More about Sunjay’s estate feud
On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court took up a plea filed by Karisma’s two children, Samaira and Kiaan, seeking a share in their late father’s estate, which is estimated at around ₹30,000 crore (Rs 300 billion). The children have accused his widow, Priya Sachdev, of forging his will and excluding them from the inheritance.
Meanwhile, Priya’s legal team has claimed that the siblings have already been given Rs 19 billion worth of assets from Sunjay’s will. During the court hearing on Wednesday, Priya, through her legal team, claimed that the suit was not maintainable.
Priya is Sunjay's third wife, whom he married in 2017. The couple shared a son. Karisma and Sunjay were married from 2003 to 2016. Their two kids were born in 2005 and 2011.
Justice Jyoti Singh directed Priya to file her replies to the plaint and posted the matter for further hearing on October 9. The Court has asked Priya to submit a list of all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay.
Meanwhile, Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, too has accused Priya of leaving her out of the family wealth. His mother informed the Delhi High Court about the losses she suffered due to the formation of the RK Family Trust, which is now controlled by Priya Kapur.
Sunjay died on June 12 during a polo match in England. It was later claimed that he died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England.
