Family feud reportedly pushes Sunjay Kapur's sister and mother to claims of being sidelined within the family.
In the wake of the tragic death of Sunjay Kapur at the age of 53, due to a cardiac arrest during a polo match, his family is embroiled in a heated inheritance and corporate dispute. The feud involves Sunjay's mother Rani Kapur, his sister Mandhira Kapur, his widow Priya Sachdev, and other family members.
Rani Kapur, the 80-year-old matriarch, alleges that her son's death is suspicious and possibly involves foul play. She has filed a criminal complaint with UK authorities seeking a probe into the circumstances of his death. Rani claims she was coerced into signing legal documents rapidly within a brief 13-day grieving period, effectively sidelining her from control and decision-making over the family business empire. She also alleges financial restrictions and dubious asset transfers.
Mandhira Kapur, Sunjay's sister, supports her mother’s allegations and calls the situation a "nightmare." She criticizes the rushed handling of legal paperwork excluding their mother from the company’s legacy. Mandhira also openly questions the official cause of death and expresses concern over the lack of transparency in the post-death proceedings.
The family feud has drawn in other family members and connections, including Sunjay’s former wife and actress Karisma Kapoor, with disputes over shares, inheritance rights, and control of assets reportedly escalating.
Sona Comstar, the company associated with Sunjay Kapur, has denied Rani Kapur’s allegations and says Rani has had no role in the company since 2019. The company has served her a legal notice over what they term as 'false' allegations.
Mandhira Kapur, the former chairperson of Soma Comstar, has expressed emotional distress due to the intensification of family feud following her brother's death. She stated that her family feels cut off from the family business after Sunjay Kapur's demise. Mandhira praises Karisma Kapoor for supporting the family during this difficult time.
In an interview, Mandhira expressed her feelings of being sidelined after her brother's death. She claims that she and her mother have been sidelined and treated poorly by the family. Mandhira believes her father is responsible for the current family situation. She states that she and her family were not included in obituaries or other family matters after Sunjay's death.
Rani Kapur, in a letter to the company's board, stated that she is the sole beneficiary of her late husband, Surinder Kapur's estate. She also mentioned that she holds the majority of shares at Sona Comstar. However, no new information was provided about the current status of Rani Kapur or the cease-and-desist notice in this paragraph.
Mandhira Kapur has not mentioned any current status or role of Karisma Kapoor in the family business or affairs. She does, however, consider Karisma a good mother. The legal battles and investigation requests are ongoing as the family struggles over control of a vast business empire.
