Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan were one of the most talked about couples in Bollywood in the early 2000s. The two were even engaged for a short period of time before they decided to part ways and call their wedding off. Their romance blossomed on the sets of the only film they did together Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya. Now, filmmaker Suneel Darshan, the producer of the film, has spoken about the actors’ relationship and why he always believed they were not meant to be.
In a recent interview with a Bollywood website, when Suneel was asked about the ‘rumours’ of the relationship, he replied, “There were no rumours. It was confirmed. They were a couple and getting married. We have attended the engagement. I was a part of that. The Kapoor sisters were very close because of my respect for Babita ji. Where Abhishek was concerned, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya was a special movie and it needed to be. It was the only movie where Abhishek and Karisma Kapoor were cast together. They never worked together before or after.”

The filmmaker said even during the shoot of the film, he felt that we were not ‘destined’ to be together. He recalled, “They were really not the ‘made for each other’ kind. There was constant bickering. Maybe that’s how some people are. I always wondered if they are really the ‘made for each other’ kind of pair. Abhishek is a sweet fellow. Lolo (Karisma’s nickname) is a very nice person too. But maybe some things are destined.”
Karisma married Delhi-based businessman Sanjay Kapur in 2003. However, the couple got divorced in 2016. Abhishek eventually married fellow actor Aishwarya Rai in 2007.
