Sunjay Kapur leaves ₹14 crore bonds for kids
Karisma and Sunjay filed for divorce with mutual consent in 2014, but withdrew it after things turned bitter. It was finalised only in 2016. As per the news agency, Sunjay bought bonds worth ₹14 crore for both their children with an interest payment of ₹10 lakh per month. Karisma was given custody of the children, and Sunjay got visitation rights. The industrialist also transferred a Mumbai home owned by his father to Karisma in the divorce. An FIR filed by Karisma against Sunjay and her in-laws was quashed by the Supreme Court.
