Priya Kapur Seeks Divorce Papers in Supreme Court
Priya Kapur, the second wife of the late Sunjay Kapur, has asked the Supreme Court for copies of the divorce papers between Sunjay and his first wife, Karisma Kapoor.
This divorce happened in 2016 and included details about how their two children would be taken care of.
The divorce was settled amicably, with Karisma getting custody of the children and Sunjay having visitation rights.
Now, after Sunjay's death in July 2023, there is a dispute over his inheritance.
Karisma's children, Samaira and Kiaan, are questioning the validity of a will presented by Priya Kapur in the Delhi High Court.
They have asked the Supreme Court to take criminal action against Priya.
Karisma's lawyers argue that Priya's application is frivolous and an attempt to dig up personal information, while Priya's lawyers say the documents are necessary to resolve the estate dispute.
