Karisma\u2019s children, Samaira and Kiaan, recently filed a civil suit in the Delhi High Court, alleging that their stepmother, Priya Sachdev Kapur, attempted to manipulate their father\u2019s will. The dispute centers on an estate valued at an estimated Rs 30,000 crore.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>Sunjay Kapur\u2019s sister voices support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">In a notable development, Mandhira Kapur Smith, Sunjay Kapur\u2019s sister, publicly expressed her support for Karisma Kapoor\u2019s children. Speaking to ANI, she said, \u201cI\u2019m very happy about it because finally the family will know something and have some knowledge about anything really. I believe in the justice system in India, so I\u2019m hoping it will bring more clarity, more visibility and transparency to everything.&#8221; Her comments underline the high stakes involved in this estate dispute and bring additional attention to the legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>Backing the children\u2019s claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Mandhira went further, affirming her trust in Samaira and Kiaan\u2019s actions, stating, \u201cI stand by them because I do not think that if anyone knows the relationship they have had with their father and for their father not to have them a part of the will, it just doesn\u2019t add up. Doesn\u2019t make sense. So I stand by them.&#8221; Her remarks could influence public perception as the case progresses, highlighting the children\u2019s legal and moral claim to the estate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Meanwhile, the court has directed Priya Kapur to disclose all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay Kapur as of June 12, 2025. Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya, has countered the lawsuit, arguing it is not maintainable. The legal battle is expected to continue for months, drawing attention from both the media and the public.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married in a high-profile wedding in Mumbai in 2003 and had two children together. They divorced by mutual consent in 2016, and Sunjay later married Priya Sachdev in 2017. Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, reportedly due to a heart attack during a polo match in England, though reports of a bee incident at the scene remain unverified.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shrishti-negi-14989.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shrishti Negi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shrishti Negi is a journalist with over eight years of experience in the media industry.
