Karisma and Sujay’s children will receive what is due to them
Karisma and Sunjay married in 2003 and parted ways in 2016 after a turbulent marriage. The couple share two children — daughter Samaira and son Kiaan — who, sources confirm, are the rightful heirs to their father’s estate. “The children will receive what is due to them,” the source added. “Karisma’s focus remains entirely on them.”This clarification comes in the midst of a reported internal rift within the Kapur family. In a surprising revelation, Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, recently made a public statement ahead of Sona Comstar’s annual general meeting, claiming that she holds the majority stake in the group and is the legal heir to the estate. She also accused unnamed individuals of attempting to take control of the family’s legacy, further intensifying the already complex dispute.The late Sunjay Kapur, who was also previously married to designer Nandita Mahtani before Karisma, had kept a relatively low profile in recent years. His marriage to Karisma had once been the talk of Bollywood, but after their divorce, both moved on — Karisma returning to a quieter life focused on motherhood and occasional acting projects.Sunjay collapsed mid‑game during a polo match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England. Witnesses say he said, “I’ve swallowed something,” just before becoming unwell. Reports suggest he accidentally swallowed a bee, which may have triggered a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock) leading to cardiac arrest. Despite immediate medical attention, he suffered a sudden heart attack and could not be revived.
