A video clip has resurfaced showing Jaya Bachchan announcing the engagement of her son, Abhishek Bachchan, to actress Karisma Kapoor. The announcement, made at Amitabh Bachchan's 60th birthday celebration, has recently gone viral amidst rumors of a potential divorce between Abhishek and his wife, Aishwarya Rai.

In the video, Jaya Bachchan is seen welcoming Karisma into the Bachchan family. She introduces Karisma as her "future daughter-in-law," with a smile. Karisma Kapoor then walks up to the stage and embraces Jaya emotionally, later posing with the Bachchan family. The event, which also served as the launch of Amitabh Bachchan's biography, "To be or not to be: Amitabh Bachchan," was a grand affair attended by the entire Bachchan and Kapoor families.

Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor's engagement took place in 2002 but was eventually called off for reasons that remain largely unknown to the public. The resurfaced video has sparked renewed interest in their past relationship, with many social media users expressing curiosity about the reasons behind the broken engagement. Comments on the video range from nostalgic reflections on the couple to questions about why the engagement was called off. Some users have questioned the need for a public announcement and speculated on whether the breakup occurred after Abhishek's film debut.

The rekindled interest in Abhishek's past comes at a time when his present relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is under scrutiny. Reports of tension between the couple have led to increased media attention and speculation. The viral video serves as a reminder of a different chapter in Abhishek Bachchan's life, one that ultimately did not lead to marriage.

The video is sourced from Wilderness Films India Ltd., which has a large archive of broadcast stock footage from South Asia. The company often shares such clips on YouTube, offering glimpses into historical events and moments in Bollywood. The resurgence of this particular video highlights the enduring fascination with celebrity relationships and the public's interest in the personal lives of Bollywood stars.
