Drama in the Kapoor clan reached new heights as Priya Kapoor, widow of Sanjay Kapoor, recorded her statement in a defamation lawsuit at Patiala House Court. Targeting Mandhira Kapoor—Sanjay’s sister—and an unnamed accomplice, Priya accuses them of unleashing a torrent of defamatory content across online platforms, podcasts, and media spots.
The allegations paint a picture of calculated reputational sabotage: false claims and barbs aired publicly while courts deliberate on inheritance matters. Priya insists this constitutes criminal defamation, designed to sway opinion and inflict emotional distress.
Stemming from Sanjay’s abrupt demise, the core conflict pits Priya against Karishma Kapoor’s offspring, who allege a doctored will bars them from their father’s assets. In a related Supreme Court bid, Priya demanded certified excerpts from Sanjay-Karishma’s 2016 divorce, including petitions, responses, rulings, and the pivotal settlement.
Notices flew to Karishma on January 16, with a tight two-week reply deadline. This multi-threaded litigation exposes raw nerves in a once-private family matter now splashed across tabloids.
By stepping into the witness box, Priya has drawn a line in the sand, vowing to combat what she calls media-orchestrated injustice. As hearings progress, the blend of celebrity status, vast fortunes, and betrayal narratives keeps India hooked, pondering where justice will land in this tangled web of wills and whispers.
