Priya Sachdev Allowed To File Sunjay Kapoor’s Assets In Sealed Cover

The Delhi High Court has allowed Priya Sachdev Kapur to submit a confidential list of her late husband Sunjay Kapur's assets in a sealed envelope. This is part of an ongoing legal battle between Priya and Sunjay's children from his first marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor.

Justice Jyoti Singh also made it clear that none of the lawyers involved in the case are allowed to speak to the media about it. The court noted as per Live Law: "Mr Rajiv Nayar [counsel for Priya Kapur] submits that neither he nor any other lawyer on his side nor his clients will give any press statement concerning this case. A similar assurance is given by Mr Mahesh Jethmalani [counsel for Karisma Kapoor's children], as also Defendant Number 3 [Sunjay Kapur's mother Rani Kapur]."

The judge also ordered that Sunjay Kapur's will, which was submitted in the sealed cover, should be shared with his mother, Rani Kapur.

This decision came after Priya Kapur filed a request in a case already underway. Sunjay and Karisma's children had earlier approached the court, claiming they were unfairly left out of their father's estate. They accused Priya Kapur of forging the will to take control of all the assets.

Back on September 10, the High Court had asked Priya to provide a full list of Sunjay's properties-both movable and immovable-after the children raised concerns about the authenticity of the will.

Background
Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor were married from 2003 to 2016 and have two children. After Sunjay's sudden death in June this year in the UK, the children alleged that their stepmother Priya Kapur had manipulated his will to exclude them.

The will in question, dated March 21, 2025, reportedly leaves all of Sunjay's personal assets to Priya Sachdev Kapur. Priya has denied the accusations, and her lawyers say the will was properly made and signed well before Sunjay's death.

Priya's legal team also revealed that assets worth ₹1,900 crore have already been transferred to the children. They added that Karisma and Sunjay's marriage ended bitterly, and she had not been involved in his life since.

Priya and her minor son were represented by senior lawyers Rajiv Nayar, Akhil Sibal, and Shyel Trehan, along with a team from Bahuguna Law Associates. Karisma Kapoor's children were represented by senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani and his team.
