About Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor

At the time, she said, “It was deliberate. I withdrew into a shell. I just was not ready to go public with my grief. I chose a dignified silence because that is the kind of person I am. I have always been a woman of few words. 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.”Currently, Karisma Kapoor is the mother of two children; Samaira Kapoor and Kiaan Raj Kapoor. Her ex-husband , Sunjay Kapoor passed away in 2025 due to a heart attack. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 2007.
