The Bombay High Court has directed actress Karisma Kapoor to respond to a petition concerning divorce documents from her marriage to Sanjay Kapur. Issued during Thursday’s proceedings, the notice demands her appearance or written reply, signaling potential delays in closing this high-society split.
Details emerging from the courtroom reveal the petition focuses on alleged irregularities in paperwork related to asset disclosure and settlement terms. Sanjay, founder of Sixt India, seeks judicial intervention to enforce transparency. Karisma, celebrated for ‘Fiza’ and ‘Zubeidaa,’ faces this amid a career revival.
The duo’s 2003 wedding was a star-studded event, but by 2016, irreconcilable differences led to separation. Mutual consent divorce hit snags over monetary disputes, dragging the matter for years. Custody of their son Kiaan (13) and daughter Samaira (10) adds emotional stakes.
Family law attorneys predict the notice could prompt settlement talks, avoiding prolonged litigation. For Karisma, balancing stardom and single motherhood, this is yet another hurdle. The entertainment industry watches as this saga tests the limits of privacy in public lives.
