Sunjay Kapur Dispute: Priya Sachdev's family was very close to late tycoon; document lists Safira as his child

Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025 in a shocking manner in London. The extremely fit tycoon died at the age of 53 while playing a game of polo. Two months down the line, his mother Rani Kapur and sister Mandhira Kapur Smith have accused people of trying to usurp the family’s legacy. She has alleged that even Priya Sachdev Kapur has not been very transparent with them. Mandhira Kapur Smith who was talking to Republic said that it was heart-breaking to see their mother in this condition. She said Rani Kapur and the family had helped build Sona Comstar.

Some time back, a netizen had shared on Reddit how Mandhira Kapur Smith was not in agreement about an IPO that was to be launched by the company. She had sent a notice where she said she was not consulted before the decision. However, Mandhira admitted that he had informed her about his plans. She had also alleged that he is trying to usurp the estate of their late father, Surinder Kapur by founding a family trust. As we know, the two were not on talking terms for four years. She expressed regret about the same in a note after his demise on Instagram.

We can see that the name of Safira Sifat Chatwal is also there. She is also addressed as daughter of Sunjay Kapur. We do not know if he had adopted her legally. Safira is the daughter of Priya Sachdev and her first husband, hotelier Vikram Chatwal. He is a very rich American - Indian tycoon. Netizens are wondering if the family that had three siblings did not have a proper succession plan in place. Sona Comstar is a company and not a private business. As of now, Vivek Vikram Singh is the CEO and Mark Jeffrey Overly is the chairman of the firm.

It is a very standard practice to have names of family members when someone launches an IPO. We can see that parents of Priya Sachdev and her siblings' name is given. While the name of the children and Rani Kapur is there, Mandhira is not present.
