Karisma's kids allege Priya forged Sunjay's will
The children, represented by their mother Karisma Kapoor, claimed that Priya Kapur fabricated Sunjay Kapur's will in order to gain exclusive control of his assets.
Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the children, stated that the will is unregistered, was never revealed before, and was read "in haste" at the Taj. They claimed that despite Sunjay Kapur's repeated assurances regarding their financial security, Priya Kapur limited their access to trust documents and then prepared a will dated March 21.
