Overview

• Samaira and Kiaan Kapur told the court the purported will refers to their father with feminine terms including “she,” “her,” and “testatrix,” which they argue no meticulous author would sign.
• Their counsel cited metadata showing drafts originated on Nitin Sharma’s device with edits on February 10 and March 17 and circulation as a PDF in a ‘Family Office’ WhatsApp group before execution dated March 21 and activity noted on March 24.
• The children pointed to alleged drafting blunders such as misspellings of Kiaan’s name, a wrong address for Samaira, inconsistent bank listings, and missing schedules for assets including jewellery and crypto.
• They asserted the document concentrates control with Priya Sachdev Kapur and her son, claiming roughly 60% to Priya, 12% to her son, and 75% control of a family trust, while Priya’s side denied any forgery and maintained authenticity.
• Proceedings remain ongoing with the High Court previously permitting Priya to file a verified asset list in a sealed cover, Rani Kapur objecting that she was omitted, and further arguments scheduled to continue on Wednesday.
