After businessman Sandeep Toshniwal was granted divorce from his wife on Monday, buzz is that he and actor Karisma Kapoor will tie the knot soon. Here’s what Karisma’s father, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, has to say about it.
“If she [Karisma] wants to get married, then she has my blessings. She is young and must be seeing him [Sandeep], I don’t know. I also see their photographs”
Karisma and Sandeep have been spotted together quite often, even at Kapoor family’s get-togethers. “If she wants to begin her life again and her children (Samiera Kapoor, 12, and Kiaan Raj Kapoor, 7; with ex-husband Sunjay Kapur) are happy with it (her decision to get married again) then I will support them. I don’t think there is anything wrong in that in today’s time,” adds Randhir, who was in the Capital on Friday to attend the inauguration of Russian Film Days, an Indo-Russian government co-operative initiative.
Sandeep married Ashrita in 2003 and filed for divorce in 2010. Reportedly, as per their final settlement, Ashrita gets the custody of their two daughters. According to reports, each daughter will receive Rs. 3 crores, and Ashrita will get Rs. 2 crore and the flat where she presently resides with her daughters.
“If she wants to begin her life again and her children (Samiera Kapoor, 12, and Kiaan Raj Kapoor, 7) with ex-husband are happy with it then I will support them. I don’t think there is anything wrong in that in today’s time.” added Mr Kapoor.
Karisma got married to businessman Sunjay Kapur in 2003 and separated from him in 2016 after a long legal battle. Sunjay married Priya Sachdeva earlier this year.
