Dramatic Showdown in Delhi High Court: Karisma Kapoor's Legal Battle for Children's Inheritance Heats Up

The hallowed halls of the Delhi High Court recently became the stage for a dramatic and often fiery legal showdown, as lawyers representing Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur’s current wife, Priya Sachdev, locked horns over a contentious inheritance battle. The dispute, centered on a trust fund established for Karisma and Sunjay’s children, witnessed heated exchanges and sharp accusations, culminating in the court reserving its judgment.

At the heart of the legal tussle is the guardianship of Karisma and Sunjay’s two children, Samaira and Kiaan Raj.

This guardianship is crucial for the children to access a significant trust fund, which was originally set up by Sunjay’s late father, Dr. Surinder Kapur, specifically for his grandchildren. The proceedings took an intense turn when Karisma Kapoor's lawyer vehemently argued that Sunjay Kapur and his family were attempting to evade their financial responsibilities towards the children’s maintenance, labeling their actions as an attempt to deny the children their rightful share.

The tension in the courtroom was palpable, described by onlookers as akin to a high-stakes drama.

It escalated significantly when arguments between the legal representatives became particularly charged. At one point, Karisma's lawyer accused the opposing counsel of yelling, stating, “Don’t shout at us. You don’t shout at us. We are not your juniors.” This sharp retort underscored the intensity and personal stakes involved in the ongoing battle.

Adding another layer to the complex family dispute, Sunjay Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, had filed a separate petition.

Her plea sought to restrain Karisma Kapoor from interfering with the operations of the very trust established for her grandchildren. This petition further highlights the deep-seated disagreements within the family regarding the management and access to the children's inheritance.

Responding to Karisma's lawyer's allegations, Priya Sachdev's legal team launched a counter-argument.

Her lawyer contended that Karisma Kapoor had no legal standing to question Sunjay Kapur's will or the provisions made within it. This line of argument aims to challenge Karisma's authority and right to intervene in decisions concerning the trust and Sunjay's estate.

The intricate legal battle touches upon sensitive issues of family dynamics, financial obligations, and children's welfare, all unfolding under the scrutiny of the Delhi High Court.

With both sides presenting compelling, albeit conflicting, arguments, the court has now concluded hearing the submissions and has reserved its judgment. The outcome will undoubtedly have significant implications for Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay Kapur, Priya Sachdev, and most importantly, the future financial security of their children.
