When Randhir Kapoor publicly slammed Karisma Kapoor’s ex-husband, calling Sunjay Kapur a…

Karisma Kapoor’s marriage to Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur began in 2003 but soon spiralled into one of Bollywood’s most talked-about scandals. What followed was not just a separation, but a bitter divorce packed with explosive allegations.

Karisma accused Sunjay of infidelity. Sunjay, in turn, claimed the Zubeidaa star had married him for money. Their mudslinging was so intense it made daily headlines.

Randhir Kapoor lashes out

Never one to hold back, Karisma’s father, Randhir Kapoor, publicly tore into his former son-in-law. In a fiery interview with Hindustan Times, he said, “Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma to marry him. He has debauchery in his system and never cared for his wife. He has been giving bull*** to her, and living with another woman. The entire Delhi knows how he is.”

His remarks came right after Sunjay accused Karisma of being a “failed” wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and even alleged she had an extramarital affair.

The marriage and the split

After tying the knot in 2003, Karisma moved to Delhi and had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. But by 2011, she had returned to Mumbai with them. The couple initially agreed on a mutual divorce, but Karisma withdrew when Sunjay allegedly failed to meet financial commitments under their settlement.

Her lawyer, Kranti Sathe, dismissed Sunjay’s accusations as “false” and demanded he prove them in court.

A twist after death

Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, died in London on June 12, 2025. Barely two months later, his name resurfaced in headlines, this time over a staggering Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute.

Reports suggest Karisma may be considering a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. Adding intrigue, Sunjay’s stepdaughter — Priya Sachdev’s daughter, Safira — recently changed her surname from “Chatwal” to “Kapur”. Insiders speculate this could be more than a personal choice, possibly a strategic play in the high-stakes property battle.
