When Randhir Kapoor publicly slammed Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, calling Sunjay Kapur a...
Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur began in 2003 but soon spiralled into one of Bollywood's most talked-about scandals. What followed was not just a separation, but a bitter divorce packed with explosive allegations. Karisma accused Sunjay of infidelity. Sunjay, in turn, claimed the Zubeidaa star had married him for money. Their mudslinging was so intense it made daily headlines. Randhir Kapoor lashes out Never one to hold back, Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, publicly tore into his former son-in-law. In a fiery interview with Hindustan Times, he said, 'Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma to marry 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.' His remarks came right after Sunjay accused Karisma of being a 'failed' wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and even alleged she had an extramarital affair. The marriage and the split After tying the knot in 2003, Karisma moved to Delhi and had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. But by 2011, she had returned to Mumbai with them. The couple initially agreed on a mutual divorce, but Karisma withdrew when Sunjay allegedly failed to meet financial commitments under their settlement. Her lawyer, Kranti Sathe, dismissed Sunjay's accusations as 'false' and demanded he prove them in court. A twist after death Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, died in London on June 12, 2025. Barely two months later, his name resurfaced in headlines, this time over a staggering Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. Reports suggest Karisma may be considering a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. Adding intrigue, Sunjay's stepdaughter — Priya Sachdev's daughter, Safira — recently changed her surname from 'Chatwal' to 'Kapur'. Insiders speculate this could be more than a personal choice, possibly a strategic play in the high-stakes property battle.

Con banega rich? Doc duped of 10L over entry in show
Bhopal: A doctor residing in the Chunabhatti area was allegedly duped of Rs10 lakh by a Mumbai-based man and his associates, who promised him an entry into a popular Bollywood actor-hosted reality TV game show. Acting on the complaint, Chunabhatti police reare preparing to send a team to Mumbai for their arrest. Investigation officer SI Uday Sisode said that Dr Abhineet Gupta, the complainant who runs his own clinic in Chunabhatti, came in contact with the accused, Karan Singh, through a mutual friend in 2022. Karan, who operates an event organising and management business in Mumbai, claimed to have strong connections in the television industry. He assured Dr Gupta that he could get him an entry into a high-profile reality TV game show, hosted by a Bollywood actor. Karan allegedly told Dr Gupta that the process would involve expenses of around Rs 50 lakh. Eager to participate in the show, Dr Gupta agreed. Karan even took him to an office where officials explained the formal application process for the show. However, Karan demanded Rs 10 lakh in advance to "facilitate" the selection process. Dr Gupta paid the amount, but his name did not appear in the list of selected participants that season. Upon inquiry, Karan assured him that his selection was confirmed for the next season. However, when the next season also passed without any progress, Dr Gupta tried to contact the show organisers directly and discovered that there is no such practice of accepting money for entry into the show. When Dr Gupta demanded his money back, Karan initially gave excuses and later outright refused to return the amount. Realising he was duped, Dr Gupta lodged a complaint with Chunabhatti police. After preliminary investigation, the police registered a case of cheating, cops said.

Farah Khan's Cook Calls Her ‘Khadoos', Says ‘She Eats A Lot'; Boman Irani In Splits
Last Updated: Farah Khan's cook hilariously exposes her off-camera personality in a vlog with Boman Irani, calling her 'khadoos' and revealing her love for food. Farah Khan never fails to entertain, and this time, it's not her choreography or direction but her hilarious off-screen camaraderie with her cook Dilip that has fans in splits. In her latest YouTube vlog, Farah is seen visiting longtime friend and actor Boman Irani's home along with Dilip, who ends up stealing the spotlight with his cheeky revelations about the filmmaker. The vlog, which centers around a fun-filled cooking session of traditional Parsi food, begins with Farah jokingly warning Dilip not to tell her husband if she flirts with Boman, whom she adorably refers to as her 'favourite." As the group settles in, Farah joins Boman's wife Zenobia in preparing chutney for marinating fish, while Boman takes Dilip aside for some 'off-the-record" chit-chat. What follows next is pure comedy gold. In a mock-serious tone, Boman asks for the cameras to be turned off and quizzes Dilip, 'Farah camera ke saamne itni acchi baatein karti hai, jab camera band hota hai toh kaisi hai?" Without missing a beat, Dilip quips, 'Bahut khadoos hai," leaving everyone in splits. Boman, amused, then asks if Farah genuinely speaks well of him behind the scenes. Dilip shakes his head and delivers another zinger, 'Aapki bhut burai karti hai." The fun doesn't stop there. When asked if Farah is on a diet, Dilip reveals, 'Diet pe nahi hai, Farah ma'am. Khoob saara khaati hai. Diet pe dal chawal, soup chawal, par jab diet pe nahi hoti toh khoob saara khaati hai." Fans couldn't get enough of Dilip's candidness and Farah's unabashed laughter throughout the video. The comments section was flooded with heart emojis and laughing reactions, applauding the honest yet affectionate dynamic between Farah and her cook. Farah and Boman's friendship dates back to their collaboration on Main Hoon Na. They later starred together in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi and Happy New Year.
