A high-stakes legal drama unfolds in the Kapur family as the battle over industrialist Sunjay Kapur's colossal ₹30,000 crore estate intensifies, revealing a challenging dispute entwined with allegations, foreign assets, and questions of rightful inheritance. The controversy erupted when Sunjay Kapur's children with actress Karisma Kapoor approached the Delhi High Court, accusing Priya Kapur, Sunjay's widow, of forging his will to seize control of his massive assets including properties overseas in the US and UK. Priya Kapur has countered by asserting that the Delhi High Court lacks jurisdiction over these foreign assets, complicating the legal landscape further[2]. This claim underlines the cross-border complexities of inheritance disputes involving multi-jurisdictional properties. Adding to the friction, Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, has taken a strong stance against Priya Kapur, accusing her of making a calculated move to dominate Sunjay's estate immediately after his death rather than mourning him. Rani claims that Sunjay had removed Priya from the board of his companies earlier in 2023, indicating a fallout, and questions the legitimacy of the will that excludes her from any inheritance[1][5]. This familial discord has led to serious allegations of power grabs and forged documents making headlines. Legal representatives from Karisma Kapoor's side have urged the court to intervene by restraining Priya Kapur from misusing the alleged forged will to alienate assets abroad. The court has requested written submissions and scheduled further hearings to scrutinize the claims and evidence closely[2][3]. This disputed will's authenticity and the court's jurisdictional limits remain at the core of this high-profile case. This saga not only highlights the legal intricacies of estate disputes involving foreign assets but also shines a light on the fragile dynamics within prominent families facing unimaginable wealth and loss.
