In the ongoing legal battle over late businessman Sunjay Kapur<\/a>\u2019s estate, Karisma Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have levelled fresh allegations against their stepmother, Priya Sachdev<\/a>. Their lawyer claimed Priya is an \u201cacute gambler\u201d and accused her of attempting to take over their inheritance.<\/p>\n

\"Karisma Karisma Kapoor’s ex-husband Sunjay Kapur died on June 12. Karisma Kapoor\u2019s lawyer attacks Priya Sachdev<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court heard new claims in the ongoing inheritance dispute over Sunjay Kapur\u2019s estate. Justice Jyoti Singh was hearing the plaintiff \u2013 Samaira Kapur and her brother’s lawsuit seeking a share in their late father’s personal assets. Karisma’s kids have filed the suit against Sunjay’s widow Priya, her son Azarius, as well as the deceased’s mother Rani Kapur and Shradha Suri Marwah, purported executor of the will.<\/p>\n

During the proceedings, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Samaira and Kiaan, launched a new attack on Priya, claiming she is \u201can acute gambler”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lady is an acute gambler, good luck to her,” Jethmalani said, adding, \u201cGood luck to her but not at the cost of two children being robbed of their inheritance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethmalani also brought up the claims made by Priya\u2019s lawyer calling the case as a product of \u201cgreedy\u201d intentions. He said, \u201cEverything they receive comes from their grandmother and father. You call them greedy? Your greed, Madam, is far greater \u2013 and it\u2019s written into every line of this will.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Jethmalani, the will also has no mention of Sunjay\u2019s mother, Rani Kapur. \u201cHer exclusion defies logic and decency. It shows this document was not written by a son, but by someone who wanted his mother erased from the estate,\u201d he told the court.<\/p>\n

Jethmalani claimed that Priya controls 60% of the estate directly, 12% through her son, and 75% of the Kapur family trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t inheritance. It\u2019s a takeover \u2013 under the guise of widowhood,\u201d he said. The next hearing is scheduled on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

About Sunjay Kapur’s estate case<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunjay Kapur, the chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading auto parts manufacturer, died in June in London while playing a polo match. His cause of death was later revealed to be a heart attack. Sunjay was married to Karisma from 2003-2016. They have two kids together: Samaira and Kiaan. Sunjay married Priya in 2017.<\/p>\n

Now, Karisma\u2019s kids, Samaira and Kiaan, with their mother, acting as their legal guardian, have raised questions about the authenticity of his will. They are claiming that their late father had ‘repeatedly assured’ them of their share, which was eventually absent in his final will. They have accused their stepmother, Sunjay’s third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, of altering the will. The suit was filed after Priya, at a July 30 family meeting, presented a will allegedly executed on March 21.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Priya later approached the court, requesting permission to disclose details of her late husband\u2019s assets in a sealed cover rather than publicly. The Delhi High Court initially questioned her request for confidentiality, noting that Sunjay\u2019s children from his first wife, Karisma, had the right to scrutinize the will, and a sealed submission could be \u201cproblematic.\u201d However, the court eventually permitted Priya to file the details in a sealed cover, with copies shared with the petitioners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the ongoing legal battle over late businessman Sunjay Kapur\u2019s estate, Karisma Kapoor\u2019s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[79,18,19,45860,17,9019,74281,33320,234,235,9024,9018],"class_list":{"0":"post-122644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-personal-finance","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-inheritance-dispute","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-karisma-kapoor","14":"tag-karisma-kapoor-and-sunjay-kapur-marriage","15":"tag-legal-battle","16":"tag-personal-finance","17":"tag-personalfinance","18":"tag-priya-sachdev","19":"tag-sunjay-kapur"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
