Karisma Kapoor's father, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, once referred to his former son-in-law Sunjay Kapur as a 'third-class' man following his daughter's divorce. Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Sunjay Kapur was tumultuous, with reports alleging that he had subjected her to severe mistreatment. Karisma claimed that Sunjay had pressured her to sleep with his friends and even attempted to auction her off. Their marriage, which began in 2003, ended in a legal battle for the custody of their children, with Karisma filing for divorce. She alleged that during their honeymoon, Sunjay had tried to sell her to one of his friends for intimate purposes, leading to a physical altercation when she refused.

Karisma also recounted an incident during her pregnancy when she couldn't fit into an outfit given by her mother-in-law, and Sunjay reportedly encouraged his mother to slap her. The actress spoke about facing domestic violence and shared these harrowing experiences in court. Karisma filed a police complaint against Sunjay and his mother for domestic violence in 2016. A police officer in Khar confirmed the complaint, stating, "We have registered the case and will conduct an inquiry into the matter based on the allegations. We will question Sunjay and his mother in the coming week."

Throughout this challenging period, Karisma had the unwavering support of her family, who helped her overcome the ordeal and become the best version of herself. Karisma separated from Sunjay ten years ago and is now in a happy and healthy space. She has also revitalized her acting career and will next be seen in Murder Mubarak alongside Sara Ali Khan.

In Murder Mubarak, Karisma Kapoor is set to captivate audiences with her enigmatic and captivating portrayal. Over her three-decade career, she has explored a wide range of genres, from comedy (Raja Babu, Judwaa, Haseena Maan Jaayegi) to romance (Raja Hindustani, Dil To Pagal Hai) to drama (Fiza, Zubeidaa). With this latest project from the OTT platform, she delves into the realm of mystery, where every character is both innocent and a suspect.

This film marks her return to the screen after Brown, a police procedural that follows the story of Rita Brown, a recovering alcoholic, and Arjun Sinha, a widower grappling with survivor's guilt. In Murder Mubarak, Karisma Kapoor portrays a deglamorized role as Rita Brown, a cop investigating the murder of a young woman.
