Do you recall the occasion when Jaya Bachchan formally introduced Karisma Kapoor as her daughter-in-law on stage?
Abhishek Bachchan was deeply involved with Karisma Kapoor before Aishwarya Rai assumed the role of the family’s bahu. Back in the 2000s, their love relationship had drawn a lot of media interest. However, the actress and Abhishek became engaged in 2002 after dating for a while. However, their marriage was annulled for an undisclosed cause. According to rumours, Babita, Karisma’s mother, requested a pre-nuptial agreement because she doubted Abhishek’s acting prowess.
They called it off because Amitabh Bachchan would have found that annoying. We don’t know for sure because neither family discussed the issue. However, Jaya had once even introduced Karisma as their daughter-in-law when their marriage was practically sealed.
When introducing Karisma Kapoor as her daughter-in-law at a gathering in front of the public, Jaya Bachchan may be seen in this old film clip saying, “I would, on behalf of my family – the Bachchan family, with the 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.”
However, there was no happily ever after in this story. Furthermore, in 2007, Abhishek Bachchan wed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor were married in 2003, and she later requested a divorce from him in 2014.
Randhir Kapoor stated for the uninitiated that he never wanted her daughter Karisma Kapoor to wed Sunjay and even referred to him as a “third-class man” at one point. He continued by saying that he did nothing for her and simply engaged in drinking and fighting.
