In a new twist to the ongoing feud over the ₹30,000 crore estate of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor’s two children have approached the Delhi High Court seeking a share in their father’s assets.
The siblings have accused stepmother Priya Kapur (third wife of Sanjay Kapur) of forging Sunjay Kapur's will and trying to gain total control of the assets.
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married for 13 years, between 2003 and 2016 before getting divoced. They have a son and a daughter together.
The children, represented by their mother, have moved the Court arguing that they have been wrongfully excluded from Kapur’s estate by Priya Kapur following his sudden death in June this year while in the United Kingdom.
The suit names Priya Kapur, her minor son, his mother Rani Kapur and the purported executor of the will, Shradha Suri Marwah, as defendants.
Central to the dispute is a will dated March 21, 2025, which allegedly leaves Sunjay Kapur’s entire personal estate to Priya Kapur.
The children have claimed that their stepmother conspired with two associates, Dinesh Agarwal and Nitin Sharma, to suppress the will for over seven weeks before revealing it at a family meeting on July 30, 2025.
It has been argued that the will is forged and fabricated.
“The Plaintiffs submit that the purported will allegedly executed by the Plaintiffs’ father is not a legal and valid document, is forged and fabricated and in any event surrounded by suspicious circumstances. It is for this reason that neither the original of the Alleged Purported Will has been shown to the Plaintiffs nor a copy of the Alleged Purported Will has been provided,” the suit states.
According to the plea, Priya Kapur’s conduct demonstrates an attempt to “usurp full control” over Sunjay Kapur’s estate to the exclusion of other legal heirs.
The children have asked the Court to declare them Class I legal heirs and to pass a decree of partition granting them a one-fifth share each in their father’s assets.
As interim relief, they have sought freezing of all personal assets belonging to Sunjay Kapur until the matter is resolved.
The suit has been filed by Shantanu Aggarwal for Lexster law LPP and Madhulika Rai Sharma.
