Karisma Kapoor's Children Move Delhi High Court Seeking Share In Assets Of Late Father Sunjay Kapur

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor's children have filed a suit before the Delhi High Court seeking share in the personal assets of their late father Sunjay Kapur.

Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12.

The suit has been filed by Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur against their father's second wife Priya Kapur and their son as well as his mother Rani Kapur and Shradha Suri Marwah- purported executor of a will dated March 21, 2025.

The plea has been filed through Advocates Shantanu Agarwal & Manas Arora.

In the suit, Karisma Kapoor's children have said that even after their parents' divorce, their father continued to provide them with complete love and affection and that in recent trips, the entire family, including the actress mother as well as the second wife of Kapur were present.

The suit states that after Kapur's demise, his second wife, on her own, informed Karisma Kapoor and her children that there was no will left behind and that the R K Family Trust had all the assets in it.

It is the plaintiffs' case that in July, Kapur's second wife and Karisma Kapoor decided to have a meeting along with legal advisors on a convenient date in New Delhi, so that the matter relating to the Trust could be discussed but there was no information given about any Will.

In the meeting held at Taj Mansingh Hotel, the suit states that Marwah briefly flashed a document in actress' hand from a distance and declared that this was the last will of Kapur, in which she was the Executor.

It has been submitted that the manner and speed in which the document was purported to be read, it was difficult for Kapoor to comprehend the effect and terms, unless one saw or read it carefully and examined it legally.

“The entire narrative of the so-called Will is a concocted and fabricated story,” the suit states.

It alleges that witnesses under the “Will” are persons under the employment and influence of Kapur's second wife who work closely with her, under her direction.

“The said two Individuals have wrongly attested that the Deceased executed any Will in their presence, after the death of the Plaintiffs' father for their own personal gain so that the said Two Individuals and the Defendant No. 1 can mutually benefit by acting together,” the suit states.

It is the Plaintiffs' case that the purported will allegedly executed by their father is not a legal and valid document, is forged and fabricated and in any event surrounded by suspicious circumstances.

The suit thus seeks to restrain Kapur's second wife from acting and relying on the purported Will to deny the rights of inheritance vested in Kapoor's children.

It further seeks a preliminary decree for partition in favour of the Plaintiffs to the effect that the they be given 1/5th share each in the assets of their late father.

The children also seek a decree of mandatory injunction directing the Defendants to render full and complete records and accounts in relation to the personal assets and effects of their father upto the date of his demise.

The suit also seeks to restrain the Defendants from alienating, transferring, selling or in any manner creating any third-party interests in any of the personal assets and effects of their father.
