The case, which gripped headlines following Kapur's sudden death on June 12, 2025, escalated during Monday's hearing. Representing Samaira and Kiaan, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani slammed the contested will as a "deliberate fabrication."
He pointed to glaring errors: Samaira's address was mangled, while Kiaan's name was repeatedly misspelled – anomalies Jethmalani argued no loving father like Kapur would commit. "Sunjay shared a profound bond with his children; these slip-ups scream forgery," he asserted, implicating Priya Sachdev in concealing key details, including Kapur's own name from parts of the document.
Priya, Kapur's third wife, has faced mounting scrutiny. Post his demise, Kapur's mother alleged she unlawfully seized control of his vast business empire, sidelining family members. When the court mandated disclosure of the will, Priya's counsel submitted it in a sealed envelope, pleading privacy. Yet, the children – now in their teens – insist on their rightful inheritance, claiming the will omits them entirely to favor Priya's interests.
This isn't just a family feud; it's a testament battle over Sona Koyo Steering Systems tycoon Kapur's legacy, valued at a staggering Rs.30,000 crore. From luxury assets to corporate stakes, the stakes couldn't be higher. The Kapoor siblings' plea underscores broader concerns over will authenticity in India's elite circles, where emotions clash with fortunes.
The hearing resumes today, Tuesday, with the court poised to probe the will's validity. As whispers of forensic analysis swirl, will justice prevail for Karisma's heirs? Stay tuned for updates on this riveting Sunjay Kapur property dispute.
