Karisma Kapoor Was 'Traumatised' After Abhishek Bachchan Breakup: 'I Was Forced To...'
Last Updated: Karisma credited her Kapoor clan for helping her overcome her trauma and supporting her through the tough time. Once engaged to Abhishek Bachchan in 2002, Karisma Kapoor was poised to become the Bachchan family's bahu. However, the engagement was broken off months later. Although Abhishek and Karisma had reportedly been in a serious relationship for five years, they called off their wedding soon after announcing their engagement. In an old interview with Subhash K Jha, Karisma said it was a traumatic experience. She credited her Kapoor clan for helping and supporting her through the tough time. Karisma Kapoor had said, '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." She added, '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." While the real reason behind Karisma and Abhishek's breakup is known only to them and their loved ones, Amitabh Bachchan once blamed it on unfavourable circumstances. In 2005, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan appeared on the first season of Karan Johar-hosted reality show Koffee With Karan and 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." In 2003, Karisma married Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur. But their union quickly unravelled, eventually leading to a highly public and bitter divorce battle in 2014. While the couple initially filed for divorce through mutual consent, the case escalated into an ugly legal fight filled with serious allegations. Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai in 2007. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in 2011. First Published:
