 "Late businessman Sunjay Kapur's mother slams his wife Priya Sachdev for concealing his net-worth: 'Just his salary was Rs 60 crore...'")
Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor and businessman Sunjay Kapur got married in September 2003. They went through a lot of ups and downs before they got divorced 11 years later. The actress’s father and veteran actor Randhir Kapoor also blasted the late businessman in an interview long back.
The businessman passed away earlier this year in June after he had a heart attack due to accidentally swallowing a bee. For the last many months, there has been a battle between the actress’s children and the businessman’s third wife Priya Sachdev over his inheritance of property worth Rs 30,000 crore.

As the legal battle has been intensifying, the late businessman’s mother Rani Kapur has made shocking allegations against Sachdev that she concealed the truth about her son’s net-worth.
Senior Advocate Vaibhav Gagga, representing Rani Kapur, argued, “Massive concealment. This house (farmhouse in Delhi’s Rajokri area) is built by my late husband. There are more than 50 pieces of artwork there…”
The advocate added, “This gentleman (Sunjay Kapur) had no life insurance, no rental income, and mutual funds? Just his salary was ₹60 crore, and we are saying that he has only ₹1.7 crore in his accounts.”
He continued, “My Lady may seek details of 2 years, not just of Mr Kapur but also of Defendant No 1 (Priya Kapur) because the money has moved. Any interim order must be in the nature of status quo ante because the money has moved across borders, potentially.”

A source was quoted saying, “Karisma has been extremely dignified throughout. She isn’t engaging in any public back-and-forth. Her stance is that everything should be verified legally so that the children aren’t impacted by internal disputes.”
It added, “Despite everything Karisma has weathered over the years — a very public divorce, raising two children as a hands-on single mother and and constant scrutiny, she continues to handle this current situation with remarkable dignity. She refuses to let adversity take away her grace.”
