Karisma Kapoor’s Kids Raise Eyebrows With Questions About Sunjay Kapur

Delhi HC Hears Dispute Over Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000 Crore Fortune; Children Challenge Will.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday continued its hearing into the high-profile family dispute over businessman Sunjay Kapur’s estimated Rs 30,000 crore fortune. At the heart of the case is Kapur’s will, which reportedly leaves his personal estate entirely to his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur. Kapur’s children from his second marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan, have challenged the will, claiming it is forged.

During the hearing, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Samaira and Kiaan, argued that even Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, was sidelined in the contested will.

“Only Priya Kapur profits from this forged will,” Jethmalani told the court.

He further highlighted apparent inconsistencies in the document, including the use of feminine pronouns to refer to Sunjay Kapur: “When you see ‘she’ and ‘her’ used in four places, it is incredulous that Sunjay Kapur, with all his knowledge, could have drafted this,” he said.

Jethmalani also pointed out contradictions and other irregularities in the will, questioning why such a significant estate would be left without proper registration, making it contestable in court. “If Sunjay Kapur truly intended to bequeath all personal assets solely to his wife, he would have registered the will. But he did not,” he said.

The hearings, now in their third session, have revolved around claims of forgery and attempts to disinherit Kapur’s children. Previous sessions highlighted errors such as the misspelling of a son’s name and incorrect recording of the daughter’s address — mistakes described by Jethmalani as uncharacteristic of Sunjay Kapur.

The case has also seen dramatic courtroom exchanges, with Jethmalani drawing comparisons between Priya Kapur and Cinderella’s stepmother, accusing her of prioritising personal gain over fairness to the children.

“She got 60 per cent of the assets and allotted only 12 per cent to her son. She is also getting 75 per cent of the trust, yet remains focused solely on her personal assets,” he argued.
