In the video, Jaya can be heard saying, “I would, with the Bachchan and Nanda family, welcome another family into our group and that’s the Kapoors – Randhir and Babita Kapoor. And to be my daughter-in-law, Karisma Kapoor. That’s Abhishek’s gift to his parents on his father’s 60th birthday.” This revelation has reignited discussions about the past relationship between Abhishek and Karisma, which was reportedly close before being called off.
As Aishwarya and Abhishek celebrate 16 years of marriage, speculation regarding their potential separation remains unaddressed by the couple. The resurfacing of the video has elicited various reactions from netizens. One user remarked, “Maybe Bachchan’s fame was sinking at that point of time, so the relationship didn’t go any further! Salute to Amitabh Bachchan… the way he built his family wealth and status once again!”
Another user observed, “Karisma was actually very happy; look at her face.” Some comments even alluded to the depth of Abhishek and Karisma’s past relationship, with one user suggesting, “I think they were actually in love; you should see both Abhishek and Lolo after the engagement was called off.”
While both Abhishek and Karisma have moved on with their lives—Abhishek marrying Aishwarya in 2007 and Karisma tying the knot with businessman Sanjay Kapur in 2003—their relationship remains a topic of intrigue. Their marriage, however, faced challenges, leading to a divorce in 2016.
The reasons behind Abhishek and Karisma’s broken engagement remain shrouded in mystery. Some reports suggest interference from Babita Kapoor, Karisma’s mother, in the Bachchan family’s personal matters, while others indicate that Jaya Bachchan asked Karisma to give up her acting career before marriage, a request Karisma was not willing to accept. Despite various theories, the true reasons for the couple’s split have never been fully clarified.
As the public speculates about the Bachchan family’s current dynamics, the resurfacing of Jaya Bachchan’s video serves as a reminder of the complex relationships and past choices that continue to shape the narratives of Bollywood’s most famous families. The online chatter about Abhishek, Aishwarya, and Karisma highlights the enduring fascination with celebrity relationships and the stories that remain untold.
