The legal battle over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s estate has taken a dramatic turn. Mandhira Kapur, Sunjay’s sister, has publicly accused his widow, Priya Sachdev, of demanding secrecy and resisting transparency throughout the inheritance process. Speaking on the podcast InControversial with Pooja Chadhuri, Mandhira described Priya as a “fraud” and expressed frustration over alleged attempts to withhold crucial details.
“You wanted an NDA. You wanted the Will in a sealed envelope. And now you don’t want a forensic. What are you hiding? How many games are we going to play?” said Mandhira.
She further added:
“As far as I go, I’m going to fight this till the end. Who is she not to pay the tuition fees, dude? It’s not her money that she’s claimed. This is pure robbery. This is what you call major theft. This is what you call major fraud. And this country needs to wake up and see it.”
Allegations of Lack of Transparency
Mandhira alleged that her mother, Rani Kapur, was pressured to sign documents shortly after Sunjay’s death, when she was grieving and vulnerable.
“My mother doesn’t know what she signed. She was overwhelmed, grieving and vulnerable. This family has been ripped off everything that belongs to us,” Mandhira said.
She also emphasised the collective effort of the family in building the business:

Legal Battle Over Sunjay Kapur’s Assets
The dispute over Sunjay Kapur’s wealth began after his passing, with his children, Samaira and Kiaan, filing a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking their rightful share. The siblings have alleged that Priya Sachdev forged Sunjay’s will to her benefit.
Recently, the children filed a fresh petition requesting the court to prevent Priya Sachdev from transferring or altering any of Sunjay Kapur’s assets until the case is resolved. The next hearing is scheduled for November 20, and further developments are awaited.
This inheritance battle has captured public attention due to the high-profile nature of the Kapur family and the seriousness of the allegations, highlighting ongoing disputes in family-run businesses.
