Karisma Kapoor Files Dowry Harassment Case Against Sanjay Kapur

February 27, 2016

Mumbai, Feb 27: Even as their ugly divorce case pans out in open court, actor Karisma Kapoor has now filed a dowry harassment case against Sunjay Kapur and his mother, Rani, who holds the family finances.

The battle between Karisma Kapoor and her estranged husband, Sunjay Kapur took an uglier turn this week, as the actress registered a case of dowry harassment against him and her mother-in-law Rani Surinder Kapur.

While the couple are currently fighting a messy case for divorce and custody of their two kids, Karisma approached the Khar police earlier this week with a complaint of mental harassment by her husband and mother-in-law.

Following the application, the cops called Karisma a couple of days ago to record her statement and registered an FIR in the matter.

Karisma alleged that she had been mentally harassed by the Kapurs over a period of time.

Based on her statement, the Khar police registered an FIR (no 98/16) under the dowry section - 498 (A): husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty - and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

The estranged couple's divorce case is currently pending before the Bandra family court. They had initially filed for divorce on the grounds of mutual consent, but Karisma withdrew her consent stating Sunjay had failed to meet certain financial commitments established in the consent terms.

They then filed fresh divorce applications, and the case steadily became acrimonious. Sunjay made strong allegations that Karisma had failed as a wife, mother and daughter-in-law, and that she had married him for money. He also claimed that the actress was using access to the children to demand money, and added that she had denied his ailing father access to them as well.

Karisma's lawyers sought time to respond to this and are likely to file the reply during the next hearing on March 3. In the last hearing, Karisma opposed her husband's application for the interim custody of their kids. Arguments for custody will also be heard on Thursday, and Sunjay's lawyer might file another reply in the same matter. On another note, Sunjay has also filed an application at the Supreme Court to transfer the case to Delhi, on the grounds that there is a threat to his life from underworld don Ravi Pujari.

Mumbai, Mar 7: A 'farm-to-fork' themed restaurant 'He-Man' situated on National Highway in Haryana's Karnal -- franchised by veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra -- has been sealed for building law violations, officials said on Saturday.

The Karnal Municipal Corporation sealed the franchise outlet on Friday for not furnishing the change of land use (CLU) certificate and illegal constructions, an official said.

The restaurant is located on National Highway 44 on the outskirts of Karnal, some 150 km from here.

The franchise was given to Delhi-based businessman Pramod Kumar.

"After the success of my restaurant Garam Dharam Dhaba, I am now announcing a farm-to- fork themed restaurant 'He-Man'," Dharmendra had announced on Instagram after its launch on Valentine's Day.

Karnal Deputy Commissioner Nishant Yadav said the action was initiated as the restaurant owner did not respond to MC notice on the issue.

Kolkata, Jun 2: Artistes of the Bengali film industry are trying to get the best out of their creative side amid the lockdown, with many of them giving shape to innovative concepts and ideas to hook the audience.

A short film 'Grub Ne Bana Di Jodi', with RJ-actor Mir Afsar Ali in the lead, transcends boundaries to bring couples from around the world together on one platform, as they engage in discussions on food and culture.

The shot-at-home film, directed by Satrajit Sen, has Ali giving couples tasks to test their culinary skills.

"This is the time to try new concepts and that, too, without the usual technical support. There is no box office pressure, and people can take their own sweet time to watch the film on YouTube," he said.

Actor Vikram Chatterjee, who recently completed the shoot of 'Pabitra Puppies', a web series about seven friends bonding over video games, said it was an "altogether different experience" with no crew to assist him at home.

"The shooting process was complicated but we had a lot of fun. I was in Mumbai when the lockdown was imposed.

Coordinating with the director and other cast members wasn't easy, but this phase has taught us how to overcome challenges," Chatterjee said.

The series, also starring Sohini Sarkar and Saayoni Ghosh, will be streaming on Hoichoi soon.

Director Shieladitya Moulik's third outing on YouTube, amid the lockdown, has garnered good reviews.

The short film 'Eye Candy' tells the story of a blind couple who had been finding ways to connect with each other.

"I wanted to talk about long-distance relationships, and the problems faced by couples in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, but not without a twist. I hope the viewers enjoy the short," Moulik said.
