The Legal and Financial Battle Over Sunjay Kapur’s Estate
The whole thing about Sunjay Kapur’s estate is just getting messier. It’s not just about old money anymore. It’s about actual cash , education , and a whole lot of legal wrangling over what happened after he died.
Priya Sachdev, his widow, is really pushing the courts now. She’s not just asking for a piece of the inheritance. She wants access to the money sitting in the Employees’ Provident Fund. It’s for Samaira and Kiaan. School fees. Educational expenses.
This whole inheritance fight, which already felt huge, now has this angle about school money attached. It drags in Karisma Kapoor’s children, you know? A whole different layer of drama thrown into the mix.
Priya approached the Delhi High Court asking for permission. She wanted to pull some money out of Sunjay Kapur’s EPF accounts. May 26th, that was when the court hearing happened. She was asking for the Green light to use those funds for the kids. Samaira and Kiaan.
But there’s history here. There was that interim injunction back on April 30th. That order basically froze everything. It stopped the estate from being liquidated. It stopped any transfer of assets. It locked down all the corporate holdings.
Of course, the court had let some little things slip through before. Limited relaxation for essential expenses for the children. But now it’s a different fight. Specific access to the provident fund. Her lawyers pushed for that approval. They made it clear the money needed to go toward school fees. Academic costs for Samaira and Kiaan. Nothing else.
It’s complicated. You see, this educational angle pops up because of old arguments. The issue of fees wasn't new. It was there during those earlier hearings about the estate.
Karisma Kapoor’s side had already made claims. They argued that Samaira’s college fees just weren't paid. Why? Because the managers handling Sunjay Kapur’s estate apparently just couldn't clear those payments. A failure on the part of the managers, not necessarily Priya.
Priya fought back on that. She denied the allegation in court. Her lawyers brought receipts. Proof. They showed payments had already been made. They said ₹95 lakh per semester was already cleared. That’s a big number, a specific claim, but it doesn't change the core dispute.
Still, this latest plea just keeps shifting the focus. It’s always back to the children’s needs. Amidst all this legal tension about Sunjay’s assets. It’s exhausting, really.
Sunjay Kapur himself. He died. June 12, 2025. He collapsed during a polo match in England. Fifty-three years old. A sudden end to the whole complicated setup.
Think about the life they had. Sunjay and Karisma. They tied the knot back in 2003. A massive wedding. One of those Bollywood spectacles. Everyone talked about it. They had two kids together. Samaira, born in March 2005. And Kiaan, born March 2011.
But even that picture started to crack. By 2014, things got rough. They filed for divorce. The marriage officially ended in 2016. He moved on quickly. In 2017, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev. A Delhi model, known in those elite circles.
The inheritance battle started when Karisma’s kids came to court. They alleged forgery. They claimed Priya had forged Sunjay Kapur’s will. They said it gave everything to her. That’s where the whole mess started, the fight over who actually got what.
And it wasn't just about the will. Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, is also tangled up. She’s separately involved in this legal battle over the estate. Everyone’s pulling on different strings.
So, you have the foundation—the marriage, the kids, the death. Then you have the legal fallout—the contested will, the asset freezing. And now, on top of that, you have the very personal, very urgent demand for school money from the widow. It just keeps moving. A constant, uneven push.
