Abhishek Bachchan’s infamous engagement with Karisma Kapoor had created a lot of buzz back in the day. While everyone was highly anticipative of them tying the knot soon, everything turned upside down when due to unexplained reasons, the duo called off their engagement. Thereafter, while Abhishek went on to get married to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karisma tied the knot with businessman, Sunjay Kapur.
While much time has passed since Abhishek and Karisma’s incomplete love story, the duo has never crossed paths since. However, there was once a moment when we got to see an unusual get together of Abhishek’s wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan enjoying a gala time with the former’s ex-fiance, Karisma Kapoor. It so happened that Isha Ambani’s grand sangeet ceremony was unanimously attended by nearly all the A-listers of B-Town. As their ceremony became the centre of attraction of all media channels full with videos from the same, it was in one of them where we spotted Aishwarya dancing her heart out with Karisma. While it was an indication that the actresses had buried their past, it turned all the more interesting since Abhishek Bachchan was also present in the close vicinity.

This has not been the first time when Karisma and Aishwarya had bumped into each other cordially. Defeating the popular gossip about the duo not exactly seeing each other in the eye, Karisma and Aishwarya were once spotted attending Manish Malhotra’s Diwali party together. However, what grabbed eyeballs was when she posted a picture from her splendid evening on her social media, where she could be seen posing along with Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai in the same frame.
While the two leading ladies do not stand to cross each other’s path often, nevertheless, the duo interestingly share a familial bond with one another. And the joint bone of connection between Aishwarya and Karisma is none other than the former’s sister-in-law, Shweta Bachchan Nanda. For the unversed, Shweta’s mother-in-law, late Ritu Nanda was Karisma’s aunt. Therefore, Karisma shares a great bond with Shweta and she often comes to cheer for her new endeavours and attend her parties.

In another of an interesting twist of tale, there was once a time when Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan came together to join the same event as Karisma Kapoor. Well, for those who don’t know, Abhishek-Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya and Karisma Kapoor’s children, Kiaan and Samaira study in at the same Dhirubhai Ambani International School. And so, in 2018, the respective parents joined to support their children on their Annual Day. In one of the pictures circulated from the event, one can spot Aishwarya, Abhishek and Karisma sitting together.
While in many instances, both Karisma and Aishwarya seem to have buried their awkward past, there have been on some more occasions where the duo openly ignored one another. Being celebrities, there are often many instances where the actresses have to come together under the same roof. Proof of the same was found during the recent launch of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. In a video circulated from the launch day, we can spot Aishwarya along with her daughter, Aaradhya blatantly changing her path as she spots Karisma Kapoor in the vicinity.
