One person took all: Sunjay Kapurs sister amid legal battle involving his wife Priya Sachdev

Karisma Kapoors children, Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur, have filed a lawsuit against Priya Sachdev, their fathers third wife.

Amid an ongoing inheritance battle in court following businessman Sunjay Kapurs death, his sister Mandhira Kapur Smith came out in support of Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoors children.

The actors children, Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur, have filed a lawsuit against Priya Sachdev, their fathers third wife. The suit accuses Priya of forging and fabricating a purported will, and the siblings seek a share in their fathers assets worth ₹30,000 crore.

Coming out in support of Karisma Kapurs children, Mandhira said it doesnt make sense that Sunjay would leave Samaira and Kiaan out of the will. “I stand by them because I do not think that if anyone knows the relationship they have had with their father and for their father not to have them a part of the will, it just doesnt add up. Doesnt make sense. So I stand by them, she was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

One person took everything Mandhira Kapur Smith indirectly targeted Priya Sachdev, alleging one person took everything. She also alleged that there was no roof over her mother Rani Kapurs head, asserting that all of Sunjays wealth was created by his father and later grown by him.

Were not asking for what is not our right. My dad created all this. My dad created it for my mother. My brother grew it, like all Indian families do. And then it was supposed to be distributed equally among the families. So again, one person has come in and taken everything, and my mother doesnt even have a roof over her head, she was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Mandhiras remarks came after the Delhi High Court directed Priya Sachdev to file a comprehensive list of all movable and immovable assets of her late husband Sunjay. The matter will be heard again on October 9. Sunjays sister welcomed the courts move, asserting it would pave way for some clarity in the matter.

What do Karismas kids allege? Karisma Kapoor was married to Sunjay Kapur from 2003 to 2016, the year their divorce was finalised. As part of the divorce terms, while Karisma got custody of their children Samaira and Kiaan, Sunjay got visitation rights.

Months after Sunjay Kapur passed away in June this year, his children moved the Delhi High Court, alleging that his third wife and stepmother Priya suppressed the disputed will, and wants to usurp full control of their fathers assets. They seek to be named class I legal heirs to Sunjays assets.

The suit also names Sunjays mother Rani Kapur, and Shradha Suri Marwah, the purported executor of the will.

Sunjays mother questions Priya Sachdev Not just Karisma Kapoors kids, Sunjay Kapurs mother Rani also questioned the validity of the purported will in her submissions to the court, made on Wednesday. “There is something incredibly unholy. ₹10,000 crore worth of assets should have been mine”, said the advocate representing Rani Kapur.

She reportedly also questioned how the entire estate was transferred to Priya just three months after her marriage to Sunjay, arguing that her vested interest had been overlooked.
