Karisma Kapoor's divorce case takes an ugly turn
At the peak of her career Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor tied the knot on September 29, 2003 with industrialist Sunjay Kapur.
To many industry insiders, it looked like the actress had married on the rebound. She had just broken off her engagement with Abhishek Bachchan just months before her wedding, and she was hurting.
Now her father Randhir Kapoor claims in a statement that, he was against Karisma marrying Sunjay, “from day one."
After staying separate for years the couple filed for legal separation on May 23, 2014.
The two are embroiled in a custody battle of their two children, Samaira and Kiaan.
Their impending divorce is just getting ugly by the day and has opened up a new can of worms, emirates 247 reported.
In the latest turn of events, Sunjay's fresh petition reportedly claims that the actress married him for money.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the Delhi-based industrialist has claimed in a fresh divorce petition filed, 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, portraying her as the culprit in the troubled 11-year-long marriage with Sunjay.
Sunjay has reportedly 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 also 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 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.
Needless to say, Karisma's family believes it is a very serious accusation to make.
Times of India quotes Karisma's father, "The whole world knows what kind of people they are. The fact that my daughter is getting a divorce is because we are not happy with that family. This third-class behaviour is expected only from a third-class person like Sunjay Kapur."
He also went on to accuse Sanjay of 'living with another woman'.
