'I cannot run her mother's house'

NEW DELHI: Days after Karisma Kapoor accused husband Sunjay Kapur of using their five-month-old daughter Samaira as a pawn, it was the turn of the Delhi-based industrialist to allege that his wife was using the media to air her affadavit even before he received it.
Sunjay stated that it had become impossible to fulfil his wife's expectations that he run her mother's house. In his rejoinder to Karisma's affidavit before Delhi High Court, he expressed shock that the actress was making financial contributions an issue in a litigation which is related to the "illegal" procurement of a passport for their daughter. The case will come up for hearing on Friday.
Sunjay, too, accused Karisma of leaving him. "I state the fact that the respondent (Karisma) in a pre-planned manner went for the delivery of our first child to her mother's place and refused to return. She is using Samaira to cause emotional trauma to me and deprive me, as well as our daughter, of love and care," Sunjay claimed.
Kapur also said it was wrong to state that he never visited Mumbai.
According to him, he visited the metropolis just to meet his wife and daughter. Through their marriage, he claimed to have taken care of Karisma's expenses, including credit card payments, telephone bills, travel expenses within India and abroad, restaurant and night club bills.
Sunjay also claims to have paid film producers whom Karisma owed money.
"In fact, I continue to pay her credit card and phone bills,"he stated. Copies of credit card statements have been annexed along with the rejoinder.
He said if Karisma continues to have a grievance with regard to lack of financial contribution on his part, he was willing to reimburse the expenses she incured on their daughter.
"However, if she expects me to run her mother's house while I am running the expenses of our matrimonial house, the same is totally unjustifiable," Sunjay said.
Karisma, according to his submission, has acted against their daughter's best interest. Since Sunjay is a US passport holder, he said the actress, by procurring an Indian passport for the daughter, had curtailed Samaira's right to choose citizenship.
He further challenged Karisma's right as a guardian. Under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, it's the father who has the power to act on behalf of a minor child.
"There is a distinction between a guardianship and custody... I deny there is any desertion on my part. Even though my wife holds some ill-founded grudges against me, she should not punish our daughter in this manner,"Sunjay said.
He claimed that Karisma had misread the provisions of the Indian Passport Act. According to him, if a couple is neither divorced nor judicially separated, the consent of both parents is mandatory before a passport can be issued.
Karisma married me for my money: Sunjay Kapur

Actor Karisma Kapoor married Sunjay Kapur for his money and "in a calculated and clinical manner", sponged off his family to pursue a lavish lifestyle, the Delhi-based industrialist has claimed in a fresh divorce petition filed in the Bandra family court. The petition suggests that Karisma married Sunjay on the rebound in 2003 after her break-up with Abhishek Bachchan, and portrays her as the culprit in the troubled 11-year-long marriage with Sunjay.
"The respondent [Karisma] has failed not only as a wife and daughter-in-law, but also as a mother," it states. The estranged couple have two children, Samaira and Kiaan, whose custody is at the centre of the court battle.
Sunjay has claimed that Karisma used the young kids as "pawns" and didn't let the Kapur family meet them frequently in her bid to claim more money. She even "cruelly deprived" Sunjay's ailing father access to Samaira and Kiaan, and he passed away six months after "pining for them". Karisma's lawyer, Kranti Sathe, on Thursday termed Sunjay's accusations atrocious and false. "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," Sathe said.
Mirror was the first to report that Sunjay had filed a fresh divorce petition, through lawyers Aman and Priya Hingorani, in December. He alleges that the Bollywood star did not comply with consent terms of their separation, and has "extracted" substantial amount of money from him.
Apart from the children's custody, a trust fund set up for them is another contentious issue. Sunjay claims he reluctantly agreed to make Karisma the sole trustee, but she refused to accept terms that would have made her accountable for proper utilisation of the funds meant for Samaira and Kiaan.
"She further insisted that her successor would be her sister, Kareena Kapoor, to the exclusion of the petitioner and his side. Such terms ruled out the possibility of handing over the trust to the respondent," the petition states.
Sunjay said when he refused to accept her conditions, she blocked him from meeting their children. The businessman, who heads Sona Koyo Steering Systems Ltd, has also claimed that Karisma chose her career over him and stayed in Mumbai "despite his pleading for her to join him in Delhi".
As their marriage fell apart, she tried to portray him as a substance abuser, an alcoholic and a cheating husband. She used her PR machinery to show him and his family in poor light even as she had an affair, the petition alleges. Edited by Angelberry - 9 years ago
