The ongoing estate dispute linked to late businessman Sunjay Kapur has taken a new turn, with his mother Rani Kapur publicly objecting to her reported removal from the RK Family Trust.
The development comes amid a broader legal conflict involving Kapur’s widow Priya Sachdev Kapur, his children from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor, and other family stakeholders.
Trust Dispute Sparks Fresh Tension
According to reports, Priya Sachdev Kapur, who is associated with the RK Family Trust as a trustee and beneficiary, issued a notice removing Rani Kapur from her position as trustee, effective March 25.
Responding to the development in a media interaction, Rani Kapur expressed strong disagreement with the move, stating that she does not accept the decision and intends to challenge it.
She indicated that she believes the trust and associated assets are closely tied to contributions made by her and her late husband, and questioned the basis on which she was removed.
Claims and Counterclaims
Rani Kapur has also raised concerns regarding the formation and functioning of the RK Family Trust, stating that she plans to contest its validity through legal channels.
On the other side, Priya Sachdev Kapur’s position regarding the trust and estate management remains part of ongoing legal proceedings.
It is important to note that these claims have been made by the respective parties and are yet to be adjudicated by the courts.
Larger Estate Dispute
The trust issue is part of a wider legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s estate, reportedly valued at approximately Rs 30,000 crore.
Kapur’s children—Samaira and Kiaan—have approached the Delhi High Court, raising objections to a will that allegedly names Priya Sachdev Kapur as the primary beneficiary. They have questioned the authenticity of the document in their petition.
The matter is currently under judicial consideration, and no final determination has been made regarding the validity of the claims.
Background
Sunjay Kapur, a prominent industrialist associated with Sona Comstar, passed away leaving behind a complex family and financial legacy. Since then, multiple legal proceedings have emerged concerning the distribution and control of his assets.
What Lies Ahead
With multiple cases now linked to the estate—including issues related to the will and the RK Family Trust—the dispute is expected to continue across courts. Legal experts indicate that such matters typically involve detailed examination of documents, trust structures, and succession claims.
