Sunjay Kapur, chairman of global auto-parts giant Sona Comstar, passed away at age 53, leaving behind assets valued around ₹10,300 crore (~$1.2 billion). His heirs include three children: Samaira (20) and Kiaan (14) from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor, and Azarias (7) with his third wife, Priya Sachdev.
What Will Karisma Kapoor’s Kids Get?
During the divorce settlement in 2016, Sunjay had transferred significant financial support arrangements for his two older children. These include bonds worth ₹14 crore, generating around ₹10 lakh per month in interest, and the transfer of ownership of a family home in Mumbai to Karisma. The existing bond income and property ownership are expected to remain intact and will benefit Samaira and Kiaan.
Who Will Take Over the Business?
Operational control of Sona Comstar will likely pass to senior leadership within the company and could involve other family stakeholders—potentially including Sunjay’s children or his third wife, Priya—though no public succession plan has been finalized yet.
