Bitter Legal Battle Erupts

A contentious legal battle has erupted within the Kapur family. At the center of the conflict is the RK Family Trust. Rani Kapur, Sunjay Kapur's mother, and Priya Sachdev, his daughter-in-law, are locked in a dispute following the businessman's death.

Rani Kapur has spoken out about the ongoing feud. She alleges wrongdoing and vows to pursue the case to its conclusion. The dispute centers around control of the RK Family Trust.

'I Will Fight Till I Die'

Reacting to her removal from the trust, Rani Kapur stated,

"I think it's very wrong of her. She entered my family seven years ago... If my husband was alive, he wouldn't have allowed this."

 

She added,

"The RK Family Trust was formed by my husband, and it will stay like that always. I don't know how she has come in and now wants to take over my house and everything. I'm not going to allow it. I will fight till I die."

 

Allegations of Wrongdoing

Rani Kapur alleges she was coerced into signing documents soon after her son's passing.

"Three days after my son's funeral, we had just come from London. She took me to the office. I was in no condition to sign or read anything. She made me sign papers,"

she stated.

 

She added,

"When I came out, my daughters asked me what I had signed. I said I don't know—I was crying."

 

She claims the documents are invalid, stating,

"I should sue her for that... I signed a whole lot of papers without reading them. Not that I can't read—but I was not in the condition to. Whatever I've signed is null and void."

 

Dispute Over Delhi Home

Rani Kapur also addressed the issue of accessing her Delhi home. She stated,

"We built that house years ago when we moved from Bombay to Delhi because my husband was starting a company there."

 

She further added,

"Now she thinks she owns the house also—for what, I don't know,"

while denying any attempts were made to contact her.

"Never—I'm telling you right now, never."

 

Maintaining Family Ties

Despite the ongoing dispute, Rani Kapur maintains contact with other family members. This includes Karisma Kapoor, her former daughter-in-law.

"Karisma is very much in touch with me. They come and have lunch... we go out. I meet them regularly,"

she said.

 

She added,

"I've always been very fond of her and the kids."

She expressed sorrow over being separated from one of her grandchildren, stating,

"I miss that little one... I haven't been home since my son passed away. I just can't enter that house again."

 

Uncertain Resolution

When questioned about the desired resolution, Rani Kapur remained cautious.

"Once I get it, I'll decide... you know how the courts in India are—it's a long legal fight. I don't want to say anything right now."

 

The legal battle over the RK Family Trust continues. Both sides have challenged each other's authority. This transforms the family conflict into a significant battle over legacy and control. The disputed estate is valued at ₹30,000 crore.

What to Watch Next

The legal proceedings surrounding the RK Family Trust will continue in court. Further developments are expected as both sides present their cases. The court's decisions will determine the future of the trust and the involved parties' respective rights and access to the Kapur family assets.
