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.

Police: In 2022, Abhishek impersonated his brother
Police said Abhishek Kumar (then 22) had cleared the CISF constable recruitment exam in Noida on May 18, 2022 while posing as his younger brother Sachin Kumar. Later, out on bail, he sat for UP police constable direct recruitment exam in 2024 under his own name. But his past caught up. DSP (Etah) Gyanendra Pratap Singh said, "The omission came to light during a routine police verification, which usually takes place ahead of training. Abhishek was re-arrested in Etah Wednesday evening. Further investigations are on." SHO (Awagarh) Avdesh Kumar Dixit added, "Abhishek belongs to Katelia under Awagarh thana in Etah. In 2022, he impersonated his younger brother as he was overage for the CISF exam." An FIR was initially registered against 'Sachin Kumar' at Noida's Ecotech-III police station under IPC Sections 419 (cheating by personation), 420 (cheating and dishonesty), 467 (forgery) and 471 (using a forged document as genuine) after a complaint by CISF commandant Naresh Joshi, who was overseeing the recruitment process in 2022. After his arrest, Abhishek was remanded in custody as 'Sachin'. A chargesheet was filed on July 23, 2022 and the case remains pending in a Noida court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 中年以降であれば、このゲームは必須です。 BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo In 2024, Abhishek tried his luck again and appeared for UP police exam.

India's Leading Tarot Coach Harpreet Kaur And Abhishek K Madan Inspire Change at SBR 2025 with Hema Malini
For over 100 spirited women and spiritual seekers, the Soulful Business Retreat 2025 wasn't just an event; it felt like sitting in the living classroom as one of India's Tarot Coach Harpreet Kaur and Numerology expert Abhishek K Madan. The duo, co-founders of The Occult Academy, are known for blending deep spiritual wisdom with no-nonsense business coaching — and at SBR 2025, they didn't hold back. From the moment the first ritual began, you could feel trust and hope ripple through the hall. One participant whispered during a break, 'Harpreet ma'am doesn't just teach Tarot — she makes you believe in yourself again.' Hema Malini's blessing for the tribe Adding timeless grace to the weekend was Padma Shri Hema Malini ji as Chief Guest. Her message struck a chord: 'Women are never helpless. You are the creators, the Durga roop that this world needs.' It was a powerful reminder that every woman in the room carried untapped potential. Harpreet's style: gentle yet fierce Unlike typical workshops, Harpreet's sessions felt more like heart-to-heart conversations. She guided everyone through fear-busting exercises, gentle laughter breaks, and powerful Tarot lessons that left many first-timers amazed. Several students said they now trust her Tarot Course more than anything else online, calling it one of the best Tarot Courses in India for practical, clear learning. Meanwhile, Abhishek worked his quiet magic behind the scenes and on stage — breaking down spiritual business numbers, showing simple funnel tricks, and reminding everyone that strategy matters as much as faith. Real stories, real recognition Of course, there were happy tears too. Many long-time students were honoured with the Lakhpati Club, Hall of Fame, Empress Club, and Blue Diamond Awards. But if you asked them, they'd say the real award was feeling seen by their mentors and the community that now feels like family. One student laughed, 'My family called my Tarot practice a hobby — now my kids proudly tell neighbours their mom is a certified Tarot Coach with Harpreet Kaur!' Small tools, big daily shifts Between training sessions, the founders surprised everyone with a new tool: the Divine Whispers affirmation deck. Rooted in ancient Indian wisdom, this 54-card deck offers gentle daily nudges to trust your intuition. Many attendees tucked it into their handbags, promising to pick a card every morning before client readings. The book Fearless & Feminine was also unveiled with Hema Malini ji's blessings. Co-authored by Harpreet, Abhishek, and 27 women from The Occult Academy, it captures raw stories of fear, grit and new beginnings — a reflection of what these mentors stand for. Planting seeds that outlive an event As the final day wrapped up, you could see participants making promises to themselves: more readings, more clients, more self-belief. Abhishek and Harpreet didn't sugarcoat it — they reminded everyone that while a retreat lights the fire, it's the daily work that builds a real legacy. If the bright eyes, tight hugs and half-finished tea cups left on side tables said anything, it was this: SBR 2025 wasn't just another spiritual event. It was the proof that India's leading Tarot Coach and her partner have built a safe space where women rise — not just once, but again and again.
