In a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding the estate of the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, his children with Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan, have approached the Delhi High Court seeking their rightful share of his wealth. Sunjay Kapur, who passed away on June 12, 2025, reportedly due to cardiac arrest while playing polo in the UK, left behind an estate estimated to be worth ₹30,000 crore.

The two children, represented by their mother Karisma Kapoor as their legal guardian, have filed a civil suit alleging that their stepmother, Priya Kapur, Sunjay's third wife, has attempted to forge their father's will to gain complete control over his assets. The suit seeks partition of the estate, a rendition of accounts, and a permanent injunction against the defendants.

According to the plaint, the children claim they lack complete information regarding their father's assets at the time of his death. While they have provided a schedule of known properties, they accuse Priya Kapur of concealing details and failing to disclose the full extent of the assets. The children assert that they shared a close relationship with their father until his sudden demise, including frequent travels, holidays, and regular involvement in his business and personal life.

The plaintiffs further allege that Priya Kapur initially denied the existence of any will, claiming that all of Sunjay Kapur's assets were held under the R.K. Family Trust. However, she later presented a document dated March 21, 2025, which she presented as a will, leading to suspicions of forgery and manipulation.

The legal battle involves several parties. Besides Samaira and Kiaan, represented by Karisma Kapoor, the defendants include Priya Kapur and her minor son, who reside at the family's farmhouse in Rajokri, as well as Sunjay Kapur's mother and a woman identified as the executor of the contested will.

Prior to his death, Sunjay Kapur had reportedly assured his children of their financial security and future well-being. Even after his divorce from Karisma Kapoor in 2016, Sunjay took steps to ensure his children's financial stability. He had allotted bonds worth ₹14 crore to each of them, guaranteeing a monthly income of ₹10 lakh each. Karisma Kapoor was also given ownership of a family property previously owned by Sunjay's father.

Sunjay Kapur's business acumen transformed Sona Comstar into a global auto component giant with a market capitalization of approximately ₹31,000 crore by early 2025. Following Sunjay's death, Priya Sachdev Kapur now manages the trust's interests and serves as the legal guardian of their son Azarius, who also inherits a share. She was also appointed as a non-executive director of the company in July.

Sunjay Kapur's mother, Rani Kapur, has reportedly challenged Priya's growing influence, alleging that she was pressured into signing documents and excluded from decision-making during the mourning period. The legal proceedings initiated by Karisma Kapoor's children add another layer of complexity to the ongoing family disputes surrounding the inheritance of Sunjay Kapur's vast estate.
