh for the children, alimony worth Rs 87 crore, and her wedding jewellery. Her ex-husband Sanjay Kapoor's sudden passing from a heart attack while playing golf drew media attention recently.

On its second Friday, Saiyaara added Rs 17.50 crore to its tally, pushing the total box office collection to Rs 190 crore. The film had a record-breaking opening with Rs 21.5 crore on day one and saw its highest single-day figure on Sunday at Rs 35.75 crore.

The Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer is now outperforming several Bollywood biggies. With its latest collection, Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime business of Sikandar, Sitaare Zameen Par, and Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, which ended its run at Rs 183.3 crore. With no major releases this Friday—Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 has been postponed to August 1—Saiyaara is expected to continue its blockbuster run through its second weekend as well. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films' CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara revolves around the love story of Krish Kapoor, an aspiring musician played by Ahaan Panday, and Vaani Batra, portrayed by Aneet Padda. The film explores their romance and heartbreak, especially after a dramatic twist forces Vaani to walk away from Krish. Critics and audiences alike have praised the film's fresh storytelling, the sizzling chemistry between the leads, and its chartbuster music, which has become a viral sensation. With glowing word-of-mouth and no competition in theatres, Saiyaara is well on its way to entering the Rs 200 crore club soon.
