Sunjay Kapur Part of Conspiracy to Exclude Family from Will, Alleges Sister Mandhira
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing legal battle over business tycoon Sunjay Kapur's estate, his sister Mandhira Kapur has made startling new allegations. She claims that Sunjay Kapur himself was part of a conspiracy to exclude his mother Rani Kapur and his children with actor Karisma Kapoor from his will.
Fresh Allegations Surface Seven Months After Death
It has been over seven months since Sunjay Kapur's untimely death on June 12, 2025, but the family's court fight shows no signs of abating. What began as a dispute over the distribution of his estimated Rs 30,000 crore estate has now evolved into a complex legal drama with accusations flying in multiple directions.
Mandhira Kapur, who previously accused Sunjay's third wife Priya Sachdev of manipulating the will, has now turned her attention to her late brother. "We have to talk about the reality of what has happened," Mandhira told Republic TV. "It is unfortunate that this is the truth we are discovering now, but it needs to be called out."
Family Inheritance Plans Allegedly Subverted
According to Mandhira, their father's entire estate was originally intended to pass to their mother Rani Kapur, with subsequent division among the three siblings and seven grandchildren. "My father's entire estate was meant to go to my mother and be divided later," she explained. "It was supposed to be shared among the three siblings and seven grandchildren."
The sister expressed her distress at the emerging revelations: "A lot is coming to light, and it is painful to admit that my brother was part of this conspiracy. We need to understand the how, why, where, and what. That process is ongoing."
Justice for Mother Remains Primary Motivation
Mandhira emphasized that her sole motivation for continuing the legal battle is to secure justice for her mother. "We are fighting to get my father's estate back for my mother, who has been completely cut out," she stated. "Sadly, my brother was involved. Since he is no longer here to answer our questions, we are left searching for answers."
She added a poignant reflection on her brother's character: "What he did is not in his character, especially when it comes to his own mother and children. We need closure."
Concerns for Karisma Kapoor's Children
The inheritance rights of Sunjay Kapur's children with actor Karisma Kapoor have become a central concern in the dispute. Mandhira expressed particular worry about their situation: "We want to make sure the grandchildren receive what our father intended for them. Right now, none of the grandchildren, including my brother's children, have received anything."
She continued: "There is much more that rightfully belongs to them, and we want to ensure their future is secure."
Karisma Kapoor's Position in the Matter
Addressing Karisma Kapoor's role, Mandhira acknowledged the actor's maternal concerns: "Like any mother, Karisma wants to ensure her children's security. They have already suffered a huge loss. She has been a strong support system for her kids and is focused on their well-being."
Defamation Case and Legal Counterattacks
The legal battle has grown increasingly contentious, with Priya Sachdev filing a defamation case against both Mandhira and Rani Kapur. Responding to this development, Mandhira remained defiant: "No one can walk away with our legacy. We will reclaim it. She may not like what is being said, but I can't help it if it is the truth and it is being raised in court, it cannot be ignored."
Background of the Estate Dispute
The controversy erupted after Sunjay Kapur's will reportedly excluded both his mother Rani Kapur and his children with Karisma Kapoor from inheriting any portion of his substantial estate. This exclusion prompted Mandhira Kapur and Rani Kapur to challenge the will's validity in court, setting the stage for the ongoing legal confrontation.
The case continues to unfold in New Delhi courts, with multiple legal proceedings running concurrently. As the family navigates this painful chapter, the revelations about Sunjay Kapur's alleged involvement add another layer of complexity to an already emotionally charged situation.
