Mandhira Kapur has revealed how her mother was isolated and made to sign legal papers by several people, including Sunjay’s wife, Priya Sachdev. 
Priya Sachdev Kapur is now listed as a non-executive director’ of Sona Comstar.
Karisma Kapoor’s ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, a well-known business tycoon and chairman of mobility giant Sona Comstar, died of cardiac arrest in June at just 53. His death has since led to legal wrangles and claims over the family-run empire. But in the middle of boardroom battles and inheritance disputes, his sister, Mandhira Kapur, has revealed how her mother was made to sign legal papers by several people, including Sunjay’s wife, Priya Sachdev.
Mandhira told Republic, “What papers are they not showing us that they’d gotten signed in this 13-day period that they’ve taken over? My mother was made to sign papers behind locked doors. And this wasn’t once, but twice.” She added, “I was standing at the door banging on it. She was grieving.”
Mandhira said, “There were two doors, actually — a door inside and a door outside. So she couldn’t hear me. The bottom line is she signed some papers during the mourning period. She was in deep grief. She came to me and said, ‘I don’t know what papers I’ve signed. And since then, we’ve been asking and getting no response. So, what are you hiding from us? I think this will all unfold at some point, and the truth will come out.”
While Mandhira hasn’t spoken to Priya, she said that her mother reached out and demanded to see the papers. While Priya promised to send them over, the mother and daughter have yet to receive them. “We’ve written to the people asking them (for the papers), and we’ve been told her email is compromised. So we can’t send her anything,” claimed Mandhira. Priya is currently the Non-Executive Director of Sona Comstar.
While Mandhira and Sunjay were estranged, she has now come to help her mother. “We had a fight between a brother and a sister. But it doesn’t take away the 40+ years before that. It doesn’t take away from the fact that I’m Dr. Kapur’s daughter. Why wouldn’t I fight for my mother? Who’s everyone else who’s coming in and claiming anything?” said Mandhira.
She also denied speculation that she only returned to stake a claim in her brother’s inheritance, as her own business is suffering. “Who once said my business isn’t doing well? This is the beauty of this entire thing unfolding — I get told a new thing every day. I’m not fighting for inheritance, but for legacy. When you’ve built something, you know its value. When you’re standing on the outside, you only see the money value. We have an emotional attachment to this brand,” Mandhira concluded.
