Amid Estate Dispute, Sunjay Kapur’s Mother Says She Remains in Touch With Karisma Kapoor’s Children
Rani Kapur, the mother of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, has spoken about her continuing relationship with her grandchildren amid the ongoing legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s multibillion-dollar estate.
Staying Close to Her Grandchildren
In an interview with ANI, Rani Kapur discussed her bond with Sunjay’s children from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor. She said, “He was married to two wonderful women from good families. He has two children from his second wife, whom I see frequently.”
Rani also reflected on her relationship with Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay’s second wife, and the tensions surrounding the estate. “She (Priya Kapur) wouldn’t have had the guts to have a dispute if Sunjay Kapur had been alive today. When Sunjay was alive, she didn’t have the guts to say anything. I was very close to Sunjay. He never went on a holiday without me… He never left me alone,” she recalled.
Background of the Estate Dispute
The ongoing legal conflict involves Sunjay Kapur’s estate, estimated at around Rs 30,000 crore. The matter gained public attention after Karisma Kapoor’s children approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that Priya Sachdev Kapur had forged Sunjay Kapur’s will.
Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, while playing polo in London. His cremation took place on June 19 at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in South Delhi, attended by close family members and associates.
Family Details
Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, was married to Karisma Kapoor, with whom he had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. After their divorce in 2016, he married Priya Sachdev, and the couple had a son, Azarias. Priya Sachdev also has a daughter, Safira, from her previous marriage to hotelier Vikram Chatwal.
Currently, the estate is the subject of a high-profile legal battle between Sunjay’s children from his first marriage to Karisma Kapoor and those from his second marriage to Priya Sachdev Kapur.
Rani Kapur’s remarks highlight that despite the ongoing legal dispute, she continues to maintain personal relationships with her grandchildren, underscoring the family bonds amid public controversies over the inheritance.
