Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor’s wedding called off over prenuptial agreement, ‘Babita is against the marriage’ says The News | Hindi Film News
Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor’s broken engagement remains one of the most talked-about relationships in Bollywood. While neither the Bachchan nor the Kapoor families have officially confirmed the exact reason behind the breakup, veteran journalist Jyothi Venkatesh has now shared what he says was one of the major factors behind the cancellation of the wedding.In an interview with Hindi Rush, Venkatesh revisited the much-discussed engagement and the speculation surrounding its abrupt end.
“One of the main reasons is prenuptial agreements”
Recalling the events, Jyothi Venkatesh said that although Abhishek and Karisma were engaged, their wedding kept getting postponed and eventually got cancelled.“Karishma ke aur Abhishek ki bhi ho gayi thi. Engagement ke baad shaadi ka din postponed hote gaya. In the end they never got married.”When asked why he was not married, he replied: “The reason for Kai is log dete hain. One of the main reasons is…Babita was against the marriage.”He further claimed, “Humne bhi suna hua tha. Prenup signing karne ke liye majboor kiya tha mujhe.”Explaining the concept, he added, “Foreigners sign a mein woh agreement before the wedding… jiski wajah se, and the entire property will belong to the bride. By isiliye, the marriage is annulled.”Venkatesh also noted that the Bachchan and Kapoor families had a cordial relationship before their engagement.“The Bachchan family is close to the Kapoor family. Usi wajah se woh rishton ko aur strong banana chahte towards marriage.”
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 only lasted a few months before being called off in January 2003.Over the years, multiple media reports have speculated on the reasons behind the breakup. One widely reported theory suggests that Karisma’s mother Babita allegedly wanted a prenuptial agreement and financial security for her daughter, reportedly out of concerns about the Bachchan family’s business situation at the time. However, neither the Bachchans nor the Kapoors have officially confirmed the claims or revealed the exact reason for the breakup.Both eventually moved on with their lives. Abhishek Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya. Karisma Kapoor married industrialist Sunjay Kapur in September 2003. They had two children – Samaira and Kiaan – but their marriage ended in divorce in 2016. Karisma Kapoor has previously described that period of her life as deeply traumatic.
