Sunjay Kapur Estate Battle: Late Tycoon's Sister Supports Karisma Kapoor's Children; Calls Priya's Kid 'Step-Daughter'

The

Kapur family’s inheritance battle has intensified, with late businessman Sunjay Kapur’s sister, Mandhira Kapur, publicly accusing his widow Priya Sachdev Kapur of fraud, concealment and excluding Sunjay’s biological children, Samaira and Kiaan, from what she believes is their rightful share. Her explosive statements have brought the private family dispute into a charged public spotlight, setting the stage for a prolonged legal confrontation.

Mandhira Kapoor's accusations against Priya Sachdev Kapur

The ongoing dispute over Sunjay Kapur’s estate has again escalated. Mandhira Kapur appeared on the podcast InControversial with Pooja Chadhuri, criticising Priya Sachdev Kapur and raising doubts about the Will submitted before the Delhi High Court. She described the entire situation as “major theft. Major fraud. Pure robbery,” while questioning the legitimacy of the document.Mandhira accused Priya of demanding secrecy at every stage, saying, “You wanted an NDA. You wanted the Will in a sealed envelope. And now you don’t want a forensic. What are you hiding? How many games are we going to play?” She added that she intends to challenge everything: “As far as I go, I'm going to fight this till the end. Who is she not to pay the tuition fees, dude? It's not her money that she's claimed it. This is pure robbery. This is what you call major theft. This is what you call major fraud. And this country needs to wake up and see it.”Mandhira further alleged that their mother, Rani Kapur, was made to sign documents “behind closed doors” shortly after Sunjay’s death. “My mother doesn’t know what she signed. She was overwhelmed, grieving and vulnerable. This family has been ripped off everything that belongs to us.”She emphasised the family’s collective contribution: “There is a family in which there were five of us who built this with dad. You can't cut us off.”

Mandhira contests bill excluding Karisma-Sunjay's kids

A major point of contention is how the Will identifies Sunjay’s children. Mandhira stated, “Safira has been called the daughter (in the Will). Samaira is the daughter, not Safira. Safira is the stepdaughter. Her biological father (Vikram Chatwal) is alive.” Reports suggest the Will names Priya and her two children, Safira and Azarius, but excludes Samaira and Kiaan.Mandhira continued, “Nobody is denying that my brother cared for Safira. But don’t take over when Samaira is there. Don’t name Safira ‘the daughter.’ She is the stepdaughter. Stop rewriting lineage.”Highlighting the impact on Samaira and Kiaan, she said, “Those two kids, Samaira and Kiaan - they’ve lost their best friend. And now they’re being robbed of everything that is rightfully theirs.” She also claimed that Priya withheld basic expenses: “Who is she not to pay the school fees? It’s not her money. This is major theft. Major fraud.”Despite the deepening conflict, Mandhira said reconciliation is possible: “If everything my mother signed post-2017 is shown to my sister and our lawyers, they will sit at the table.” Until then, she insists, “I will not let her take my father’s legacy away. I will fight till the end.”Will the matter be resolved or the legal battle will turn more bitter? Write to us in the comments.
