Karisma Kapoor Renews Luxury Lease Amid Rs 30,000 Crore Inheritance War

Karisma Kapoor has recently signed a one-year lease renewal for her upscale Bandra West apartment, with an annual rent of Rs 66.12 lakh. This move takes place amidst a high-stakes legal conflict over the substantial Rs 30,000 crore estate of her late ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur. The terms of the lease detail a 2,200 sq ft apartment with three parking spaces, a Rs 20 lakh security deposit, and a monthly rent of Rs 5.51 lakh, reflecting strong rental pricing in the area.

The backdrop to this lease renewal is an intense legal fight concerning Sunjay Kapur's will. Karisma's children are involved in a court case against Sunjay's widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, regarding their entitlement to the vast estate. An example of the dispute involved allegations of unpaid university fees for Karisma's daughter, Samaira, which were contested with evidence of payment.

Real estate experts note the consistent demand and rental appreciation in Bandra West's luxury segment, highlighting the asset's stability. The core of the inheritance dispute centers on claims that the will was altered to exclude Sunjay Kapur's children, a contention that Priya Sachdev Kapur's legal team has addressed by citing family traditions. The legal proceedings, initiated after Sunjay Kapur's passing in London, are ongoing in the Delhi High Court.
