Imagine losing a loved one, only to be thrust into a bitter legal battle over their legacy. That’s the harsh reality for Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, who are now at the center of a contentious fight over their late father Sunjay Kapur’s staggering Rs 30,000 crore estate. Sunjay Kapur, Karisma’s ex-husband, passed away in June this year, reportedly from a heart attack triggered by swallowing a bee. His unexpected death left his family grieving, but the discovery of his will has since ignited a fiery dispute between his widow, Priya Sachdev, and his children from his previous marriage.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Karisma’s children have filed a court plea accusing Priya of forging their father’s will. As the case unfolds in court, emotions are running high. Amidst the turmoil, Sunjay’s birthday on October 15 became a poignant moment for reflection. Priya shared an emotional video tribute, expressing her grief, while Karisma quietly posted a photo of a cake late that night, inscribed with ‘Happy birthday dad.’ Kareena Kapoor Khan, ever the supportive sister, reshared the photo with a heartfelt message: ‘My Sam and Kiu, dad is protecting you always and forever.’ Kareena has been a pillar of strength for her sister and the children, even accompanying them to Sunjay’s funeral alongside Saif Ali Khan.
And this is the part most people miss: The legal battle has taken a dramatic turn, with senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani pointing out glaring inconsistencies in the alleged will. He highlighted repeated grammatical errors and the use of feminine pronouns like ‘she’ and ‘her,’ which seem out of character for Sunjay. Jethmalani questioned, ‘How could Sunjay, a meticulous man, sign a document referring to himself as ‘the testatrix’—a female term?’ He argued that such oversights are inexplicable unless Sunjay was incapable of understanding the document. ‘It’s absurd,’ Jethmalani stated, ‘and it raises serious questions about the will’s authenticity.’
The advocate further emphasized the lack of physical evidence supporting the will. ‘There’s no handwriting, no photographs, and only questionable oral testimony,’ he noted. ‘Even the witnesses haven’t filed detailed affidavits yet.’ This absence of concrete proof has fueled skepticism, leaving many to wonder: Was Sunjay truly aware of what he was signing, or is this a case of manipulation?
Here’s the thought-provoking question: In a world where wealth and family dynamics often collide, how far will people go to claim what they believe is theirs? And more importantly, does the alleged forgery of Sunjay’s will reflect a deeper issue of trust and integrity within high-stakes legal battles?
