Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have raised serious concerns over the authenticity of their late father Sunjay Kapur’s will, claiming it contains glaring errors and may have been forged to disinherit them. The matter is currently being heard in the Delhi High Court, with the next hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
Alleged discrepancies in the will
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Samaira, 20, and Kiaan, 15, argued that the will was “fabricated” and riddled with mistakes that Sunjay Kapur, known for his meticulous nature, would never have made.
“The address of his daughter is mentioned wrongly. Sunjay Kapur knew her correct address. This is the office address of Karisma Kapoor. How can he have written his daughter’s address wrong and misspelled his son’s name multiple times? Such blunders demean the late Sunjay Kapur,” Jethmalani told the court.
The lawyer also pointed out that the will lacked essential details about Sunjay Kapur’s assets, including jewellery, properties, and crypto holdings. He alleged that the will was prepared by a single beneficiary to prevent challenges and suggested that Priya Sachdev, Sunjay’s second wife, could be responsible.
Circumstantial evidence and family claims
Jethmalani emphasised that Sunjay Kapur was in good health before his sudden demise and had secured his Indian assets under a trust. He claimed that phone conversations and other circumstantial evidence contradicted the contents of the will, raising further suspicion of forgery.
“This can only be done by the beneficiary of the will, to prevent any challenges. Only one person was given the benefits,” Jethmalani said.
Background of the estate dispute
Sunjay Kapur, chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading auto parts manufacturer, passed away in June 2025 in London after suffering a heart attack while playing polo. He had been married to Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016, and the couple had two children together. Sunjay married Priya Sachdev in 2017.
Following his death, Samaira and Kiaan filed a lawsuit against Priya, alleging that she had excluded them from their father’s estate by presenting a forged will. Priya, in turn, moved the court seeking permission to disclose her late husband’s assets in a sealed cover to maintain confidentiality.
The Delhi High Court initially questioned Priya’s request, noting that the children have the right to scrutinise the will. However, the court later allowed her to submit the details in a sealed cover, with copies provided to the petitioners.
Next steps in the case
The matter is ongoing, and the next hearing in the Delhi High Court is scheduled for Tuesday. Observers expect further arguments over the authenticity of the will, asset disclosure, and the alleged exclusion of Sunjay Kapur’s children from his estate.
The case has attracted significant media attention, given the Kapoor family’s prominence and the high-profile nature of Sunjay Kapur’s business interests.
