Karisma Kapoor made a rare appearance on Thursday night amid the ongoing inheritance battle between her children and her former husband Sunjay Kapur’s widow, Priya Sachdev. The Bollywood actress was spotted
by the paparazzi as she arrived for a Navratri celebration event in Mumbai.
In a video that surfaced on social media, Karisma Kapoor was seen arriving at the venue. She sported a yellow saree and accessorised it with golden jewellery. The actress was all smiles as she posed for the shutterbugs and also waved at some of her fans. Watch the video here:
Karisma Kapoor married Sunjay Kapur in September 2003. The couple became parents to their daughter, Samaira, in 2005 and their son, Kiaan, in 2011. However, they parted ways in 2016. Kapur passed away in June 2025.
While Karisma is not directly involved in the legal battle of her former husband’s inheritance drama, she is representing her children, Samaira and Kiaan. The two moved to the Delhi High Court recently to demand a share in the assets of their late father. In their petition, the two children claimed that their stepmother, Priya Sachdev, forged Sunjay’s will. They submitted that the purported will allegedly executed by their father is not a legal and valid document, is forged and fabricated.
They argued that it is because of this reason that neither the original of the Alleged Purported Will has been shown to them nor a copy of the Alleged Purported Will has been provided. The children, therefore, previously requested the court to provide them with a copy of the said document.
What’s Happening In Court?
In the most recent hearing, the Delhi High Court questioned Priya Sachdev’s urge to file the list of his assets under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and in a sealed cover. The court, on Thursday, stressed the importance of transparency in inheritance disputes, especially when other heirs have a legitimate claim. Justice Jyoti Singh heard the matter but expressed apprehensions about whether such an order can be passed as it may “create some problems”.
“It may be problematic for the simple reason that as the alleged beneficiary of the estate, they [Karisma Kapur’s children] have a right to question the assets disclosed…So, tomorrow, if they have to verify and go about asking what has happened, if they are bound with this confidentiality club, how will they ever defend their case?” the Court asked.
The court also expressed concern that listing his assets under a confidential NDA could prevent Samaira and Kiaan from fully examining or challenging the disclosures, potentially impacting their legal rights.
“How will you all file a written reply to the suit and argue cases if everything is in sealed cover? Tomorrow you will file a written statement and attach the will to it. How will they file their replies in the court,” Justice Singh added.
