According to a report in Hindustan Times, Karisma agreed to withdraw all the complaints and cases filed against her estranged husband at the local police station.
The 41-year-old actor had earlier won the custody battle which was said to be the major bone of contention between the two and Sunjay has been granted visitation rights. In fact, financial exchanges between the estranged couple have also been agreed upon.
It has been reported that a house in Mumbai owned by Sunjay's family has been given to Karisma. Moreover, the monthly interest from bonds of Rs 14 crore bought by Sunjay for their children will be used to pay their expenses.
The report further suggested that Sunjay's advocate Sanjay Aman Hingorani said the family court has accepted the settlement.
Sunjay and Karisma had filed a mutual consent divorce petition in 2014. But Karisma took everyone by surprise when she withdrew her consent from the divorce in November 2015 due to their disagreement on some financial issues. Later Kapur made heads turn with his statement that Karisma married him on a rebound after her break-up with Abhishek Bachchan.
The mudslinging did not stop here. The Raja Hindustani actor later filed a dowry harassment case against Kapur and her mother-in-law. But it was only recently that the two decided to settle things amicably.
Karisma tied the knot with Sunjay in 2003. But soon things began to turn sour. Despite efforts from both the sides, Karisma left Sunjay's home in 2010 and permanently shifted back to Mumbai. The couple has two children- Kiaan Raj Kapoor and Samiera Kapoor.
