For engagement ke baad shaadi ka din postpone hote gaya. Ultimately, they never got married.”When asked why the marriage did not happen, he replied, “Kai reasons log dete hain.

The engagement lasted only a few months
Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor officially announced their engagement in October 2002 during Amitabh Bachchan’s 60th birthday celebrations. However, the engagement lasted only a few months before being called off in January 2003.Over the years, various media outlets have speculated about the reasons for the split. A widely reported theory suggested that Karisma’s mother, Babita, allegedly wanted a prenuptial agreement and financial guarantees for her daughter, due to concerns about the Bachchan family’s business situation at the time. However, neither the Bachchan family nor the Kapoor family have ever officially confirmed these claims or revealed the exact reason behind the break-up.Both ended their lives. Abhishek Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai on 20 April 2007 and the couple welcomed their daughter Aaradhya. Karisma Kapoor married industrialist Sunjay Kapur in September 2003. They had two children, Samaira and Kiaan, before their marriage ended in divorce in 2016. Karisma has previously described that phase of her life as deeply traumatic.
