According to Priya Kapur, she has covered every bill that the kids have raised.
The Delhi High Court stated on Friday that it does not want the legal processes in the lawsuit that the children of actor Karisma Kapoor brought against their stepmother Priya Sachdev Kapur in order to receive a portion of their late father Sunjay Kapur's estate to be "melodramatic."
Justice Jyoti Singh said, "I don't want this hearing to be melodramatic."
After Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, speaking on behalf of Karisma Kapoor's children, said that the actress' daughter was enrolled in a US institution and that her tuition had not been paid for two months, the judge made the statement.
According to Jethmalani, Sunjay Kapur was required by the marriage decree to cover the children's educational costs.
"Defendant No. 1 [Priya Kapur] has the children's estate." It is therefore up to her. The daughter's two-month tuition for her studies in the US has not been paid, according to Jethmalani.
In his defense of Priya Kapur, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar refuted that claim and emphasized that Priya Kapur has covered all of the costs incurred by the kids.
He claimed that the whole purpose of bringing up the concerns in court was to have them covered by the media.
"The intention is for the same to appear in the newspaper," he stated.
Such matters should not be brought before the court, according to Justice Singh. She then requested that Senior Advocate Shyel Trehan, who is also Priya Kapur's representative, make sure that problems like this are resolved.
"I don't want to work on this for longer than thirty seconds. I shouldn't have to deal with this issue again. This hearing shouldn't be overly theatrical. I placed this responsibility on you [Shyel Trehan]. The Court stated, "This point shouldn't come up again."
In order to prevent Priya Kapur from alienating Sunjay Kapur's assets, Karisma Kapoor's two daughters filed a motion for an interim injunction, which was being heard by the High Court.
The siblings have accused Sunjay Kapur's third wife, stepmother Priya Kapur, of forging Sunjay Kapur's will and attempting to seize complete control of the property in the main lawsuit.
Before divorcing, Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were wed for 13 years, from 2003 to 2016. Together, they have a daughter and a boy. Later on, Sunjay wed Priya.
A will dated March 21, 2025, which purports to give Sunjay Kapur's entire personal wealth to Priya Sachdeva Kapur, is at the center of the controversy.
Nayar persisted in his objection to the plea for an interim injunction today. He emphasized that the will was genuine and that the family WhatsApp group also shared it.
"The two witnesses prove the execution and attestation of the Will, and they must be regarded as valid until trial," he stated.
On November 19, the Court announced that it will resume hearing the matter. It also stated that it wishes to quickly conclude the arguments about the application for an interim injunction.
The plaintiffs were represented by senior attorney Mahesh Jethmalani along with attorneys Saurav Agrawal, Ravi Sharma, and Akhil Sachar.
