B. Sr of ALL PEOPLE, talking about sanskaars etc is HOWLARIOUS seeing all the dirty, heinous BS HE has been upto all through these decades!!! But it's a sad & practical reality, that most of these so-called sanskaari & elite families think & act this way. They very rarely marry actresses since all of them do BS like this because the system ensures they have to otherwise they don't have a career.

It's very sad for poor Karisma who gives genuinely nice vibes & unless Jr is some excellent actor, when I saw him on RWSG which was done much after their engagement broke, I saw a man very much in love & quite broken. I've a feeling Jr-Karisma would've been truly happy together & a beloved BW couple. I loved them! :(

I always think about this because I have been a big fan of Karishma and want her to be happy...but Abhi's career went down the drain after marriage and Jaya became a pain to live with. I think Karishma would have gone through hell in that house..just like she did with her husband but perhaps lesser...Its not easy living in a house where the wife is wanted professionally while the husband isn't...Aish is strong and was able to survive that phase, good on her...

^^Esp in a family like the Bachchans, who for all their posturing, believe that the son is superior than the daughter. True, Karisma wouldn't have been happy b/c Ash doesn't look happy with Jr in her pics, often, now. But he's a nice chap so atleast wouldn't have been as bad as Sanjay Kapur. Different thing is that the B's have far less money than Kapur so there wouldn't have been as much to milk if she wanted a divorce.. If she would've been granted one that is. LOL.

It wasn't exactly a 'pre-nup'. Babita wanted AB sr to transfer some properties in AB jr's name. People also need to remember this was before Jr's debut. Bachchan was bankrupt at the time as well because of ABCL so I completely understand Babita's concerns especially with the experience she had had with the other Big family of Bollywood. I sort of get it. I also get AB jr breaking it off after what he would consider, extremely insulting. I get both sides.

That's why I said- IF she is allowed to.

It's in people's nature to speculate, so I'm not surprised when people gossip. What baffles me is the surity with which they speculate (most times it's negative).

OT, we're no one to decide who's fit or unfit for marriage.

I don't buy this bullshit term "unfit" for marriage. Everyone has baggage. Everyone's life has ups and downs, good and bad choices. This whole notion that a woman needs to be virginal and homely for marriage is utter baloney. Even people who are in frowned upon professions like strippers, po*n stars, and prostitutes can and should get married if and when they choose to.

"Not ready for marriage" is a real thing though. But no one can decide that but the person in question. In fact more people need to own up to the fact that they are not ready and not be ashamed of it. Too many people get forced into marriages due to societal expectation even when they're not ready.

With Karishma and Abhishek I think the whole thing was due to family incompatibility. What the families expected of each other didn't gel well and the engagement was called off. It was also during the times when ABCL was a monumental failure, so money could have been an issue as well. I'll give everyone involved credit though - there was no mudslinging contest that can easily happen when high profile relationships end. Sure there may have been a snide comment or allusion here or there, but on the whole it was handled maturely.

Too bad Karishma never found marital bliss. It goes to show that all the good looks, money, and fame in the world can't buy love or happiness. I feel bad for her because she seems like a genuinely warm person who deserves happiness. But she still has several years ahead of her.

Somehow I always feel sorry for Abhishek. I feel he is a nice guy, but the real him is lost somewhere. He's always been in his father's shadow. He's always had to shoulder the burden of expectations. Even though there are moments where him and Ash seem perfectly blissful, most of the time he seems aloof and disconnected to me. Like a lost soul still searching for himself..

Everyone doesn't need to be married to be fulfilled. Karishma is probably happy with her independence and freedom. She can hang out with her friends, go on vacations and raise her kids exactly how she wants. She has no overbearing in-laws meddling in her life or telling her what to do or harassing her the way a lot of Indian women do.

Aishwarya is more traditional and able to deal with all that. Everything worked out okay for all sides.

Whatever Babita thought came true anyway. Abhishek is still under his father's shadow, never really made anything of himself and still lives with his parents and will never be his own man. He will always have to rely on his family the same way Randhir Kapoor had to.

I honestly think Karisma's happier than Aishwarya is. The Bachchans don't seem happy around Ash and she doesn't seem happy around them either. And Abhishek is not independent enough to stand up for himself and his wife. Having a husband is not the end of the world - it looks like she has independence, which Ash doesn't.

And for some reason I feel that the Bachchans are trying to support Shweta so much that they're completely discount Ash.

I am one of the few who feels that Abhishek and Aishwarya have a healthy marriage. It seems like it was a relationship that stemmed from friendship and then transformed into a romantic one. The foundation and understanding came first. It seems like it might have been the other way around for Karishma and Abhishek. Where they purely acting on romantic instinct and didn't have much of solid foundation.

As for Abhishek looking lost. I don't think a happy marriage alone can totally fulfill someone. Aish can accept Abhishek for what he is. Someone who had a burden of expectations on his shoulders but to some degree failed to live up to. She can boost him up by telling him she loves him as is. But in order to truly be happy one needs fulfillment in all aspect of life.

Yes in India, people's families have to be compatible in order for marriages to work too. Especially high profile families. But I feel if Karishma truly had a backbone and loved Abhi she could have put her foot down. Look at Kareena she married outside her religion and someone 11 years older than her. She seems a lot happier then Karishma.

This pic is relatively recent. There might be many things bothering these two but it is def not the marriage of family life.
