Karisma Kapoor and Sunny Deol have landed in trouble after 22 long years of allegedly breaking the law. Railway court has charged the Bollywood actors for hampering the usual run of a train. Actor turned politician Sunny Deol and Karisma were shooting for a scene in the year 1997 for their film Bajrang. The duo was at Sanvarda village near Phulera, Ajmer where the alleged incident took place.
