Sunjay Kapur Property Case: Sister Mandhira Smith Slams Priya For Defamation Suit; Says ‘These Are All Tactics...’

Late

businessman Sunjay Kapur’s property battle is getting uglier with each passing day. His widow, Priya Kapur, filed a criminal defamation case against his sister, Mandhira Kapur Smith. Now, Mandhira has reacted to the allegations levelled against her by Priya and stated that everything is a lie. According to a Bar and Bench report, Priya Kapur complained that Mandhira repeatedly uploaded and circulated videos and posts on YouTube and other social media platforms in which she stated, “false allegations designed to cause hatred, ridicule and social ostracism, thereby demolishing the reputation of the complainant.” Mandhira has now denied all the allegations levelled against her.

Mandhira Kapur Smith breaks silence

During an interview with HT City, Mandhira Kapur Smith confessed that she never said anything false. She said, “All of what I said is mentioned in court; how am I defaming? If there is 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.” For the unversed, Sunjay Kapur’s family, his mother Rani and ex-wife Karisma Kapoor and her kids, are fighting a nasty legal battle with Priya Kapur over ownership of his Rs 30,000 crore. Mandhira also revealed that her mother, Rani, is upset with all the turns of events.

She said, “I sit with my mother every day, 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 in her name. Imagine what she is going through.”

Mandhira Kapur also mentioned that everything belongs to her brother Sunjay’s parents and kids, but that doesn’t mean they would cut off Priya from their lives. The late businessman’s sister further stated, “The fact is, all this belongs to my mother, my sister, to me, our children, and 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 her 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 first while she is alive. Everything was meant to be in her name, and that’s what my dad wanted.” Mandhira Kapur Smith is very much in touch with Karisma Kapoor and her kids, Samaaira and Kiaan. She feels that the kids lost their best friend and her mother lost her son. She concluded her statement by saying, “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 in a defamation against her now? You want to play this game? We can keep playing it. I have got nothing to lose.” It has to be noted that Priya Kapur has not yet reacted to Mandhira Kapur Smith’s comments against her.
