Sunjay Kapur’s sister Mandhira sides with Karisma Kapoor and her children; reacts to Priya Sachdev filing defamation suit: ‘Kids lost their best friend’

Addressing the same, Mandhira said, “All of what I said is mentioned in court, how am I defaming? Anything I have lied about, let me know, because I can guarantee I’ve lied about nothing. The funny thing is the media got it before me! These are all tactics to distract me from what is going on.”

Mandhira added that her mother Rani is extremely upset about the current situation. “I sit with my mother everyday, and she says, ‘Get everything back, your father (Surinder Kapoor) and I built this.’ It’s horrible, what our family is going through. I am not going to go out there and lie to anybody about what the reality is. There’s nothing I can do if Priya is upset. I don’t blame her for being upset, but it is the truth. My mother, who built everything, today doesn’t have anything on her name. Imagine what she is going through.”

Speaking about Sunjay Kapur’s business and estate, she claimed that it was all built by her parents. “The fact is, all this belongs to my mother, my sister, to me, our children, my brother’s children. No one was trying to cut Priya out, she is the one who has done all this. No one was going to cut out of her bit of the family inheritance, but you don’t take it all and walk away. My father and mother never planned to give it to one child. We are going to fight for what is my mother’s right while she is alive. Everything was meant to be on her name, and that’s what my dad wanted,” she shared.

During the same interview, Mandhira Kapur revealed that she is very much in touch with Sunjay Kapur’s ex wife Karisma Kapoor and her children Samaaira and Kiaan. “The kids have lost their best friend. My mother lost her son. It’s very tough. Everyone is going on about the money, but it’s also about my father’s legacy. The whole story that she (Priya) is doing about my father, that he ran down the company to the ground and my brother brought it up… no, the company was doing really well. Should I put a defamation against her now? You want to play this game? We can keep playing it. I have got nothing to lose,” she concluded.

Karisma Kapoor’s children have filed a new plea in the Delhi High Court challenging the authenticity of Sunjay Kapur’s will. The legal dispute, which already has many layers, intensified after his family claimed that the signature on the will is fake. Meanwhile, Priya Kapur filed an application, seeking documents of Sunjay and Karisma’s 2016 divorce. On Friday, the court asked Karisma to file her objections in two weeks on the maintainability of the application, as per a report by PTI.

Karisma Kapoor tied the knot with Sunjay Kapur in 2003. However, after welcoming two children during their marriage, the couple got divorced in 2016 after a prolonged legal battle. He then married Priya Sachdev the next year and they have a son Azarias together. Unfortunately, Sunjay died at the age of 53 in June last year.
