Sunjay Kapur's divorce petition alleges Karisma Kapoor married him for money

The petition alleges that Karisma Kapoor married the Delhi-based businessman "in a calculated and clinical manner to pursue a lavish lifestyle", according to a Mumbai Mirror report.

Alleging that Karisma married him as a rebound after her break up with Abhishek Bachchan, the petition goes on accuse her of "failing as a wife, daughter-in-law and as a mother". The petition alleges that as their 11-year-old marriage fell apart, she tried to portray him as a substance abuser, an alcoholic and a cheating husband, even as she had an affair, the report said.

The couple has also been locked in a bitter battle over the custody of their children. Sunjay's divorce petition claims that Karisma deprived his ailing father from meeting their kids Samaira and Kiaan.

However, Karisma's lawyers have refuted all the allegations as false and baseless. "We will tell the court that he is causing great harm to the children's welfare by spreading false stories. We don't want trial by media," Kranti Sathe told Mumbai Mirror.
