One of the chats cited in the suit records Sunjay telling Karisma that she would have to give up on her Indian citizenship to obtain a Portuguese passport.

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur got divorced in 2016.

Fresh filings in the Sunjay Kapur inheritance dispute have sparked questions over whether Karisma Kapoor and Sanjay Kapur were actually closer than it was believed to be. WhatsApp chats and documents annexed to the suit filed by Karisma’s children in the Delhi High Court point to ongoing, personal discussions between the former spouses, suggesting deeper ties than previously known.

According to the material placed on record, Sunjay Kapur was facilitating Portuguese citizenship for Karisma Kapoor and their two children. The documents indicate steps being taken toward securing overseas nationality for the family.

One of the chats cited in the suit records Sunjay telling Karisma that she would have to give up on her Indian citizenship to obtain a Portuguese passport. (India does not permit dual citizenship.) The court will examine these materials as the case progresses.
