Rani Kapur Takes Legal Action To Remove Daughter-in-Law Priya Sachdev Kapur From Sunjay Kapur RK Family Trust

The inheritance battle over the late Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000 crore estate has taken a dramatic twist. Rani Kapur, Sunjay’s mother, has issued a legal notice seeking the removal of her daughter-in-law, Priya Sachdev Kapur , as a trustee of the RK Family Trust . This move intensifies an ongoing family dispute that has already made headlines across India.

Rani Kapur’s notice, dated March 21, cites Clause 8.12(i) of the trust deed, which allows her to remove a trustee without providing any reason. Priya now has just 15 days to relinquish her trustee powers. Rani Kapur argues that certain assets held in the trust actually belong to her personally and has questioned the legal validity of the trust itself.

The controversy is not limited to the trust. Sunjay Kapur’s children with his former wife, Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan have approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that the will Priya is relying on is forged. The court has permitted a forensic examination to verify the authenticity of the signatures on the document.

Priya Sachdev Kapur reportedly took control of Sunjay’s business empire, including Sona Comstar, after his sudden death in June 2025. Karisma Kapoor’s children claim that her actions have sidelined the family, particularly Sunjay’s elderly mother, and have prevented them from receiving their rightful inheritance.

The RK Family Trust battle highlights the challenges of managing high-value family estates and the legal complications that can arise after the death of a prominent figure. With claims of forgery and disputes over trust legitimacy, this feud is likely to continue dominating the legal and entertainment news in India.

As the case unfolds, all eyes are on the Delhi High Court to see how this multi-crore family inheritance dispute will be resolved.
