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.
The court argument 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. Amid the chaos, in an interview recently with Vickey Lalwani, Sunjay Kapur’s sister Mandhira extended her support to Karisma Kapoor and slammed his second wife Priya Sachdev.
What Mandhira Kapur said
“Yes, she used to message him constantly when he was with Lolo and I know this for a fact. It is as simple as men are men. He was in a marriage, working on it, trying to fix it. He was not in a most stable place to say, ‘Hey, I’m not interested.”
But you, as a woman, when someone has had a child and another child, you have also just gotten divorced. You know how painful it is when you are with a child. How and why would you come and break another family? What kind of upbringing is this?"
Mandhira Kapur continued, “Are we saying today in society that it is okay? If anything, you should have stayed away, knowing that these people are working on their marriage and they have two children. You have been divorced. You have a child. You know what it is to be a single mother. Then why would you come and do this to this family?”
‘My sister and I didn’t go for the wedding’
Mandhira also said, “My sister and I didn’t even go for the wedding. We were very clear that we could not support it because Dad had said, ‘Do not get married and do not have kids.”
