Meet Safira, who will inherit largest share of Sunjay Kapur's Rs 31000 crore fortune, leaving behind Karisma Kapoor and her kids
Prominent industrialist Sunjay Kapur passed away suddenly on June 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest. A week later, Sunjay's mortal remains were brought back to Delhi, where he was laid to rest in a crematorium at Lodhi Road. For the uninitiated, Sunjay Kapur is the ex-husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, and the two shared two kids – Samaira and Kiaan Kapoor. Sunjay Kapur was one of the most well-known businessmen across the globe and had built a business worth Rs 10,300 crore. With a humongous net worth, a question that often arises is: who will inherit the money? Sunjay was married thrice. His first marriage was with Nandita Mahtani, but they parted ways in 2000. Later, in 2003, Kapur married Karisma Kapoor. However, this marriage also did not sustain. They divorced in 2016. A year later, Sunjay Kapur tied the knot with Priya Sachdev, with whom he shared a son. Who Will Inherit Sunjay Kapur's Wealth? According to a media report, Sunjay Kapur's company Sona Comstar had a net worth of Rs 31,000 crore at the time of his death. On the other hand, his personal net worth was Rs 13,000 crore. While the will of the late businessman has not been disclosed, media reports claim that the property and other assets of Sunjay Kapur will be divided among all the dependents. However, a report by One India states that Safira Chatwal will get the largest portion of Sunjay Kapur's wealth. Who is Safira Chatwal? Safira Chatwal is Priya Sachdev's daughter. Priya was previously married to American actor Vikram Chatwal. The two had a daughter, Safira Chatwal. Priya and Vikram's relationship did not work out, and the two parted ways. Further, Safira stayed with Priya, and Sunjay also accepted her as his daughter. Under Indian law, Sunjay adopted Safira as his daughter. With that, she also has the same rights as Sunjay's other children regarding his property and assets. Safira Chatwal, a 19-year-old student at Marlborough College in England, has a keen interest in international relations and contemporary geopolitical issues. Her fascination with these subjects began during her time living in India. She is also the founder of Diplomacy 2030.

Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter's and your favourite Tennis stars' post-match meal choices revealed
Image credits: Instagram/bbcsport Sports is a field that requires constant discipline and effort. Be it practice or diet, every aspect of life needs to be monitored and tailored to ensure efficient performance in games. This is even more serious for professional players whose careers depend on every match they play and their love for the sport trespasses all horizons. In a video going viral on the internet, BBC Sport asked popular tennis players what their after-match meal looked like and their answers were definitely what we expected. For sports players who monitor every calorie intake for optimum energy, strength and performance, one would think a diet would be full of healthy meals and dishes. However, the reality seems far away. What do popular tennis stars eat post-match? Image credits: Instagram/bbcsports For star Emma Raducanu, a British professional tennis player with a world ranking of 10 and a British ranking of 1, steak is "always" a post-match meal. "I've been kind of experimenting with my diet, and I've been having a lot more steak recently. It's a good diet," said the 22-year-old star player. For Katie Boulter, a 28-year-old tennis player, a post-match meal begins with a protein shake followed by a carb-loaded dish which is either pasta with Bolognese or a little bit of salad on the side. Daria Kasatkina, a Russian-born Australian professional tennis player is a fan of brunches followed by coffee- oat milk, flat white and avocado toast with halloumi cheese. "That's like a must-have," she said. Emma Navarro, an American professional tennis player, prefers deciding her meals on the basis of the result of her match. "Did I win or lose?" asked the 24-year-old sportswoman. "If I won that means I may have to play tomorrow or the next day, so I'm going to keep it simple, maybe a steak, some rice and some veggies." "If I lose, I'm probably going to eat something unhealthy, maybe a burger or some fries or maybe a beer, we'll see," she added. For Czech player Barbora Krejčíková, a post-match meal is simple with some steak with some rice. However, for Jodie Burrage, a meal after a match seems to be therapeutic in a way as she prefers having pasts that she made herself, along with chicken, chorizo and a load of veggies such as peas, asparagus and onion.
