The couple filed for a divorce in 2014, and the two got legally divorced in May 2016. If reports are to be believed, she won’t be getting anything for herself. A lawyer involved in the case was quoted as saying, "Karisma will get Sunjay's father's house (in Khar) transferred in her name. Sunjay has to purchase bonds worth Rs. 14 crore for the children, which will attract a monthly interest of around Rs. 10 lakh."
