Although not much is known about her new love interest, sources say the couple are getting to know each other better.

Karishma has been separated from Sanjay for over seven years. However, their divorce and child custody issues have not been finalised. They have two children, Samaira and Kiaan Raj. The two separated after the birth of their first child Samaira but they came back together again and Karisma gave birth to Kiaan. Their break-up was said to be due to Sanjay’s philandering ways.
