Karisma Kapoor and ex-husband Sunjay Kapur are right now in the centre of a court battle for the custody of their two children, Samaira and Kiaan. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the Delhi-based industrialist has claimed in a fresh divorce petition filed in the Bandra family court, that Karisma married him just for his money. The petition also suggests that Karisma married Sunjay on the rebound in 2003 after her break-up with Abhishek Bachchan, and portrays her as the culprit in the troubled 11-year-long marriage with Sunjay.
Sunjay has claimed that Karisma used their kids as “pawns” and didn’t let the Kapur family meet them frequently in her bid to claim more money. The petition by Sunjay goes on to say that Karisma even “cruelly deprived” Sunjay’s ailing father access to his grandchilren, and he passed away six months ago “while pining for them”.
According to the same report, Karisma’s lawyer, Kranti Sathe, termed Sunjay’s accusations atrocious and false and will be telling the court that he is causing great harm to the children’s welfare by spreading false stories.
