Sunjay Kapur’s sudden death from a heart attack on June 12 came as a huge shock. But just a few months later, his family is already tangled in a legal battle over his fortune. His children with second wife Karisma Kapoor have gone to the Delhi High Court, claiming that his third wife, Priya Sachdev, forged the will. Interestingly, Sunjay’s first wife, Nandita Mahtani, hasn’t been involved in the fight at all. So, why is she staying out of this drama? Let’s take a closer look

Who is Nandita Mahtani?

Nandita Mahtani, born in 1976, is a popular Indian fashion designer. She was married to Sunjay Kapur from 1996 to 2000. Over the years, she has built a strong reputation in fashion, styling celebrities like Virat Kohli, Katrina Kaif, and Gauri Khan. In 2024, she impressed fans as a showstopper alongside Karan Johar at a big fashion show.

High-profile relationships

Though Nandita’s marriage to Sunjay was brief, her relationships have often been in the spotlight. She reportedly dated Ranbir Kapoor, who was said to be smitten with her, and later dated Dino Morea, splitting in 2016. Despite the breakup, Nandita still co-owns the company Playground with Dino.The fashion designer later dated actor Vidyut Jamwal, who made headlines by proposing to her while rappelling down a 150-meter wall in Agra. They celebrated their engagement with a romantic trip to the Taj Mahal, sharing viral photos. However, after two years, the couple ended their engagement in 2023.

Sunjay Kapur’s children and family structure

Mahtani married Kapur in 1996, but they divorced in 2000 and didn’t have any children. This is said to be the main reason she has stayed out of the current Kapur family inheritance battle.It’s important to note that Karisma and Sunjay have two children, Samaira and Kiaan. Sunjay and Priya Sachdev also have a son, Azarias, and together they co-parent Priya’s daughter, Safira Chatwal, from her previous marriage.Disclaimer: The information in this report is based on a legal hearing as reported by a third-party source.
