During the latest hearing in late industrialist Sunjay Kapur`s inheritance case, his wife Priya Kapur told the Delhi High Court that it was a “healthy tradition” for a husband to give all his assets to his wife. She further refuted the claims of actor Karisma Kapoor`s kids with Sunjay that their father`s alleged will has surfaced under suspicious circumstances.
Priya Kapur says its not suspicious
Priya Kapur`s counsel claimed the same was the case of her father-in-law and Sunjay`s father, who gave everything to his wife, Rani Kapur, in his `will`. Her counsel, senior advocate Rajiv Nayar submitted before Justice Jyoti Singh, “There is nothing suspicious about a husband giving everything in his assets to his wife. As is the case in my father-in-law`s `will` where everything was given to his wife. It is a healthy tradition which perhaps has been maintained.”
During the hearing, Advocate Nayar also claimed that on February 10, 2025, a printout of the will was shown to Sunjay Kapur, who then suggested some changes which were made to the draft. The last set of modifications to the draft were made on March 17, 2025, adding that the modification was done while Sunjay was in Goa.
He added that Priya Kapur`s will and that of Sunjay`s were made together on the same day, which is customary for a husband and wife. The counsel said this is not a case of disinheritance because Priya Kapur`s case is that both the plaintiffs have received a beneficial interest of Rs 2,000 crore under the family trust.
About the legal battle
The court is also hearing arguments on an interim injunction application filed by Karisma Kapoor`s children to restrain Priya Kapur from alienating Sunjay Kapur`s assets. The children have questioned the authenticity of the purported will.
Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England. He reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.
The court, which was hearing the suit of Karisma Kapoor`s children, Samaira Kapur and her brother, challenging their late father Sunjay Kapur`s purported will of his assets, has now listed the matter for Friday for further arguments.
