The couple, who had welcomed two children, Samaira and Kiaan, tried to mend things between them. It was Kareena who once talked about the same.

Kareena Kapoor once talked about Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur’s broken bond
Talking to Rediff, Kareena Kapoor said that so much had been written about this, but they always knew that things could be sorted out, which proved to be right back then. She further questioned whether there are any marriages that do not face any issues. The actress further mentioned that as everything about celebrities becomes a topic for public discussion, it eventually becomes harder for people to untangle the mess. Kareena could be quoted as saying:
“So much has been written about it. So many of our well-wishers had predicted doomsday for the marriage. But we knew it can be sorted out, and it was. Come on, which marriage doesn’t have problems? But if the entire crisis is up for public debate, it naturally becomes harder to solve the tangle.”

In the same interview, Kareena Kapoor said that Karisma and Sunjay had some issues, but they sorted things out by going on a patch-up trip to Goa. She shared how Karisma and Sunjay’s baby girl, Samaira’s birth, played a crucial role in bringing her parents close again.
Karisma and Sunjay moved to Delhi soon after Samaira’s birth. Kareena said that Sunjay and Karisma loved each other and thus things were meant to be fixed, but it got tangled due to the constant media attention. It was stretched too far, and when the media followed the couple to Goa. Kareena could be quoted as saying:
“Of course it’s going to work. My sister and Sanjay [Kapur] love each other. Sure, they had problems. But they were aggravated due to constant media attention. The prying became unbearable when cameras followed them to Goa where they had gone for a patch-up holiday.”
Kareena Kapoor further revealed that Samaira is a great force of connection between Karisma and Sunjay. She also talked about Sunjay’s love for his daughter, Samaira and mentioned that he would change a trophy’s name to Samaira’s name. Kareena said:
“Samaira is a great cementing force between them. In fact, Sanjay is playing a polo tournament soon, and the prize has been named after Samaira. It will be the Samaira Trophy. That’s how much he loves his daughter.”
