# Bollywood's Billion-Rupee Battle: Karisma Kapoor Slams Priya Kapur's Supreme Court Plea as 'Frivolous' **Is a decade-old divorce file the key to unlocking a ₹30,000 crore empire?** The Kapoor family drama has escalated to India's top court, pitting Bollywood star **Karisma Kapoor** against her late ex-husband's widow, **Priya Sachdev Kapur**, in a high-stakes inheritance war.[1][2] Sunjay Kapur, industrialist and Karisma's ex-husband, passed away in June 2025, leaving behind a massive **₹30,000 crore estate** that's now at the center of fierce legal tussles.[1][7] Karisma and Sunjay, married in 2003 and divorced amicably in 2016 after settling custody of their children Samaira (20) and Kiaan (15), thought that chapter was closed.[4][6] But Priya, who married Sunjay in 2017, has reignited it by filing a plea in the **Supreme Court** for certified copies of their 2016 divorce records—including financial and custody details—from a transfer petition (Civil No. 214 of 2016).[3][8] Priya argues she's Sunjay's legal heir and needs these "confidential" documents for ongoing **Delhi High Court succession proceedings**, where Karisma's kids allege Priya forged Sunjay's March 2025 will that leaves everything to her.[1][2][3] They've even challenged her electronic evidence, claiming location data places her in Delhi—not Gurugram—on the will's signing day.[1] Karisma's lawyers, Ravi Sharma and Apoorv Shukla, fired back hard during a closed-chamber hearing before Justice A.S. Chandurkar, calling the plea **"frivolous," "not maintainable," and a blatant bid to dig into private family matters**.[2][5][6] They note Priya already has the consent terms and divorce decree from Delhi High Court filings against the children.[6][7] The Supreme Court has issued notice to Karisma, seeking her formal reply within two weeks, with the next hearing pending.[3][4][9]
