Karisma Kapoor And Sunjay Kapur Took A 'Patch-Up' Trip To Goa, Revealed Kareena: 'They Had Problems'
In 2005, Kareena Kapoor addressed rumours about her sister Karisma Kapoor's troubled marriage with Sunjay Kapur.
Back in 2005, rumours were flying thick and fast about Karisma Kapoor's marriage with Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur hitting a rough patch. The couple, who had tied the knot in a high-profile ceremony in 2003, were suddenly the subject of relentless media speculation.
At the time, Kareena Kapoor was busy filming a Priyadarshan movie in Chennai when she finally decided to address the whispers around her sister's marriage. Speaking candidly with Rediff, she called out the pressure that public scrutiny had placed on the couple, while insisting that things between Karisma and Sanjay were on the mend.
'So much has been written about it. So many of our well-wishers had predicted doomsday for the marriage. But we knew it can be sorted out, and it was. Come on, which marriage doesn't have problems? But if the entire crisis is up for public debate, it naturally becomes harder to solve the tangle."
Kareena said her sister's marriage was 'back on track" and added that Karisma and Sanjay were making an effort to rebuild their relationship. The couple had apparently taken a trip to Goa to try and repair things away from the spotlight, but the media attention followed them even there. Kareena had also shared that their daughter Samaira, who was born in March 2005, played a crucial role in bringing them closer. The couple had moved to their Delhi home soon after.
'Of course it's going to work. My sister and Sanjay [Kapur] love each other. Sure, they had problems. But they were aggravated due to constant media attention. The prying became unbearable when cameras followed them to Goa where they had gone for a patch-up holiday."
She added, 'Samaira is a great cementing force between them," says Kareena. 'In fact, Sanjay is playing a polo tournament soon, and the prize has been named after Samaira. It will be the Samaira Trophy. That's how much he loves his daughter."
While Karisma and Sanjay eventually parted ways years later, this throwback to Kareena's fiercely protective and heartfelt support for her sister during a tough time offers a glimpse into the pressures celebrity families face behind the scenes.
Sunjay) Kapur, the businessman and former husband of Karisma Kapoor, died on 12 June 2025 after a tragic incident during a polo match at Windsor's Guards Polo Club. While playing in the semi-final of the Queen's Cup, he accidentally swallowed a bee, which is believed to have stung him in the mouth or throat. The sting triggered a severe allergic reaction, leading to a fatal heart attack. He was 53 years old at the time.

Barsaat Director On Keeping Priyanka Chopra As Lead After Akshay Kumar Quit: 'Shaadishuda Aadmiyon Ko…'
Last Updated: Suneel Darshan explains Akshay Kumar's sudden exit from Barsaat and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on. Behind every Bollywood hit, there are stories that fans never hear about. One such story is why Akshay Kumar suddenly left the 2005 film Barsaat. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, known for his successful films with Akshay in the early 2000s, has now opened up about the real reasons behind the actor's unexpected exit and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on as the lead actress. Darshan revealed that Akshay was going through serious personal issues at the time. 'There was a lot of turbulence in his personal life," he said. The film's shoot had actually started with both Akshay and Priyanka, and Darshan confirmed this saying, 'Ab toh gaana YouTube pe hai. Maine Akshay aur Priyanka ka shoot… woh film shoot hui thi, I know. Haan, woh shoot hui thi film." However, the situation changed when Akshay approached him with a difficult request. 'Usne mujhe poocha ki, 'Bhai, agar yeh mere bina ho sake, personal issues ki wajah se…' Toh main toh yeh maanta hoon ki actors ko bahot responsible hona chahiye, aur shaadishuda aadmiyon ko toh aur bhi zyada responsible hona chahiye." Despite the upheaval, Darshan made a conscious decision to keep Priyanka Chopra in the film. He explained, 'Yeh mera faisla tha, kyunki main chahta tha ki Priyanka Chopra ko us haadse ki responsibility ka onus na doon." He did not want the actress to carry the burden of the drama surrounding Akshay's exit. 'Aur main sochta tha, bhai, jiska mere se gehra sambandh tha — jitna bhi tha — woh toh Akshay hi kehta tha ki 'main tujhe apna kya samajhta hoon'… Woh toh us waqt shayad kisi tape mein mil bhi jaaye." The turmoil went beyond just the film. Rumours of a relationship between Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra reportedly created tension in Akshay's marriage to Twinkle Khanna. Akshay and Priyanka, who were once a hit pair on screen with films like Andaaz and Aitraaz, stopped working together after this incident. Over the years, Priyanka has rarely spoken about the situation. But during a recent promotion for her Hollywood film Heads of State, she made a brief, respectful mention of Akshay, showing she holds no grudges. Suneel Darshan summed it up with a grounded view on the situation: 'Lekin kya hota hai, galti karna insaan ki fitrat hoti hai — aur producer ko maar khana uski taqdeer mein hota hai."

Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay Kapur's Daughter Samaira Makes RARE Appearance, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor was recently spotted by the paparazzi in Mumbai, and the video has gone viral! Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor and her late ex-husband Sunjay Kapur's daugter Samaira Kapoor was recently spotted by the paparazzi in Mumbai. While she usually prefers to stay away from the paparazzi, she made a rare public appearance during a recent outing in the city. Although the 20-year-old didn't pose for the paparazzi, she was spotted quickly getting into her car and chatting with someone in the backseat. A video shared by Instant Bollywood on Instagram shows Samaira Kapoor stepping inside the car. She looked stunning in a black dress and had her hair tied back in a half bun hairstyle. She was seen happily interacting with someone in the car. The video went viral on social media, with fans pointing out that she has grown up to look just like her mom, Karisma. 'Like mother like daughter," wrote one fan, while another one commented, 'She luks like young karisma." A third netizen commented, 'She is so beautiful and simple Gorgeous." Check out the video below! Karisma Kapoor, who was married to businessman Sunjay Kapur from 2003 to 2016, shares two children with him- 20-year-old daughter Samaira, and 14-year-old son Kiaan. In 2020, when asked whether Samaira aspires to venture into Bollywood, Karisma Kapoor told Spotboye, 'That's not true. My daughter and her group of friends are interested in films through all aspects of movies, so whether it will be behind the scenes or in front of the camera I still do not know. They are just experimenting now and learning the ropes. So right now there are no such plans per se. Above all, Samaira is very young and still in school. This whole project is like an extra-curricular activity." More recently, following the untimely demise of Karisma's ex-husband Sunjay Kapur in June, speculation surrounding his estate and inheritance has dominated headlines. According to a report by Pinkvilla, insiders close to the Kapur family have confirmed that Karisma Kapoor has no involvement in any inheritance or property-related matters following Sunjay's passing. 'She is not involved in any inheritance or property-related matters in any way. The children are the rightful heirs and will receive what is due to them. Karisma's focus right now is only the well-being of her children," a source told the publication. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
