Karishma Kapoor finds a 'Special' friend

Jigar Shah (MID-DAY; August 29, 2013)

It was many seasons ago when rumours started doing the rounds about deep fissures developing in Karisma Kapoor's marriage with Delhi-based entrepreneur Sunjay Kapoor. Though the actress and her husband have categorically denied the buzz, insiders say Karisma could be trying to move on. She is said to have made new friends in Mumbai and one of them is a CEO of a health firm.

The guy, a graduate from the Duke University, US, is around the same age as Karisma and the two were introduced to each other through their common social circle.

An insider reveals, "Karisma and her newfound friend have just begun knowing each other. She wants to look beyond all the talks about her failing marriage. This close friendship will do her good. They hang out together along with Malaika Arora Khan and Kareena's bestie Amrita." Karisma tied the knot with Sunjay in 2003 and cracks in their relationship is said to have emerged within a year.

While Lolo has moved to Mumbai with her children, her husband continues to be based out of the national capital.

Karisma remained unavailable for comment.
