MUMBAI: Indian actress Karisma Kapoor has filed a complaint of mental harassment against her estranged husband Sunjay and mother-in-law Rani Kapur.

The Biwi No.1 star’s lawyer says it is a case of harassment which is completely different from her divorce case.

“It’s not a dowry case. It’s a case of harassment and this case is completely different from the ongoing divorce case. This doesn’t even come under family court. It’s in the magistrate court. She is not claiming anything for herself,” Kapoor’s lawyer Kranti Sathe told IANS.

“It is basically for the settlement of children (son Kiaan Raj Kapoor and elder daughter Samiera Kapoor). She basically wants to protect her children,” Sathe added.

Reports earlier this year said the divorce petition filed by Sunjay claimed that Karisma had married him for his money.
