 "Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira stands by Karisma Kapoor amid Rs 30,000 inheritance battle")
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 second wife Priya Sachdev over his inheritance of property worth Rs 30,000 crore.
Sunjay Kapur’s sister Mandhira stands by Karisma Kapoor
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.”
What began as a private inheritance dispute has erupted into a courtroom drama, with lawyers for Kapur’s children from his second marriage — Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, whose mother is Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor — alleging a deliberate digital manipulation of files, secret WhatsApp groups, and a forged signature trail. The outcome could redefine not just the balance of one family’s fortune but the boundaries of digital evidence in India’s inheritance law.
Mandhira’s quote on Sunjay Kapur’s relationship with his children and the authenticity of the Will - from her podcast - My brother Sunjay was a very particular human being. There is no way that he would make a mistake in his son’s spelling, he doesnt know his kids’ home address, and would not sign the Will which refers to Sunjay as a “her” using female pronouns. It’s not possible. ”
“A will born on another man’s computer”
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the two children, told the bench that the contested will “was not the product of the deceased’s hand or mind” but a “manufactured document” created and edited on another man’s computer.
