'Babita is not God, she may have made some mistakes,' says Suneel Darshan when asked about why Karisma Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan broke up

Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan's engagement was a huge announcement and this union was much awaited. Thus, it came as a huge shock to people when their engagement was called off. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Karisma and Abhishek shared screen space in 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya Hai', which was produced by Suneel Darshan and directed by Dharmesh Darshan. Producer Suneel Darshan shared a close professional association with Karisma as she starred in many of his other movies like 'Jaanwar', 'Ek Rishta'. In an interview, the producer was asked what went wrong between Abhishek and Karisma.

Responding to it, he said during an interview with Vickey Lalwani, “Destiny has brought a lot of turbulence in the lives of the Kapoor girls. That’s how I would word it. A lot of turbulence and a lot of tumult. They are fortunate to have a mother like Babita who tried to protect them, but maybe in the process of protecting them, she might have erred. She is human after all and not God. Everybody makes mistakes. Galtiyaan sabse ho jaati hai aur unse bhi hui hongi. But these girls were bought up with a lot of care and love.” He further said, "I don't want to delve deeper than that because I'm not a part of their immediate family."


When asked if Abhishek and Karisma had chemistry during the shoot of their film, Suneel said, “They did have a chemistry between them but it was more like the kind of chemistry they had in my film Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya.” He explained, “Essentially, it is about trust and belief. Sometimes it is very well maintained, sometimes it’s uncontrollable. It was good until issues from the outside world began to enter their lives. They created the problems and disturbed their relationship.”

Karisma later on went on to marry Sunjay Kapur in 2003. They got divorced officially in 2016. Kapur recently passed away due to a heart stroke after he reportedly followed a bee. Karisma and Sunjay had two children together - Samaira and Kiaan.
