Why Sunjay Kapur's 1st wife Nandita isn't in inheritance battle
What's the story
The sudden demise of Indian industrialist Sunjay Kapur in June has led to a legal tussle over his assets. The legal action has been initiated on behalf of his children from his second marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor, accusing his third wife, Priya Sachdev, of forging his will. Amid this drama, there is no involvement from Kapur's first wife, Nandita Mahtani. Here's why.
Marriage details
Brief marriage and lack of children
Mahtani, a famous Indian designer, was married to Kapur between 1996 and 2000. The two did not have any children. This is reportedly one of the reasons why Mahtani is not involved in the ongoing family feud over Kapur's assets. Following their short-lived marriage, Mahtani established herself as a leading name in fashion, styling numerous A-list celebrities, including Virat Kohli, Katrina Kaif, and Gauri Khan.
Personal life
Mahtani's relationship history post-divorce
After her divorce from Kapur, Mahtani has been in the news for her high-profile relationships. She dated actor Ranbir Kapoor and Dino Morea, with whom she co-owns a company named Playground. However, it was her relationship with actor Vidyut Jammwal that made headlines when he proposed to her by rappelling down a 150-meter-high wall in Agra. The couple ended their relationship in 2023 after two years of engagement.
Family details
Kapur's children from multiple marriages
Meanwhile, Kapur had two children with Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan. He also has a son, Azarias Kapur, with Sachdev. The couple also shared custody of Sachdev's daughter Safira Chatwal from her previous marriage. The legal battle over Kapur's assets is currently ongoing, involving the children from his marriages to Kapoor and Sachdev.
