New Delhi: Filmmaker Suneel Darshan has collaborated with a lot of actors in Bollywood and has interesting stories to tell about them. After the revelation he made about Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, Darshan later spilled the beans about Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan as well.
There was a brief moment in the early 2000s when it was said that Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were going to get married but, they ultimately split up. Their romance took off on the sets of the film- 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya'. But, the movie's producer and director, Suneel Darshan, recently discussed the actors' relationship and the reasons he has always felt they were not meant to be together.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he revealed, “They were not really the made-for-each-other kinds." He further continued, "There was constant bickering… Maybe that’s how some people are ‘made’. I always wondered are they really the made-for-each-other kind of pair? Abhishek is a sweet fellow, and Lolo is a very nice person, but maybe some things aren’t destined."
Darshan was also asked about the rumours of the relationship to which he replied that it was confirmed that the two were getting married and that they were engaged.
“There were no rumours. It was confirmed. They were a couple and getting married. We 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,” he told Bollywood Hungama.
The film 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya' was released in 2002 and was directed by Dharmesh Darshan. Apart from Abhishek and Karisma, the film also starred Akshay Kumar. The film was not a box office success upon its release and Abhishek and Karisma too parted ways soon after the release of the film.
