Why didn't Karisma Kapoor become Abhishek Bachchan's wife? Amitabh Bachchan once talked about...
In the glitz of Bollywood, few stories are as layered — and quietly tragic — as that of Karisma Kapoor. From a broken engagement with a Bachchan heir to a turbulent marriage that ended in divorce, her personal journey reads like a script that never made it to the screen. Before marrying businessman Sanjay Kapur in 2003, Karisma Kapoor was engaged to none other than Abhishek Bachchan. The two had even co-starred in Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya (2002), during which their real-life bond blossomed. Their engagement was formalised — but short-lived. The split sent shockwaves through the industry. Years later, Amitabh Bachchan finally addressed the broken alliance on Koffee With Karan. In a rare moment of candour, he said, 'It was a sensitive time. Relationships were being formed, and some were breaking. We didn't want anyone to get hurt, but when circumstances force you to part, it's better to let go.' He added that such moments build maturity, adding, 'If we are honest with ourselves, even heartbreak teaches something valuable. My father always said, 'If things go your way, it's good. If not, it's still good — because it's God's way.' In 2003, the same year her engagement with Abhishek ended, Karisma married Delhi-based industrialist Sanjay Kapur. The marriage, arranged under pressure, was rocky. Notably, the entire Bachchan family was absent from the wedding. By 2016, Karisma and Sanjay parted ways legally, and she has since raised their two children as a single mother. The past week brought another twist of fate — the sudden death of her ex-husband, Sanjay Kapur. Though long separated, the news cast a somber cloud over Karisma and her family. Through public heartbreaks and private battles, Karisma Kapoor remains one of Bollywood's most poised figures — her silence often saying more than words.
