Late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s sister, Mandhira Kapur, has strongly pushed back against claims made by Priya Sachdev Kapur amid the ongoing family dispute over the Kapur estate. Responding to Priya’s recent statement in court that their mother, Rani Kapur, continues to receive over Rs 21 lakh per month from the company along with her personal expenses being fully covered, Mandhira dismissed the assertion as misleading. She instead alleged that it is Priya who is drawing several crores every month.
Mandhira addressed the controversy during her appearance on the InControversial podcast, where she spoke in detail about the financial arrangements and shed light on the simmering family feud, offering her perspective on the estate dispute and the conflicting claims surrounding it.
Mandhira said, "There is a difference between blood and an outsider. When my father was alive, my mother was getting much more than what she did even when my brother was alive and that's the truth. Unfortunately she never checked what she was getting... Now, we are checking on whatever is going on. It is shameful that she is only getting Rs12 lakh. It was Rs 21 lakh but after tax and other deductions, she used to get Rs 3 lakh which has now dropped to Rs 12 lakh."
She further added, "But the outsider is getting close to I would think Rs 3 to Rs 5 crore every month. Because she is getting Rs 1 crore from just one company and she has taken over everything. She is getting Rs 5 crore, and the creator of the company is getting Rs 12 lakh."
"She (Priya) is not doing any favour to anyone. It is coming from the company. She thinks she is looking after my mother? I think she needs to have a reality check and rephrase that. It (the company) is still with my mother as my father will always be associated with Sona not Sachdev's not matter how much they try and want, but that is not going to happen. She is not the face of the family or the company. She shouldn't even be around," said Mandhira.
Industrialist Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, after collapsing while playing polo in London, and was cremated on June 19 in South Delhi in the presence of close family. The former chairman of Sona Comstar, Kapur was previously married to actor Karisma Kapoor, with whom he shares two children, Samaira and Kiaan, and later married Priya Sachdev, with whom he has a son, Azarias. He also had a stepdaughter, Safira, from Priya’s earlier marriage and his estate is currently at the centre of legal disputes involving his children.
