Priya Sachdev claims Rs 1900 cr transferred to Karisma Kapoor’s children as they say ‘blindsided’ by Sunjay Kapur’s ‘suspiciously timed’ will: Rs 30,000 cr estate dispute

The source continued, “As per documents available, the timing seems suspicious: the will is dated just 11 weeks before his death, and merely a day after his funeral Priya Kapur stepped in as Managing Director of the company. The children, meanwhile, were denied any information about their father’s personal assets and as per reports, and yet to receive a copy of such will. This unfolding dispute speaks to power, secrecy, and the rights of children excluded from succession, with potential implications for many families facing similar struggles in India’s corporate and personal succession battles.”

However, in a hearing in the case on September 10, Priya Sachdev Kapoor, represented by senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, told Justice Jyoti Singh that “For all this crying and weeping that is going on, plaintiffs received Rs 1,900 crores from the trust.” Priya was referring to the Rani Kapur Trust, which is the Kapur family’s trust. The deceased’s mother (Rani Kapur) also created a trust… about 5 days before (this) suit (by Karisma Kapoor’s children), under that aspect, Rs 1900 cr worth of asset has been transmitted to the two children (Samaira and Kiaan). They’re the beneficiaries of Rs 1900 cr…I’m (Priya) the last wife of deceased…,” the lawyer said.

Earlier this week, Samaira and Kiaan moved the Delhi HC, challenging the will. Previously, the were not allowed to speak at their father’s funeral in Delhi, which they attended with their mother, her sister Kareena Kapoor, and Kareena’s husband, Saif Ali Khan. Earlier, Sunjay Kapur’s sister, Mandhira, accused Priya of getting her mother, Rani Kapur, to sign certain papers “behind locked doors” while Priya was appointed the Managing Director of the Kapur family business, Sona Comstar.

Previously, Priya had spoken warmly about having Samaira and Kiaan as a part of their ‘blended family’. “We have four children — Samaira, the oldest, then Safira, Kiaan, and my and Sunjay’s son, Azarias. It’s a blended family. When my son Azarias was born, he was the glue. He brought the family together because he is half them and half Safira. Our two daughters are very close — Samaira and Safira. We all have grown to love and appreciate each other,” she said in a podcast appearance.
