The inheritance case of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur has become one of the most talked-about family disputes in Delhi High Court. The case involves his children, his third wife Priya Sachdev, and questions over his multi-crore assets worth nearly ₹30,000 crore. But one name that has remained absent from the controversy is his first wife, fashion designer Nandita Mahtani.
Why Nandita Mahtani Missed Sunjay Kapur’s Inheritance
Born in Delhi in 1976, Nandita Mahtani belongs to a business family and later made a mark in the fashion industry. She married Sunjay Kapur in 1996, but the marriage lasted only four years before their divorce in 2000. After that, Nandita built her independent career as a stylist, even working with top celebrities like Virat Kohli. She was also briefly linked with Dino Morea and Ranbir Kapoor and got engaged to actor Vidyut Jammwal in 2017.
According to reports, Sunjay Kapur’s will produced by his third wife Priya Sachdev does not mention Nandita or his second wife, actor Karisma Kapoor. The reason is simple: Sunjay had decided to leave his estate only for his children and immediate family, not his ex-wives.
Since Nandita Mahtani and Sunjay did not have any children together, she had no legal claim to his wealth. Karisma too is not contesting her exclusion, but her two children, Samaira and Kiaan, are fighting against Priya, accusing her of forging the will. Even Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, has joined the legal battle, demanding full disclosure of his assets.

The Delhi High Court has now asked Priya to submit details of all of Sunjay’s assets. The case is expected to be heard again in October 2025, and it will determine how the huge inheritance will be divided among the family members.
While Nandita Mahtani’s past with Sunjay Kapur adds interest to the story, her absence from the will is not surprising. With no children from the marriage and no claim as an ex-wife, she remains out of the inheritance battle. For now, the legal fight is mainly between Sunjay’s children with Karisma and his third wife Priya Sachdev, with the outcome likely to have a huge impact on the future of the Kapur family’s business empire.
