News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 11th September 2025

In the midst of the contentious legal dispute over Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000 crore inheritance, parts of actress Karisma Kapoor’s previous relationship with the late billionaire have surfaced once more. The performer, nevertheless, is putting her career first and removing herself from the commotion. With his children Samaira and Kiaan from his marriage to Karisma accusing Sunjay’s widow and third wife Priya Sachdev of falsifying his will and keeping them out of the inheritance, the battle over Sunjay’s enormous ₹30,000 crore wealth has intensified. The Delhi High Court heard Samaira and Kiaan’s plea on Wednesday, in which a number of claims and charges were made. Although she is defending her children, Karisma is not a plaintiff in this case.
Amid all the chatter, we have heard Karisma is focusing on her work. “At the moment, Karisma is in Mumbai and totally focused on her work. She is not letting the controversy surrounding her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s estate impact her professional life,” says a source.
The insider continues, “Karisma is fulfilling her professional commitment as usual. She is shooting for several projects. She was recently seen in Super Dancer Chapter 5 as a special guest, and even travelled for an event. And she intends to continue to do that. Because the show must go on.”
Karisma and Sunjay Kapur were wed from 2003 to 2016. Kiaan and Samaira, their children, were born in 2011 and 2005, respectively. In 2017, Sunjay wed Priya Sachdev following a harsh divorce from Karisma. The businessman passed away in London in June following a rumored heart attack. He was the founder and chairman of the automaker Sona Comstar. His estate is reportedly valued at ₹30000 crore.
Samaira Kapur (20) and Kiaan Raj Kapur (15), Karisma’s children, have petitioned the Delhi High Court for a portion of their late father’s fortune. They contended in their plea that their late father had “repeatedly assured” them of their portion, which was ultimately left out of his last will and testament. They claim that Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay’s third wife and their stepmother, changed the will. At a family gathering on July 30, Priya produced a will that was purportedly executed on March 21. She also requested an injunction to prevent the transfer or disposal of the property, which prompted the filing of the lawsuit.
Through her attorney Rajiv Nayyar, Priya accused Karisma of abruptly entering their lives following Sunjay’s death after being absent from them for the previous 15 years. The fact that Priya was Sunjay’s legally wedded wife was emphasized by her legal team.
I am his legal wife. The claims of love and affection – where was all this when they fought prolonged divorce legal battles in the Supreme Court,” Rajiv said.
The lawyer added, “Your husband left you several years ago.” He was referring to Karisma and Sunjay’s messy divorce in 2016, which saw allegations around domestic abuse as well as substance abuse. Another report claimed that Sunjay was helping his former wife and actor Karisma Kapoor and their kids get Portuguese citizenship.
Justice Jyoti Singh directed Priya to file her replies to the plaint and posted the matter for further hearing on October 9. The Court has asked Priya to submit a list of all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay
