Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor and businessman Sunjay Kapur had a highly publicized marriage that ended in 2016 after years of legal battles. Their divorce settlement included a substantial alimony package, ensuring financial security for Karisma and their children. Reports indicate that Sunjay Kapur paid ₹70 crore in alimony, along with additional financial provisions for their children, Samaira and Kiaan.
Breakdown of the Alimony Settlement
As part of the settlement, Sunjay Kapur provided bonds worth ₹14 crore for their children, which generate a monthly interest of ₹10 lakh. Additionally, Karisma Kapoor was granted ownership of a lavish Mumbai home, previously owned by Sunjay’s father, Surinder Kapur. The settlement also included the return of all jewelry that Karisma had brought into the marriage, ensuring that she retained her personal assets.
Legal Battle and Divorce Proceedings
The divorce was finalized after two years of legal disputes, during which Karisma accused Sunjay and his family of domestic abuse and dowry harassment. The couple initially filed for mutual consent divorce, but disagreements over assets and child custody prolonged the proceedings. Eventually, the settlement was reached, granting Karisma full custody of their children, while Sunjay retained visitation rights.
Life After Divorce
Following the divorce, Sunjay Kapur married Priya Sachdev, a model and entrepreneur, in 2017. Karisma Kapoor, on the other hand, focused on her career and family, maintaining a cordial relationship with Sunjay for the sake of their children. Despite the challenges, the settlement ensured financial stability for Karisma and her children, allowing them to move forward with their lives.
