Priya Kapur performs hawan at home with family amid the inheritance battle

Sunjay Kapur`s widow, Priya Kapur, is embroiled in a legal dispute over his multimillion-dollar estate. The trouble began when his children, along with his ex-wife and actor Karisma Kapoor, filed a case in the Delhi High Court, alleging that Priya forged Sunjay`s will.

Priya recently reported that she had a puja and hawan (prayer ceremony) with her friends and colleagues. She explained that the ceremony was for "protection, peace, and prosperity" as she moves forward.

Priya shared photographs on Instagram Stories of herself doing the hawan with her infant son, Azarius, and other close family members. Friends and coworkers were sitting close, participating in the puja.

Priya penned a caption on the post, “Our prayer for protection, peace and prosperity… moving forward, carrying your legacy with us.”

One image showed Azarius pouring ghee on the fire by himself. A final, older photo shows Sunjay assisting his son during the aarti (a Hindu ceremony). Priya had already penned a tribute to Sunjay on his birth anniversary. She had written a lengthy note, where she said, “You lived these words without ever needing to speak them. You led with kindness, not command. You built with courage, not pride. You gave without expecting, because giving was your nature. I watched you move through storms with grace, carry burdens with calm, and turn every challenge into purpose. You never spoke of faith; you lived it. You believed in doing, not declaring.”

All about the inheritance case

Priya is currently involved in a high-profile legal struggle over the estate. Samaira and Kiaan, Karisma`s children, filed the action, with their mother serving as legal guardian. They, along with Sunjay`s mother and sister, have questioned the will`s legitimacy. Priya was even asked to submit the will to the court to check its authenticity amid the inheritance battle. 

Sunjay Kapur was chairman of Sona Comstar, a major auto components producer. He died in June in London while playing polo. Sunjay and Karisma were married from 2003 to 2016 and had two children together. He married Priya in 2017.
