The sudden death of 53-year-old business tycoon Sunjay Kapur due to cardiac arrest in June this year left India shocked. In a fresh development in the high-stakes battle over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur's approximately Rs 30,000 crore estate, his two children from his marriage with Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor have approached the Delhi High Court seeking their rightful share.
Karisma Kapoor’s kids move HC
Karisma’s kids, Kiaan and Samaira have filed a civil suit alleging that their stepmother, Priya Kapur (the third wife of Sunjay Kapur), has attempted to forge their father's will to gain complete control over his assets. The children, represented through their mother as legal guardian, have sought partition of the estate, rendition of accounts, and a permanent injunction against the defendants.
According to the plaint, the children contend that they do not have complete information about their father's assets at the time of his death. They have attached a schedule of known properties but accused Defendant No. 1 (Priya Kapur) of concealing details and failing to disclose the full extent of assets. The plaint, which is likely to come up for hearing on September 10, challenges Kapur's will.

The plaintiffs argue that until their father's sudden demise on June 12, 2025 while playing polo in Windsor, UK, they shared a close relationship with him, including frequent travels, holidays, and regular involvement in his business and personal milestones.
Accusations against Priya Kapur
The plaintiffs in the case have accused Priya Kapur of initially denying the existence of any will and asserting that all of Sunjay Kapur's assets were held under the R.K. Family Trust. However, they claim she later presented a document dated March 21, 2025, which she described as a will, prompting suspicions of forgery and manipulation.
According to the children, their late father had repeatedly assured them of their financial security and future well-being. They claim he had initiated business ventures in their names, acquired assets both personally and through corporate entities, and named them as beneficiaries of the family trust.
About Sunjay Kapur’s death
Following Sunjay Kapur's death, the children performed his final rites, with the son lighting the funeral pyre at Lodhi Cremation Ground on June 19. Tensions escalated soon after, as Priya Kapur allegedly began limiting their access to trust-related documents and financial assets.
