Karisma Kapoor’s children-Samaira and Kiaan, have approached to court to seek a share in their late father Sunjay Kapur’s personal assets. They also made some serious allegations against Kapur’s third wife, Priya Sachdev, saying that she had forged Sunjay’s will. The matter is currently in court. Amid the legal battle, Samaira and Kiaan remembered Kapur on his birth anniversary on October 15. Karisma posted a photo of a cake on her Instagram stories with a message written on it, ‘Happy Birthday Dad.’ The actress captioned it with a white heart emoji.

Karisma Kapoor’s sister Kareena Kapoor reshared the image on her Instagram stories and wrote, “My Sam and Kiu, dad is protecting you always and forever (with red heart emoji)”.

Sunjay Kapur, who was an industrialist, passed away in June this year. The Delhi High Court heard the detailed submission on the asset battle case from Priya Kapur’s lawyer, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar. Justice Jyoti Singh looked into the matter, where Priya opposed the suit filed by Karisma’s children, asserting that there is no valid challenge to the will of the industralist (dated March 21, 2025) under which assets were bequeathed. Nayar argued that the challenge that the entire plaint is bereft of any cause of action. There is no challenge to this Will. He pointed out that the suit was filed on September 9 without any given any reference to the will. The documents were only shared on 15th of last month. The advocate said, “Even after that, there was no amendment to the plaint or any replication challenging the will.”

While questioning the maintainability of the case, Advocate Rajiv Nayar said, “I ask myself in which proceeding are we putting the Will to issue? This is not a probate proceeding. You have not challenged the execution or validity of the Will in the pleadings. There is no declaration sought for cancelling it.” He accused the plaintiffs of raising a ‘non-existent and bogus challenge’.

Nayar alleged discrepancies cited by the plaintiffs. He added, “I am told that there are four additional grounds to invalidate a will -- wrong spelling, wrong address, writing testatrix instead of testator, and the closeness of witnesses. In my 45 years of experience, I have never seen a Will invalidated for spelling errors. Forgery has to be complete no mistakes would be left. And this lady (Priya Kapur) is not a housewife; she is an investment banker. Would she spell her son's name wrong?” He further argued that minor errors could not invalidate a validly executed will. He also said, “A will is not judged by whose custody it remained in or when it surfaced, but by whether it bears genuine signatures and proper attestation.”

Nayar also countered the plaintiffs’ emotional arguments and remarked, “This is wife versus wife obviously, the current wife would be preferred, not the estranged one.”
