Mumbai: Sunjay Kapur has held estranged wife Karisma Kapoor for the trouble in their eleven year long marriage in a new divorce petition filed in a Bandra family court and has alleged that the actress tied the nuptial knot with him for money!

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Kapur, in his divorce petition has accused Karisma of “cruelly depriving” his father access to his children Samaaira and Kiaan.

Sunjay has also accused Karisma of using their children as “pawns” and not letting him meet them in a bid to claim money.

 "The respondent (Karisma) has failed not only as a wife and daughter-in-law, but also as a mother," Mumbai Mirror quoted the petition in the report.

 The custody of the children is still under dispute.

However, Karisma’s advocate has rubbished all the allegations.

"We will tell the court that he is causing great harm to the children's welfare by spreading false stories. We don't want trial by media," the tabloid quoted Kranti Sathe, Karisma’ lawyer as saying.
