Delhi High Court has become the latest battleground in the acrimonious Kapoor family dispute, as Priya Kapoor launches a Rs 20 crore civil defamation claim against Mandhira Kapoor. The move aims to muzzle what Priya calls a relentless public assault on her character.
Detailing a litany of offenses, Priya accuses Mandhira of spreading malicious falsehoods via social media rants, podcast episodes, and press interactions. Partnered with influencer Pooja Choudhary, these efforts have allegedly inflicted profound harm to Priya’s personal and social image.
At the heart lies Sanjay Kapoor’s enormous legacy. The tycoon’s three marriages produced a complex heir structure: two children from Karishma, one from Priya. Post-death wrangles involve savage claims over property partitions, will legitimacy, and fiduciary trusts.
Building on a prior criminal defamation filing where courts summoned the accused, this high court escalation signals Priya’s no-holds-barred strategy. Mandhira fires back, vowing her narrative is factual and driven by a quest for truth amid alleged financial manipulations.
This saga, blending opulent wealth with raw betrayal, captivates as it exposes the fragility of family bonds when billions are at stake. Future proceedings promise deeper dives into wills, whispers, and the high cost of inheritance.
