When Karisma Kapoor alleged abuse in divorce plea: 'Sunjay Kapur forced me to sleep with his friends'

These allegations painted a grim picture of her marriage, which contrasted sharply with the public perception of her life.

Veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, Karisma’s father, expressed his disapproval of the marriage from the beginning. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he remarked, “Everyone knows our ­credentials. We are Kapoors. We don’t need to run after anyone’s money. We have been blessed with not only money, but our talent can support us for the rest of our lives. Sunjay is a third-class man.”

Though Karisma and Sunjay initially filed for divorce by mutual consent, the situation escalated when Karisma claimed that Sunjay was unwilling to provide adequate financial support.

This led to further complications, including a case of domestic violence filed by Karisma against Sunjay and his mother. The police, upon receiving these complaints, initiated an inquiry, promising to question both Sunjay and his mother regarding the allegations.

After much drama and public scrutiny, Karisma and Sunjay reached an amicable resolution, and their divorce was finalized in 2016. As part of the settlement, Karisma received substantial alimony.

Reports indicated that she would be given Sunjay’s father’s house in Khar and that he would purchase bonds worth ₹14 crore for their children, which would yield approximately ₹10 lakh monthly in interest.
