An age-old adage goes that marriages are made in heaven. But divorces and the ugly custody battles that follow are definitely man-made. In the wake of rumours about the latest celebrity custody saga between Karisma Kapoor and Sanjay Kapur for their nine-year-old Samaira, the issue comes to the fore again. Sanjay Kapur is said to have filed a fresh petition at the Bandra Family Court for his daughter’s custody. This news came soon after an ugly battle broke out between tennis player Leander Paes and Rhea Pillai for the custody of their daughter, the seven-year-old Aiyana.
