Not everything about Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor’s personal life was a bed full of roses. The actress was shining bright on the professional front, but on the personal front, she was struggling to get hold of her life.
The Biwi No.1 star once revealed that her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur auctioned her on their honeymoon night, also told that her life after marriage changed completely
After her breakup with Abhishek Bachchan, with whom she was engaged to get married, Karisma tied the knot with businessman Sunjay Kapur in an arranged marriage set up. However, within few years since they got married, trouble started brewing between the two.
Karisma shared a disturbing story of their honeymoon. She said during their honeymoon, he (Sunjay) forced her to sleep with his friends. And when she said ‘NO’, he beat her up and even quoted her price to one of his friends.
She also alleged that Sanjay was not complying with financial commitments. To that, Sunjay also claimed that Karisma married him only for money.
Karisma and Sunjay got married in 2003 in a grand way and after 11 years of their marriage, the actress filed for divorce in 2014, and they parted way. Their divorce battle was ugly with both Karisma and Sunjay levelling nasty allegations against each other. Karisma also filed a dowry harassment case against Sunjay and his mother Rani.
Not just that, during one of the court hearings for the case, Karisma made a shocking allegation against Sunjay. The actress claimed that once her mother-in-law gifted her a dress but because she was pregnant, she couldn’t fit into the dress. Seeing the same, Sunjay asked his mother to slap her. Karisma stated that Sunjay looked at his mom and told her, “Why don’t you just slap her?”
Karisma also blamed Sunjay for his philandering lifestyle and living with another woman and said that his mother supported all his doings. The actress claimed that Sunjay was still in a physical relationship with his first wife, when they got married.
Karisma and Sunjay were legally battling to get the custody of both the kids and for the same, they washed their dirty linens in public.
The ex flames were granted divorce in 2016, with the former getting custody of their children.
Sunjay was granted occasional visits to his children, Samaira Kapoor and Kiaan Raj Kapoor.
During the divorce battle of Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur, the former had accused him for marrying her for her wealth while the latter had claimed the marriage to be a rebound for her broken engagement with Abhishek Bachchan. In a throwback interview with the Hindustan Times, Karisma’s father, Randhir Kapoor had revealed that he had never wanted his daughter to marry Sunjay Kapur.
He was quoted as saying, “Everyone knows our credentials. We are Kapoors. We don’t need to run after anyone’s money. We have been blessed with not only money, but our talent can support us for the rest of our lives. Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma marrying 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. I would not like to say anything more than this.”
In the divorce petition, Sunjay Kapur had also claimed that Karisma Kapoor isn’t a good mother. On this, Randhir Kapoor had commented, “Everyone knows Karisma has always been a good mother. Her husband has been living with another woman. I was against this marriage since day one. The matter is sub judice and hence, I can’t comment further. Eventually, the entire truth will come out.” After a long legal battle, Karisma and Sunjay were granted divorce in 2016.
At present, both Sunjay and Karisma have moved on in their lives. While Sunjay is married to Priya Sachdev and the two have a son together. Karisma, on the other hand, was rumoured to be dating Sandeep Toshniwal, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

So I was asked to step back from the project because she made them do so.”
“Trust me, I have worked with much bigger names at IIFA and Miss Universe, but I have not come across anyone who is so toxic and unprofessional as her. She should focus more on her acting rather than playing games with people. We are all artists and as important as anyone else on the set. If she doesn’t know how to respect the fellow artists, then industry should not work with such shallow people who only bring defame to a project,” he continued.
