The controversy centers on a three-way tug-of-war between Sunjay’s widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, his children with Karisma (Samaira and Kiaan), and his mother, Rani Kapur.
The "Forged Will" Allegation
The internet was set ablaze following a Delhi High Court hearing where Karisma’s children made a staggering claim. They allege that the will presented by Priya Kapur, which reportedly leaves the entire estate to her, is a "manifestly forged" document.
The Forensic Turn: On February 28, 2026, the court ordered a forensic and handwriting analysis of the will. The children's legal team argued the document was a typed file modified in March 2025 while Sunjay was on holiday, lacking any of his digital footprints.
The Isolation of Priya: In a significant development, every other stakeholder—including Sunjay’s own mother—sided with the children in demanding independent scientific scrutiny of the document.
The Viral "Asset Hiding" Claims
Public interest peaked when Samaira and Kiaan accused their stepmother of "deliberate concealment" of high-value assets.
Missing Luxury Items: The children alleged that the asset list submitted to the court omitted expensive polo horses, luxury wristwatches (including Rolex and Audemars Piguet), and valuable artwork.
Property Discrepancies: They also pointed out major gaps in the list of immovable properties across Delhi, Mumbai, and London compared to the records held by their grandmother.
The "RK Family Trust" Feud (April 2026)
The most recent viral update, dated April 7, 2026, involves a public "cease-and-desist" notice.
The Trustee Battle: Rani Kapur (Sunjay’s mother) issued a notice to Priya Sachdev Kapur, declaring that Priya no longer holds the position of trustee as of April 6.
Legitimacy Challenged: Rani Kapur has approached the Delhi High Court seeking to cancel the trust entirely, describing it as an attempt to divest her of her son's estate.
Defamation and Public Restraint
As the legal battle spilled into social media and press statements, the Delhi High Court intervened to maintain decorum.
The Gag Order: The court has directed Priya Kapur and Sunjay’s sister, Mandhira Kapur Smith, to refrain from making further public statements against each other as they navigate parallel defamation proceedings.
SantaBanta Verdict:
This is no longer just a legal dispute; it has become a defining case of 2026 regarding inheritance and corporate legacy. While Karisma Kapoor herself has maintained a dignified silence, the "relentless campaign" by her children has earned them significant praise from social media users who are tracking the forensic results with bated breath.
