The legal battle over the vast estate of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur is escalating, with his children from ex-wife Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan, challenging the legitimacy of his final will. They have filed a case against Sunjay’s widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, alleging that she excluded them from the inheritance.
The dispute centers around Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000 crore fortune, including his stake in Sona Comstar, a global leader in the auto parts industry. Samaira, 20, and Kiaan, 14, claim their father had repeatedly promised them a share of his estate, but they were left out of his final will. They accuse their stepmother, Priya, of altering the document. Karisma, although not a plaintiff, is representing her children in the case, as Kiaan is a minor.
The case involves multiple defendants: Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay’s third wife; their son; Sunjay’s mother, who resides at the family farmhouse in Rajokri; and a woman who claims to be the executor of the disputed will. Samaira and Kiaan argue that until his sudden death in June, Sunjay had a close relationship with them, marked by family holidays, business collaborations, and shared milestones.
Following his unexpected passing in a polo accident, Priya initially denied the existence of a will, asserting that Sunjay’s assets were held in the R.K. Family Trust. However, she later presented a will dated March 21, 2025. This led Samaira and Kiaan to suspect that the will may have been forged or manipulated.
Karisma is taking a protective role in this legal battle, shielding her children from the media’s attention while fighting for their rightful share. The case is ongoing, with both sides preparing for a high-stakes courtroom showdown over Sunjay Kapur’s vast estate.
