Sunjay Kapur to apply for custody of his & Karisma’s children?

Yesterday, BizAsia reported that Karisma Kapoor had withdrawn her consent from her outstanding divorce case with husband Sanjay Kapur on financial grounds. Now, there has been a further development and it seems Kapur is now going to be fighting for guardianship of the couple’s two children, Samaira and Kiaan.

Pinkvilla report Kapur’s lawyer,��Aman Hingorani, stated, “Karisma is not complying, she is not letting Sunjay meet their children. We are requesting the court to dispose off the matter so that we can pursue our guardianship petition for the custody of the children. She is going back on what she had earlier agreed upon. She is violating across the table the consent terms so we have no option but to pursue our own remedies. Sunjay has complied throughout, Karisma is the one who is backing out. Sunjay is currently taking full financial responsibility of her and the children. They are well looked after by him. He is taking care of the maintenance of the flat as well as all their expenses”.

On the other hand, Kapoor’s lawyer,��Kranti Sathe, responded, “Let them go ahead with whatever they want to, it is Karisma�۪s call to defend herself. They kept postponing and kept us engaged in talks. They wasted lot of time. Now they will come up with whatever they want to. Documents speak the truth”.

Apparently, Kapur has said that Kapoor is not allowing him access to their children. Sathe says, “It’s not true, it’s a blatant lie. Karisma always gave him access to both their children. It�۪s just an excuse, they have failed to meet the commitments. Sunjay refused to comply to the terms and conditions.��Sunjay was supposed to set up a trust for the welfare of their two children ��� Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor, plus he was supposed to give away the Bandra flat to Karisma in her name”.

The couple have been separated since 2009, after being married for six years.
