New Delhi: Bollywood’s Karisma Kapoor faces fresh courtroom heat as her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s third wife, Priya Kapur, drags the Supreme Court into
their bitter property war.
Priya demands secret 2016 divorce papers amid claims of forged will and billions at stake. Will Karisma’s reply expose hidden settlements? Legal fireworks promise more family secrets.
Supreme Court issues notice
The Supreme Court on January 16, 2026, asked actor Karisma Kapoor to respond within two weeks to Priya Kapur’s plea for full divorce records from her marriage to late industrialist Sunjay Kapur. Justice AS Chandurkar heard the matter in chambers and set the next deadline. Priya seeks the complete petition, annexures, orders, notings, settlement agreements, and applications from Sunjay’s 2016 transfer petition to shift their Mumbai divorce case to Delhi.
Property battle Background
Karisma Kapoor and Priya Kapur are locked in a fierce legal fight at the Delhi High Court over Sunjay Kapur’s massive assets after his death. Karisma and Sunjay’s two children—Samaira and Kiaan—accuse stepmother Priya, Sunjay’s third wife, of forging his will to grab total control of the property. Priya denies the charges, calling them “bogus” and defending the will’s validity. During Sunjay and Karisma’s divorce proceedings, the couple settled all disputes out of court.
Priya’s key arguments
Priya Kapur claims she is now a legal heir after Sunjay’s death and has a direct interest in his estate matters. She argues the documents are needed for official use in the ongoing Delhi High Court succession case. “The document is required to be produced for official use in connection with the pending succession matter before the Delhi High Court,” her plea states. Priya appeared through Senior Advocate Maninder Singh with advocate Smriti Asmita; the application was filed via advocate Vagisha Kochar.
Divorce history recap
Sunjay Kapur filed the transfer petition in 2016 to move the divorce case from Mumbai to Delhi. The parties reached an amicable settlement during its pendency, finalising their split that year. The high-stakes dispute now ties into Sunjay’s inheritance, with Priya pushing for transparency on past financial and custody arrangements. This Supreme Court twist could reshape the billion-rupee family feud.
