Claims by Karisma’s children

Meanwhile, Priya is facing a high-profile legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s estate. The case was filed by his children with Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan, with their mother acting as their legal guardian. Along with Sunjay’s mother and sister, they have questioned the authenticity of his will.Karisma’s children claim that their late father had repeatedly assured them of their share, which was missing in his final will. They have accused their stepmother, Priya Sachdev Kapur, of altering the document. The lawsuit was filed after Priya presented a will at a July 30 family meeting, allegedly executed on March 21.

Delhi High Court hearing

Last week, the Delhi High Court heard the plea filed by Samaira and Kiaan, seeking their share of their late father’s property and alleging that Priya Sachdev Kapur forged the will to cut them out of the inheritance. Karisma Kapoor is not a plaintiff but is representing her children. During the hearing, the court ordered Priya to list all of Sunjay Kapur’s movable and immovable assets. The next hearing is scheduled for October 9. Sunjay Kapur, founder and chairman of auto manufacturer Sona Comstar, passed away in London in June this year. Go to Source
