What will Karisma Kapoor's children Samaira and Kiaan inherit from Sunjay Kapoor's Rs 3000000000000 crore wealth? Wife Priya Sachdev Kapur will get...
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur (File) Billionaire businessman and Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, died suddenly on 12 June in London. He was playing a polo match at the Guards Polo Club when he began to feel unwell. Moments later, he suffered a heart attack and passed away on the spot. As per reports, a bee flew into his throat during the game, and its sting may have triggered the heart attack. Sunjay Kapur was the Chairman of Sona Comstar, a major global auto parts company. He took charge of the business in 2015 after his father Dr. Surinder Kapur's death and led it into new international markets. Jeffrey Mark Overly is the New Chairman Sona Comstar has a market value of about Rs. 31,000 crore (around 4 billion dollars). After Sunjay Kapur's death, the company's shares dropped by 7 per cent, and people started speculating about who would take over as the next leader. In a statement, the company said, 'Sanjay Kapur's vision and dedication will always inspire us. We assure our customers, employees, and shareholders that the company will continue to run smoothly.' For now, the company is being managed by its board, and recently, Jeffrey Mark Overly has been appointed as the new Chairman. Allegations by Sunjay Kapur's Mother Rani Kapur After Sanjay Kapur's sudden death, a dispute has surfaced within the family over who will take over his legacy. His mother, Rani Kapur, has raised serious allegations. She claimed that during the time of mourning, she was kept away from key decisions, and was pressured to sign certain documents. She also accused the company's board of appointing Sanjay's wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, as a non-executive director without the family's consent. However, the company strongly denied these claims. In its official response, the company said that Rani Kapur has not held any shares since 2019, and that all decisions were made legally and in line with company rules. What did Karisma Kapoor and her children receive? According to Forbes, Sunjay Kapur's total wealth was estimated at around USD 1.2 billion (approximately Rs. 10,300 crore). As per his will and trust, the entire estate will now be managed by his wife Priya Sachdev Kapur. This means that the share meant for their son Azarius will be handled indirectly by his mother. Sunjay Kapur was earlier married to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, but the couple divorced in 2016. They have two children together — Samaira (20) and Kiaan (14). Financial arrangements for these children were made in advance. As per reports: Both children were gifted bonds worth Rs. 14 crore. They also receive a monthly income of Rs. 10 lakh each. In addition, a property in Sunjay Kapur's father's name was allotted to Karisma Kapoor as part of the custody settlement.
