What Karisma Kapoor said about her broken engagement with Abhishek Bachchan
As per Subash K Jha, Karisma Kapoor broke her silence after her split with Abhishek Bachchan. She said in 2003, “It is time I spoke. I owe it to everyone. 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.”
Karisma Kapoor recently went through another turmoil as her ex-husband, Sanjay Kapur, passed away. For the unversed, she shared two children with the late billionaire businessman, Samaira and Kiaan.
