Imagine a family torn apart not just by grief, but by a massive fortune and a disputed last will—millions are watching as Karisma Kapoor's kids fight for what's rightfully theirs in a Rs 30,000 crore battle. But here's where it gets really intriguing: amidst the courtroom drama, a heartfelt tribute from Kareena Kapoor adds a layer of emotion that has everyone buzzing. Let's dive into this celebrity saga that's equal parts heartwarming and headline-grabbing.
It all started when Karisma Kapoor's former husband, Sunjay Kapur, tragically passed away in June of this year. Picture this: he suffered a fatal heart attack after accidentally swallowing a bee—a shocking and unexpected end that left his loved ones reeling. Sunjay, a successful businessman, had built an immense empire valued at around Rs 30,000 crore, and his death sparked not only sorrow but also a fierce legal dispute over his inheritance. At the center of the controversy are his two children from his marriage to Karisma: Samaira and Kiaan. They're now clashing with Priya Sachdev, who was Sunjay's wife at the time of his passing.
The kids have taken the bold step of filing a court petition, claiming that Priya has forged their father's will. This accusation has turned the situation into a full-blown feud, and since the matter is currently sub judice—meaning it's under judicial consideration and we can't discuss details to avoid prejudicing the case—it's keeping lawyers and fans alike on the edge of their seats. For beginners wondering about these terms, 'sub judice' is a legal principle that prevents public commentary on ongoing court cases to ensure a fair trial, like how we avoid spoilers in a movie review.
And this is the part most people miss: even as the legal battle rages, life—and family traditions—go on. Sunjay's birthday fell on October 15, and while Priya Sachdev honored him with a touching video and an emotional message expressing her longing, Karisma shared a simple yet powerful photo late that night. It was of a cake inscribed with 'Happy birthday dad'—a quiet gesture that spoke volumes. Then, Kareena Kapoor Khan, the ever-supportive sister, reshared the photo with her own heartfelt caption: 'My sam and kiu, dad is protecting you always and forever' accompanied by a heart emoji. Kareena has been a rock for Karisma and the kids throughout this ordeal, from the funeral to travels afterward, and even Saif Ali Khan, her husband, has been spotted lending support. It's a reminder that family bonds can shine through even the darkest times.
But here's where it gets controversial: the authenticity of Sunjay's will is under serious scrutiny, and not just from the kids. Enter senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, who has publicly highlighted what he calls 'glaring errors' in the document, raising eyebrows and questions about whether it's genuine. For instance, he points out repeated grammatical mistakes and the puzzling use of feminine pronouns—like 'she' and 'her' appearing four times. Imagine that; the will even reads, 'Signed and declared by Sunjay Kapur the testatrix above named as and for her last will.' Jethmalani doesn't hold back, calling it an 'absurdity' and suggesting that Sunjay, a man, wouldn't have signed off as a woman unless something was terribly amiss.
He elaborates that for a meticulous person like Sunjay, who reportedly had little to no digital footprint—no handwriting samples, no photos, just some oral testimony from witnesses who haven't even filed detailed affidavits yet—these inconsistencies scream forgery. There's no explanation for the female pronouns or the lack of concrete evidence like timestamps or locations for the will's signing. Jethmalani emphasizes that Sunjay appears as a 'digital ghost' in the whole affair, which makes the document's validity highly questionable. But wait, what if some argue that in the rush of estate planning, mistakes happen? Or could there be a hidden motive, like cultural or familial pressures? This is the kind of debate that's dividing opinions online—some see it as clear evidence of foul play, while others wonder if it's just an unfortunate error in a high-stakes game.
What do you think? Is this a case of genuine inheritance gone wrong, or does the will's bizarre wording point to something more sinister? Do you believe family should come first, even over a fortune, or is this a fair fight in the courts? Share your thoughts in the comments—do you side with the kids, or is there a counterpoint I'm missing? Let's discuss!
