Karisma Kapoor’s Children Kiaan and Samara Legal Battle
The legal battle surrounding the estate of the late businessman Sunjay Kapur has escalated as his children, Kiaan Raj Kapoor and Samara Kapoor, challenge the validity of their father’s will in the Delhi High Court. Represented by senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, the siblings have raised serious allegations against their stepmother, Priya Sachdev, claiming that the will contains significant inaccuracies and may have been forged. The court proceedings are set to continue, drawing considerable public interest due to the high-profile nature of the family involved.
Kiaan and Samara Challenge the Will’s Authenticity
Kiaan and Samara Kapoor have taken legal action to contest the authenticity of their father Sunjay Kapur’s will. Their attorney, Mahesh Jethmalani, presented compelling arguments in court, asserting that the will includes glaring errors, such as misspellings of Kiaan’s name and inaccuracies in Samara’s address. Jethmalani emphasized that these mistakes are not trivial, suggesting that they raise doubts about whether the will was genuinely authored or approved by Sunjay Kapur. The close bond between the children and their father further supports their claim, as it seems unlikely he would make such errors regarding their identities. The court has scheduled further hearings to delve deeper into these allegations.
Concerns Over Beneficiary Distribution
While Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay’s ex-wife, is not directly involved as a plaintiff, she is reportedly backing her children throughout the legal proceedings. The legal team has pointed out that the will appears to favor only one individual—Priya Sachdev—raising suspicions about its legitimacy. According to Jethmalani, the absence of other beneficiaries in the will suggests a potential motive for forgery. He argued that if the document is proven to be fraudulent, it would indicate that only one person had the incentive to create it in such a manner. The court’s upcoming sessions will likely focus on these critical issues as the case unfolds.
Previous Allegations and Court Proceedings
This ongoing legal dispute is not the first instance of serious allegations against Priya Sachdev. On October 9, Kiaan and Samara likened their stepmother to “Cinderella’s evil stepmother” during court proceedings, expressing feelings of being unfairly treated regarding their inheritance. Earlier, on September 26, the court had instructed Priya to submit a detailed list of Sunjay Kapur’s assets in a sealed cover. Additionally, the court has urged all parties involved to avoid disclosing sensitive information about the estate to the media, aiming to maintain the privacy and integrity of the legal process.
Background on Sunjay Kapur and His Family
Sunjay Kapur, who served as the chairman of Sona Comstar, a prominent automotive components company, passed away in June 2025 in London, reportedly from a heart attack. He was married to Karisma Kapoor from 2003 until their divorce in 2016, and they share two children, Kiaan and Samara. In 2017, he married Priya Sachdev, with whom he remained until his death. The ongoing estate dispute has garnered significant attention, reflecting the complexities of high-profile family dynamics and legal battles.
