Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000 crore estate case has been getting uglier with each passing date. During the hearing in Delhi High Court on Wednesday (October 15), Sunjay Kapur’s widow, Priya, told the judge

Karisma Kapoor’s Children vs Priya Kapur

Rajiv Nayyar, who is representing Priya Kapur, told Justice Jyoti Singh that Sunjay’s March 21, 2025 will, which allegedly leaves his entire personal assets to his widow Priya, was genuine and that the allegations made by Karisma Kapoor’s kids Samaira (20) and Kiaan (15) about the forging of it are wrong and baseless. Priya’s lawyer told the court, “If the will is forged, will I spell my own son’s name wrong?” Nayyar also mentioned that no one has challenged the authenticity of Sunjay Kapur’s signature on the will. He said, “The only grounds of challenge to a will are if the deceased was not in a sound mind or that he was under some coercion or inability to execute the will. Now I am being told that there are four additional grounds, like wrong spelling, wrong address, errors like writing testatrix instead of 'testator', and closeness of witnesses. Is a will to be invalidated because there are spelling errors?” "It’s a fit case to turn down the plaint. The claim is bereft of cause—they never challenged the will... “Such litigation should be nipped in the bud. It's a bogus challenge; they knew about the will prior to the filing of the suit,” the lawyer added, stating the fact that the will was produced seven weeks before Sunjay’s death.Also Read : Priya Sachdev Remembers Husband Sunjay Kapur On Birth Anniversary Amid Inheritance Battle With Karisma's Children “Is the discovery of the will after seven weeks a ground to challenge the will? Is that a challenge maintainable under the law? Suppose I kept the will in my pocket, and it surfaces at an appropriate time, will it be declared invalid?” Rajiv Nayyar added. Nayyar also explained that Sunjay didn’t provide for the children in the will because he provided for them in the trust. He also revealed that there were two witnesses to the will, who were a chartered accountant and a CS working in the company. He also produced the affidavits of the two witnesses as well. For the unversed, Karisma Kapoor’s representative Mahesh Jethmalani, on Tuesday (October 14) had pointed out that there were many inconsistencies and a lack of testimony from any of the three individuals involved in its preparation. He feels they can’t rely on it. Let us tell you, Sunjay Kapur died on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England. Stay tuned for more updates!
