In the glittering yet gritty world of Bollywood-business crossovers, the Kapoor family’s property war grabs headlines again. Delhi High Court postponed Rani Kapoor’s petition—targeting a allegedly fake family trust cooked up by daughter-in-law Priya and Karisma Kapoor’s children—to January 29. At stake: control of Sanjay Kapoor’s stake in powerhouse Sona Comstar.
Justice Vikas Mahajan recused himself, shifting the hot potato to another bench for Thursday’s hearing. This follows a deferral on January 23. Rani’s narrative is harrowing: reeling from her son’s sudden death, she was mentally and physically frail, ripe for exploitation. Signatures were allegedly extracted under duress to channel assets into this illusory trust.
Her court move aims to shatter it. The drama intensifies with Karisma’s kids blasting Priya for a phony will submission meant to erase their claims. Priya fights back via Supreme Court, requesting talaq papers to expose any secret pacts; Karisma faces notices with a 14-day rejoinder mandate.
Priya’s defamation lawsuit against Sanjay’s sister rounds out the chaos. This inheritance imbroglio, blending emotional turmoil with corporate stakes, promises prolonged courtroom theater, leaving Sona Comstar’s trajectory uncertain amid familial betrayal.
