6 Bollywood Celebrity Couples Who Fought In Courts For Custody Of Their Children

Let us have a look at some of the celebrity couples who are (or have been) in midst of such custody battles. Take a look:

1. Leander Paes and Rhea Pillai

On May 3, 2014, Leander Paes filed a petition in the court seeking the custody of his child Aiyana. What came out more shockingly was the fact that Rhea and Leander were never married, and have been in a live-in relationship for the past 8 years. In his custody petition, Leander alleged that Rhea is not a good mother and that he is concerned about Aiyana’s well-being and safety. In his petition for custody, Paes also mentioned, “escapades, indiscreet and irresponsible behaviour, lack of personal maternal supervision, volatile temper and self-indulgence created insecurity in the child and was detrimental to a healthy upbringing,” as reasons to seek sole custody. He also sought court’s order to restrain Rhea from taking Aiyana, out of Mumbai.

2. Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor

Soon after Leander went public with his petition, Sunjay Kapur too filed a petition seeking the custody his daughter Samaira, and son Kiaan Raj Kapoor. Initially, Sunjay had filed for the custody of Samaira, but later he filed one for Kiaan as well. Sunjay told the media that he was forced to take this step because Karisma did not allow him to meet their children. Later, as per the court’s suggestion, the two decided to end their divorce battle amicably. They came to an agreement as per which, Karisma was given the custody of their kids while Sunjay was provided with the visitation rights.
