Controversies
- In 2006, Kim accused photographer Vikram Bawa of using a blower fan, during a photoshoot for a men’s magazine, to make her display more skin than she wanted to.
- In April 2017, it was rumoured that Kim got separated from her then-husband, Kenya based businessman, Ali Punjani. According to the media reports, Ali left Kim for another woman. The reports said,
Ali left Kim as he got attracted to another woman. The irony is that when Ali met Kim, he was plump and not great-looking but now because he is in love, he has lost weight and looking great. But Kim is left with no money or financial security. Right now, she is looking to establish her business in Mumbai to provide for herself financially. She is now a brand strategist and goes by the name Kimi Sharma (her real name). Kimi didn’t just leave their home in Kenya behind, but her job as the CEO of Punjani’s chain of hotels as well,”
Various reports started calling her penniless and bankrupt. To give a fitting reply to all of those rumours, Kim took to the microblogging site, Twitter, and wrote,
When you spend the weekend raging at #Coldplay and come back to find out you’re penniless. I can’t wrap my head around all these different angles and “groundbreaking” details everyone seems to know so much about. Straight from the horse’s mouth – There is much ado about nothing.”
