\"KarismaThe battle over late Sunjay Kapur’s wealth escalates. His children and mother challenge the will. They allege forgery by his widow, Priya Sachdeva Kapur. Sunjay’s sister, Mandhira Kapur Smith, supports the children. She questions the will’s validity. Karisma Kapoor’s lawyer clarifies the focus is on securing the children’s inheritance. The family disputes the reported estate value. The fight over late businessman Sunjay Kapur\u2019s reported Rs 30,000 crore estate is getting more intense. His children with ex-wife Karisma Kapoor<\/a>, along with his mother Rani Kapur, have taken legal action against his widow, Priya Sachdeva Kapur, claiming she forged his will. The contested document names Priya as the sole heir to Sunjay\u2019s fortune. Now, adding more weight to their side, Sunjay\u2019s sister Mandhira Kapur Smith has also stepped in to support Karisma and her kids.<\/p>\n

Mandhira questions the will<\/p>\n

Speaking to Republic World, Mandhira questioned the validity of the will. She said it was hard to believe her brother, who was deeply attached to his children Samaira and Kiaan, would leave everything to just one person and not include them. Calling it out of character, she added that the family plans to challenge the will since Sunjay was a father of three. Mandhira also revealed that they don\u2019t even know what\u2019s in the will yet and feel completely in the dark about the whole matter.<\/p>\n

Mandhira also raised concerns about accessing the will. She revealed that her mother had reached out to the company for details, including the will and the autopsy report, but received no response, with claims that her emails were compromised. Finding out about the will came as a complete shock to the family, as they had no idea it even existed.<\/p>\n

Lawyer clarifies focus of the legal battle<\/p>\n

Karisma’s lawyer, Mahesh Jethmalani, clarified that the legal battle isn\u2019t about Karisma getting anything for herself. He said the fight is focused on securing her children\u2019s share, as her late ex-husband intended. The case revolves around the assets mentioned in a will\u2014covering his overseas holdings\u2014which has never been disclosed, registered, or probated. The dispute does not concern the assets already covered under a trust in India.<\/p>\n

The Rs 30,000 crore figure is disputed<\/p>\n

Jethmalani also addressed the widely reported Rs 30,000 crore figure, calling it ‘a media creation.’ He explained that the exact value of Sunjay’s personal assets can\u2019t be determined yet, as the details in the will haven\u2019t been disclosed. The lawyer said they don\u2019t know what assets are included or their true valuation, and that the reported number likely combines both his Indian and overseas holdings. Without complete information from the will or other beneficiaries, he added, it\u2019s impossible to make an accurate assessment at this stage.He also questioned Priya’s claim of giving Rs 1,900 crore to Karisma and Sunjay\u2019s children. He pointed out that if the estate really is Rs 30,000 crore and there are only five class-one heirs\u2014Sunjay\u2019s mother, his three children, and Priya\u2014there\u2019s no reason for the will to remain undisclosed. He stressed that the children\u2019s share isn\u2019t a favor from Priya, but their rightful inheritance, and criticised the claim that the remaining Rs 28,000 crore would automatically go to her. The focus, he said, is on securing what legally belongs to Sunjay\u2019s children.When asked about the March 21 will that reportedly left Sunjay\u2019s entire estate to Priya, Jethmalani said they haven\u2019t seen it yet and can\u2019t comment. He added that the court has now ordered its disclosure, so the family will soon know the details of the will.<\/p>\n

Priya\u2019s response to children\u2019s claims<\/p>\n

According to Bar and Bench, Priya’s lawyer responded to Samaira and Kiaan\u2019s claims, saying the children have already received assets worth Rs 1,900 crore and haven\u2019t been left on the streets. However, sources say that control of Sunjay Kapur\u2019s assets still lies with Priya under the RK family trust, and the children currently have no access to their Rs 1,900 crore inheritance.Meanwhile, Rani Kapur\u2019s lawyer, senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar, said the real fight is between Karisma Kapoor and Priya Sachdev. He added that while Rani Kapur is affected by the dispute, she will file her response soon, making her position clear.Disclaimer: The information in this report is based on a legal hearing as reported by a third-party source.
