'It is time I spoke. I owe it to everyone. The beginning of this year was traumatic for me. I wouldn't wish any girl to go through it. I was forced to deal with my hurt and pain on my own. I guess time is the best healer. Though I have been through a lot, I have come to terms with whatever has happened. All I will say is, whatever is destined is bound to happen. I was emotionally unprepared to confront my problems. Life deals you different cards. You have to just go with the shuffle," Karisma told Subhash Jha.
'I want to thank the media for being so understanding and supportive. Everyone left me alone. I don't want to say anything more on this except that I couldn't have come out my trauma if it wasn't for my parents [Babita and Randhir Kapoor], sister [Kareena], my Dadiji [Krishna Raj Kapoor], my two Buas [Rima Jain and Ritu Nanda] and my close friends," she added.
While the real reason behind this breakup is only known to them, in 2005 when Big B and Abhishek Bachchan appeared on Koffee With Karan, the veteran actor said, 'It was a sensitive moment. Relationships are being formed, relationships are being destroyed. It can be distressing for any young man, and obviously distressing for the family. We don't wish that to happen to anyone, but if the circumstances are not conducive for a union, then it's better that you go different ways. That's what happened."

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor joined thousands across the country to mark the 11th International Day of Yoga, celebrating the transformative power of yoga for both body and mind. Kapoor, who has been vocal about his own fitness journey, called the day a 'moment of pride" for India as yoga continues to resonate with people around the world. Speaking to the media during the celebrations, Kapoor said, 'I feel happy and proud to celebrate this day with everyone. India should take pride in how yoga has become a global phenomenon. It's one of the most significant gifts we've given the world. Yoga is not just a fitness trend — it's a holistic approach to living." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Voompla (@voompla) Highlighting the accessibility and inclusivity of the practice, he added, 'Yoga has no age limit. You can begin at any stage of your life and grow at your own pace. It's a combination of movement and meditation that nourishes both the body and the soul." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@snehzala) Kapoor also praised the efforts of Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who brought together over 1,000 women for a mass yoga session. 'It's amazing to see women and young girls coming together to inspire each other. Amruta ji's initiative is commendable — there's truly nothing more empowering than women leading wellness from the front," he said. Reflecting on his own path to wellness, Kapoor shared that he was once a 'plump teenager" and that his transformation wasn't instant. 'Change doesn't happen overnight. You have to begin somewhere — even if it's just walking for ten minutes a day or practicing yoga for twenty minutes. It's about finding balance and building consistency," he advised. Encouraging others to take the first step, Kapoor said, 'Don't wait for Monday or a perfect time. Start now. If it doesn't go well today, try again tomorrow. It took me four years to reach here. If I can do it, so can you." Joining Kapoor at the event was actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who also voiced her love for yoga. 'It's energising. If you include yoga in your daily routine, it nourishes your mind, body, and soul," she told ANI. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Voompla (@voompla) This year's International Day of Yoga was celebrated under the global theme, 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health", reaffirming the deep connection between individual well-being and planetary health.

Intermittent Fasting 2 / 8 By limiting his meals to a specific window, Kapoor naturally adopted intermittent fasting.

For him, it was a complete mental and physical reset, not a temporary fix.
