Earlier this month, Karisma Kapoor’s children, who are currently engaged in a legal dispute with their stepmother Priya Sachdev Kapur over the estate of their late father Sunjay Kapur, submitted a new petition to the Delhi High Court questioning the legitimacy of Sunjay’s will. On Friday, Priya Kapur’s minor son filed an objection in the Delhi High Court to the plea submitted by Karisma Kapoor’s children, who have questioned the validity of their father Sunjay Kapur’s alleged will. He argued that their challenge rests solely on "speculation and guesswork," lacking any solid basis.
According to PTI, senior advocate Akhil Sibal, representing Priya's son, submitted before Justice Jyoti Singh, "This entire case is based on speculation and guesswork. Their case is that on July 30, the executor reads it out hurriedly, slashes a document, and reads it out selectively. At that point, they admittedly know three things -- date, witnesses, and that they are excluded."
Akhil Sibal further stated that following the July 30 meeting, Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira Kapur and her younger brother, did not make any request for a copy of the will.
It further added, "In between, the mother (Karisma Kapoor) of the plaintiffs readily communicates with defendant 1 (Priya Kapur) to get all the paperwork finished. She is asking for the documents, and defendant 1 is cooperating. They don't get the copy of the will as they refused to sign the confidentiality agreement. They are excluded, and they know the legal strategy is to challenge the will, whether the will is genuine or not, they must challenge… But they knew they were excluded, so they had to challenge it (will) come what may."

A day earlier, Priya Kapur’s representative told the Delhi High Court that it is a "healthy tradition" for a husband to leave his assets to his wife, as Priya continues to fight a high-profile legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s estate. The case was filed by Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan—represented by their mother as legal guardian—who, along with Sunjay’s mother and sister, have questioned the validity of his will. Sunjay, the chairman of auto parts giant Sona Comstar, passed away in June while playing a polo match in London. He was married to Karisma from 2003 to 2016, sharing two children with her and later married Priya in 2017.
