New Delhi: In a hearing at the Delhi High Court, Priya Kapur, the wife of the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, defended her claim that it is a common and healthy tradition for a husband to leave all of his assets to his wife. She refuted the allegations made by actor Karisma Kapoor's children, who questioned the authenticity of their father's alleged will. Priya's counsel, senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, argued that this is not an unusual situation, as even Sunjay's father had done the same in his own will by leaving everything to his wife, Rani Kapur.
Nayar further explained that there is nothing suspicious about a husband leaving all his assets to his wife, as it is a customary practice that has been maintained by many. He stated, "As is the case in my father-in-law's will, where everything was given to his wife. It is a healthy tradition which perhaps has been maintained." The lawyer added that Priya's will and Sunjay's were made together on the same day, which is customary for a husband and wife.
The court, which was hearing the suit filed by Karisma Kapoor's children - Samaira Kapur and her brother, challenging their father's will, listed the matter for further arguments on Friday. Nayar also revealed that Sunjay had made some changes to the draft of his will on February 10, 2025, after which the final modifications were made on March 17, 2025, while he was in Goa.
Nayar clarified that Priya's case is not about disinheritance, as both plaintiffs have received a substantial interest of Rs 2,000 crore under the family trust. The court also heard arguments on an interim injunction application filed by Karisma's children, seeking to restrain Priya from selling or transferring Sunjay's assets. They have questioned the authenticity of Sunjay's will, who passed away on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England due to a sudden cardiac arrest.
Priya's counsel also argued that the timing of the will's emergence should not be considered suspicious, as it was made in the presence of witnesses and with the necessary legal formalities. The court will continue to hear the arguments on Friday.
