Priya Sachdev's Lawyer Counters Stepkids' Accusations Of Forging Sunjay Kapur's Will, 'No Basis..'

After Sunjay Kapur's shocking and untimely death on June 12, 2025, his complex family dynamics have been put in the spotlight. A family feud has erupted over the inheritance of Sunjay Kapur's Rs. 30,000 crore estate, involving his third wife, Priya Sachdev, his mother, Rani Kapur, and his children, Samaira and Kiaan, with ex-wife Karisma Kapoor. Recently, as Karisma's children made claims against their stepmother for forging their late father's will, Priya's lawyer has countered those accusations. 

Priya Sachdev's lawyer counters will forgery claims made by Karisma Kapoor's lawyers

Sunjay Kapur's second wife, Karisma, and her children, Samaira and Kiaan, are engaged in a legal battle with his third wife, Priya Sachdev. Their lawyer claimed that Sunjay's will has many mistakes, such as the wrong home address of his daughter and has also misspelt his son's name in many places. He has questioned the validity of the will. However, Priya Sachdev's lawyer, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nair countered it and said:

"I ask myself in which proceeding are we putting the Will to issue? This is not a probate proceeding. You have not challenged the execution or validity of the Will in the pleadings. There is no declaration sought for cancelling it."

Advocate Nair stated that there is no challenge to the will of Sunjay Kapur since the lawsuit was filed by his children on September 9, 2025, while the will was shared with them on September 15, 2025. He also said that if Priya Sachdev had to forge the will then she would have done it completely and not just written wrong addresses and name spelling. He was quoted as saying:

“I am told that there are four additional grounds to invalidate a will -- wrong spelling, wrong address, writing testatrix instead of testator, and the closeness of witnesses. In my 45 years of experience, I have never seen a Will invalidated for spelling errors. Forgery has to be complete no mistakes would be left. And this lady (Priya Kapur) is not a housewife; she is an investment banker. Would she spell her son's name wrong?”

Advocate Nair further stated that a will's signature is based on whether it had correct signatures and witnesses and not on where and when it was found. Hence, the lawyer said that the dispute was 'wife versus wife', that is between Karisma Kapoor and Priya. Advocate Nair then stated that in this case the current spouse is preferred and not the divorced ex-wife. The lawyer said:

“A will is not judged by whose custody it remained in or when it surfaced, but by whether it bears genuine signatures and proper attestation… This is wife versus wife - obviously, the current wife would be preferred, not the estranged one. The execution of the will and the course of disclosure have been detailed. There is no basis for assuming a different narrative.”
