Hyderabad: Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor has been one of the most loved actresses in India for a very long time. She started her acting career with Prem Qaidi in 1991 and since then has received massive popularity and stardom.
In the 90s the star was on a roll with several films like Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Biwi No 1, Dil toh Pagal Hai, Hero No 1, and Judwaa that were a hit at the box office. However, Karisma took a sudden break from cinema in 2002.

According to multiple reports, Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor had started dating in 1997 after they met at Shweta Bachchan Nanda’s wedding and kept it under wraps for five years.
However, in the same year of the announcement, the couple abruptly called off their relationship and various speculations were made about their break-up. Some rumors said that Karisma’s mother Babita wanted a stable future for her daughter while some rumors said that Jaya Bachchan wanted Karisma to quit Bollywood after marriage.
Later, Karisma Kapoor went on to marry industrialist Sanjay Kapur, CEO of Sixt India and the two became parents to Samaira and Kiaan. But, Karisma and Sanjay parted ways in 2016 and the diva got custody of her children.
