But then I thought that someone is thinking about casting me in a Bollywood film, which is big for me)."

Amitabh Bachchan once opened up about son Abhishek Bachchan's emotional struggle after broken engagement with Karisma Kapoor: 'It can be distressing for any young man...'
Before Abhishek Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai, his engagement to Karisma Kapoor ended abruptly, shocking many. Amitabh Bachchan later reflected on the emotional impact this had on Abhishek and the family, viewing it as a difficult but formative experience. Karisma subsequently married Sunjay Kapur, but their marriage ended in divorce, and Kapur tragically passed away in 2025 due to cardiac arrest. Before Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai , he was once engaged to Karisma Kapoor—a relationship that had all of Bollywood buzzing. What seemed like a perfect union between two celebrated film families came to an abrupt end, leaving fans shocked. Years later, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about the emotional toll the broken engagement took on his son and their family, calling it a difficult yet defining moment in their lives. In a 2005 episode of Koffee With Karan , Amitabh opened up about Abhishek and Karisma's called-off wedding. He described it as a sensitive and distressing time for the family, especially for Abhishek. Amitabh said that while such situations are painful, parting ways is sometimes the better option if circumstances aren't favourable for a lasting union. In the same conversation, Bug B reflected on the emotional toll the broken engagement took on the family but called it a part of God's plan. He shared that such life events, though painful, help shape a person and make them stronger. Quoting a life lesson, he said that when things go your way, it's good—but when they don't, it's even better, because it's part of a divine plan, and God never wishes harm upon you. It was widely speculated at the time that Karisma and Abhishek's sudden split was influenced by Karisma's mother, Babita. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Reports suggested that Babita, concerned about her daughter's financial security—especially given that Karisma was already a top actress while Abhishek was still finding his footing—allegedly insisted on a prenuptial agreement. However, it was believed that Amitabh Bachchan did not agree to this, leading to the wedding being called off. Just months after her engagement to Abhishek was called off, Karisma married Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur in September 2003. However, the marriage soon took a bitter turn. Karisma later filed for divorce. After a prolonged two-year legal battle, the couple were officially granted a divorce in 2016, with Karisma receiving custody of their children. Tragically, on June 12, 2025, Sunjay Kapur passed away following a sudden cardiac arrest.
