Sources confirm: Children have no access to assets worth 1900 cr as claimed by Priya Kapur

A high-profile succession battle has escalated as the Delhi High Court intervened in the dispute over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s estate, valued at nearly ₹30,000 crore. His children, Samaira (20) and Kiaan (15), represented by their mother Karisma Kapoor, have alleged suppression and forgery of a will that surfaced seven weeks after his death, despite being earlier told there was no such will.

Today’s hearing saw Justice Jyoti Singh question Priya Kapur directly on why the will had not been shared with the children, ordering her to declare all movable and immovable assets belonging to Sunjay as of June 12, 2025. Adding to the suspicion, the court heard that Rani Kapur, Sunjay’s mother, sent more than 15 unanswered emails to Priya seeking clarity on the will. 

Priya Kapur’s counsel told the Court that the children had already received ₹1,900cr, However, sources say that the control of these assets remain with Priya Kapur in the  R.K. (Rani Kapur) family trust and that the children have no access to this. Against this backdrop, adding to the doubts, the Court was also informed by counsel for Mrs. Priya Sachdev Kapur that the so-called will is not registered.

The will, dated just 11 weeks before Sunjay’s sudden demise, allegedly leaves his entire personal estate to his third wife, Priya Kapur, cutting out his children. The plaintiffs argue that they shared a close and active relationship with their father, with frequent travel, family time, and business involvement until his passing. To intensify questions of timing, Priya assumed the role of Managing Director of his company only a day after his funeral.

As per reports, the children have still not been given a copy of the will, nor any clarity on their father’s personal assets. These developments are raising urgent questions of transparency, fairness, and the rights of children in inheritance disputes; issues that resonate far beyond one family.
