The Kapur Family Trust is in hot water, and it's all because of a mother's fight to protect her legacy. Rani Kapur, the matriarch of the Kapur family and mother of the late Sunjay Kapur, has taken legal action against the very trust that holds a significant portion of the family's wealth. This move comes as a response to a series of events that she believes were orchestrated to deprive her of her rightful inheritance and control over the Sona Group, a listed auto component manufacturer.
The dispute centers around the trust's creation and the actions of Sunjay Kapur's widow, Priya Kapur. Rani Kapur claims that Priya acted hastily after Sunjay's passing, taking control of key Sona Group companies without her knowledge or consent. This is despite Rani's status as the family matriarch and the original owner of these assets. The situation took a turn for the worse when Rani suffered a stroke in 2017, leaving her vulnerable and dependent. Her late son and Priya allegedly exploited this vulnerability, using the trust to manipulate transactions that transferred all her assets into the RK Family Trust, all without her informed consent or understanding of the implications.
Rani's plea reveals a complex web of illegal transactions orchestrated by Priya and others, in collusion with Sunjay. She believes this was a carefully planned scheme to strip her of her entire estate, including her control over the Sona Group. The alleged fraud came to light after Sunjay's death on June 12, 2025, and the subsequent events that followed. Rani has named 23 entities as defendants, including Priya and seven of her grandchildren, some of whom are children of actor Karisma Kapoor.
This legal battle highlights the intricate dynamics within wealthy families and the lengths some will go to protect their interests. As Rani Kapur fights to reclaim her rightful place, the outcome of this case will have significant implications for the Kapur family's future and the control of their substantial assets.
