The Supreme Court is set to delve into a contentious battle over privacy versus public right-to-know on January 16. At the center is investigative reporter Priya Sachdeva’s bid to unseal secret divorce records from Karisma Kapoor and Sanjay Kapur’s bitter separation.
What began as a glamorous union in 2003 unraveled spectacularly, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions about fortunes, properties, and custody deals. Sachdeva claims these papers expose systemic flaws in how wealthy couples navigate family courts, often to the detriment of fairness.
Her application, filed under freedom of information grounds, paints a picture of opulent lifestyles clashing with legal loopholes. Insiders suggest the documents detail offshore accounts and lavish alimony arrangements that raise eyebrows.
Karisma’s legal representatives have fired back, calling the request an invasion of privacy disguised as journalism. They argue that family matters deserve sanctity, regardless of celebrity status.
This hearing arrives amid rising debates on media ethics and judicial transparency. Observers predict it could influence future cases involving stars. With stakes this high, all eyes are on the apex court to balance individual rights against collective curiosity.
