Karisma Kapoor's kids make big charge in father Sunjay Kapur's estate battle: 'Nothing is left in...'

The ugly battle over Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000-crore estate between his mother Rani Kapur, ex-wife Karisma Kapoor and children Kiaan and Samaira and Priya Kapur (Sunjay’s wife) has been grabbing the headlines for quite some time now.

Now, the court argument has intensified with the latest being the Delhi High Court hearing over a plea by Priya Sachdev, as she filed a plea in court seeking to disclose details of her late husband’s estate in a sealed cover.

After hearing the argument over a plea, Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur’s counsel, alleged that “banks have been wiped off, there is nothing left in the bank account”, a LiveLaw report said.

Delhi High Court noticed that accepting Priya’s plea would be “problematic”. Allowing the application may be “problematic for the simple reason that as the alleged beneficiary of the estate, they [Karisma Kapoor’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,” Bar and Bench quoted Justice Jyoti Singh as saying.

“There are bank details, other financial details. Why should the public have someone’s bank account number?” argued Priya’s counsel, saying that it was a matter of security.

Karisma’s kids are seeking one-fifth share each in Sunjay’s Rs 30,000 crore estate. They also claimed that their father never mentioned the will, and the current will was never registered.

The assests are currently controlled by Priya while Kiaan and Samaira have no access to them. Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya Kapur, shared that the plaintiffs are already trust beneficiaries and were given ₹1,900 crore just days before filing the case. “It’s not as if these people are left on the streets. I am a widow with a six-year-old child. For 15 years, they were nowhere to be seen,” he said.
