The Delhi High Court is now the stage for a tense family battle involving Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan. They’ve accused their late father Sunjay Kapur’s third wife, Priya Kapur, of using a fake will to seize a Rs30,000-crore fortune.
What began as a private inheritance issue has become a national discussion on how digital manipulation can twist matters of legacy and law.

Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani shocked the court with claims that Sunjay Kapur’s will wasn’t his creation. He argued it was edited on another man’s computer, pointing to metadata mismatches, WhatsApp shares, and broken digital records.
The file’s creation dates, which match Sunjay’s personal time away from work, have only deepened the mystery. Missing annexures, wrong asset details, and even errors about his own children raise more doubts about the document’s authenticity.
Jethmalani described Sunjay as a careful father and businessman who would never cut his children out of his will. That argument struck an emotional chord in court.
But Priya Kapur’s legal team stands firm, claiming the will’s authenticity rests on “unimpeachable electronic evidence.”
With the case adjourned for the forensic review of digital trails and custody of the original will, the courtroom is waiting for answers. This fight isn’t just about inheritance—it’s a test of how India’s legal system defines digital truth when legacy and technology collide.
