As of September 2025, Samaira Kapur, the elder child of Karisma Kapoor and the late Sunjay Kapur, is 20 years old, having been born on March 11, 2005. Kiaan Raj Kapur, her younger brother, is 15 years old, born in 2010.
What Samaira is Doing Now:
Samaira Kapur is currently focusing on her education. After completing her schooling at the American School of Bombay, Mumbai, she is now pursuing her undergraduate degree at Tufts University in Massachusetts, USA. Her areas of interest lie in international relations and business. Maintaining a low profile, Samaira appears deeply focused on her academic journey, suggesting that she is building her own path outside of the film industry, potentially with a career abroad.
What Kiaan is Doing Now:
Kiaan Raj Kapur is currently studying in school in Mumbai. He is known to be shy and private, and he generally stays away from the spotlight. While he sometimes attends family events with his mother, Karisma Kapoor, he mostly enjoys a quiet life away from the cameras and has not shown significant interest in films or social media, unlike many other star kids.
Recent Developments:
Recently, Samaira and Kiaan have been in the news due to a dispute over their late father Sunjay Kapur's estate, estimated to be worth ₹30,000 crore. They have approached the Delhi High Court, challenging a will dated March 21, 2024, which reportedly leaves the entire estate to their stepmother, Priya Sachdev Kapur. The siblings are seeking a one-fifth share each of their father's assets, claiming that the will is forged and that they have been wrongfully excluded from the inheritance. The court has directed Priya Kapur to submit a comprehensive list of Sunjay's assets and has scheduled the next hearing for October 9.
Amidst this legal battle, it has also emerged that Sunjay Kapur was assisting Karisma and their children in obtaining Portuguese citizenship. Documents submitted in court revealed discussions between Sunjay and Karisma regarding this matter, with Sunjay noting that Indian citizenship would need to be relinquished to acquire a Portuguese passport. Karisma's lawyer has suggested that Sunjay's offer to arrange Portuguese citizenship might be linked to the inheritance of his foreign assets, potentially to avoid inheritance tax.
Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, at the age of 53, due to a heart attack while playing polo in England. His funeral was held in Delhi, and a prayer meeting was conducted, which was attended by Karisma Kapoor and his children.
Sunjay Kapur's sister, Mandhira Kapur Smith, has voiced her support for Samaira and Kiaan in the inheritance battle. She welcomed the High Court's direction for transparency and expressed surprise that the will did not include any provisions for Samaira and Kiaan, given their close relationship with their father.
Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay's widow, has stated that the children have already received ₹1,900 crore from the Rani Kapur Trust. Her lawyer argued that the suit was not maintainable, emphasizing that Priya is Sunjay's last legal wife and that the children are already beneficiaries of a family trust.
