Tensions boil over in the Kapoor clan as Rani Kapoor challenges the legitimacy of a family trust controlling her late son Sanjay’s multi-billion empire. Thursday’s Delhi High Court hearing marked a pivotal moment, with summons issued to 22 respondents accused of a post-death asset grab.
The petition details a shocking conspiracy: Priya Kapoor, Sanjay’s widow, alongside Karisma Kapoor’s offspring and others, allegedly formed the RK Family Trust illicitly. Rani, sidelined despite her pivotal role, discovered the transfer too late—her consent never sought, her health weaponized against her.
Key allegations include unauthorized company takeovers and coerced paperwork amid her frailty. The trust, branded fraudulent, must be scrapped, Rani demands, restoring her pre-scheme entitlements.
No interim orders emerged, preserving current arrangements pending full arguments. Both factions have tabled proofs; future dates promise intense scrutiny of deeds and motives.
This dispute highlights perils of opaque succession in tycoon families, blending corporate intrigue with personal vendettas. As the court delves deeper, the Kapoor fortune’s fate hangs in balance, captivating business and entertainment watchers alike.
