In a new conversation, the filmmaker shared that he commenced the shoot of Barsaat with a song featuring Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra before things turned upside down. 'There was turbulence in his personal life after a point. He told me that there were some personal issues, and asked if the film could be made with only one of them. I feel all actors should be responsible, and married men should be even more responsible. But it is man's nature to make mistakes. And it is destined for producers to bear the brunt of their mistakes. I don't want to put the onus of responsibility for that 'haadsa' on Priyanka…' the filmmaker told Bollywood Bubble. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier, talking to Friday Talkies, Darshan had said, 'Kuch blunder aise ho chuke thay (He did some blunders). Some rumours about Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar started doing the rounds and Twinkle had left his home. As an actor you have to be responsible. If your wife has been an actress, she knows everything about the industry and she has also worked with all the big stars. She knew everything.' The filmmaker also said that he doesn't hold Priyanka responsible for the situation and added, 'I don't blame Priyanka Chopra for this. She was doing what was in her own interest.' In another interview with Vickey Lalwani, he had said, 'It's not about him not wanting to work with Priyanka Chopra. Circumstances had reached a point… The public, the media did mention a relationship, which the wife got to know of. But suddenly, after making me wait for 18 months, to say that I can't be a part of the film, I was shocked… He did want to compensate by saying he'd do the next film with me, but I just thought it was unbelievable, coming from Akshay.'

Everybody makes mistakes. Galtiyaan sabse ho jaati hai aur unse bhi hui hongi. But these girls were bought up with a lot of care and love. ' He further said, "I don't want to delve deeper than that because I'm not a part of their immediate family."

Karisma Kapoor-Abhishek Bachchan had good chemistry, their engagement ended due to external reasons, says Suneel Darshan: ‘A protective Babita…'
Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were among the most talked about couple in the early 2000s. After meeting each other at Nikhil Nanda and Shweta Bachchan's wedding in 1997, the couple dated for five years. In 2002, on the occasion of Amitabh Bachchan's 60th birthday, the Kapoor and Bachchan family announced their engagement. However, a few months later, the duo broke off their engagement. Both Kapoors and Bachchans refused to comment on the development, giving rise to several theories. One of which suggested that it was Karisma's mother who played a role in breaking up the couple. Theories also speculated that it majorly had to do with Abhishek Bachchan's unstable career and the ABCL controversy that left Big B bankrupt. Now, filmmaker-producer Suneel Darshan has shared details about Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor's broken relationship. In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, the filmmaker said, 'Destiny has brought a lot of turbulence in the lives of the Kapoor girls. That's how I would word it. A lot of turbulence and a lot of tumult. They are fortunate to have a protective mother like Babita, but maybe in the process of protecting them, she might have made some mistakes. She is human after all and not God. Everybody does mistake.' He added, 'These girls were brought up with lot of love, care and were supported for their careers. I don't want to delve deeper than this in this topic because I am not their immediate family.' When asked about chemistry between Abhishek and Karisma, the filmmaker shared it was similar to their chemistry in his 2002 film Han Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya (which was a box office disaster). In that film, Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor play colleagues-turned-lovers, who get married, but the former cheats on her only to be reunited at the end of the movie when she is about to marry the character of Akshay Kumar.

It was good until issues from the outside world began to enter their lives. They created the problems and disturbed their relationship.' Just a few months after breaking her relationship with Abhishek Bachchan, Karisma Kapoor married multi millionaire businessman Sunjay Kapur in 2003. She was his second wife and divorced him 13 years after their wedding after welcoming a son and a daughter.

Director On Karisma Kapoor And Abhishek Bachchan's Break-Up: "They Had Chemistry But..."
New Delhi: The romance between Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan was once the talk of the town. However, their relationship ultimately did not work out. Karisma got married to Sunjay Kapoor in 2003, whereas Abhishek married Aishwarya Rai in 2007. Now, filmmaker Suneel Darshan has revealed the reason behind their split, pointing fingers at external pressures. In a conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Suneel praised Karisma and Abhishek's on-screen and off-screen chemistry. The filmmaker said, "Chemistry was there, you have to watch Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya. Their chemistry in the film reflected their real-life bond." He further claimed that the breakup wasn't due to a lack of connection but rather external pressures. 'Sometimes the issue is from outside. Their inner space created the problems and disturbed the whole thing. I thought everything was good until that point,' Suneel added. Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan got engaged in October 2002. However, by January 2003, the engagement was called off without much explanation. In the same year, Karisma married Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapoor. Talking about Karisma's marriage to Sunjay, Suneel Darshan said, "She wanted to be a domesticated type of wife, but she became a character from a doll's house. She had seen the world, had done everything. She didn't want to be playing golf on a Saturday evening. She wanted to spend time at home with her family. She was more of a homely girl. It's very sad. I feel for her." When asked if Karisma had become a "trophy wife", Suneel said, "I think that's where the problems came from, for the family. That's what she had become. She was placed into a world that was not hers. Delhi has its own culture, and she wasn't fitting into that culture." Karisma and Sunjay became parents to daughter Samaira in 2005 and son Kiaan in 2011. The couple filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev. The businessman died on June 12 this year after suffering a heart attack while playing polo. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are proud parents to Aaradhya Bachchan, whom they welcomed in November 2011.
