The twists in the Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur divorce saga is getting muckier by the day. Last week, the Delhi-based industrialist filed a fresh petition for divorce on grounds that 'his spouse has neither been a good wife nor a good daughter-in-law in their decade-old marriage'. Reportedly, he has also accused the actress of marrying him for his wealth. On his part, Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, counter-accused Sunjay of being a “third-class person“.
Sunjay's lawyer, Priya Hingorani refused to indulge in a war of words and commented, “We had to file a fresh divorce petition after the couple could granted time till February 2.“
While the matter is sub judice, Sunjay's lawyer added, “Karisma has used the children to demand money from my client. She is deliberately not allowing them to meet Sunjay. In the last hearing that happened on January 15, she wanted to bring them to court, but Sunjay was against it as it would have scarred their young minds and affected their psyche. She has been poisoning the children's minds against their father by telling them false stories. There have been instances when Samaira has said that she doesn't want to meet her father at all.“
The next hearing is on February 2 at the Bandra Family Court where Karisma's lawyer Kranti Sathe will file a reply to this petition.
