Rani Kapur, the mother of late Sona Comstar chairman Sunjay Kapur, has joined his children with ex-wife and actor Karisma Kapoor in challenging the validity of his will before the Delhi High Court.

She argued that she had been entirely excluded from the estate and sought a status quo on his assets.

During Wednesday's hearing on the challenge filed by Karisma Kapoor's children after the disclosure of the will, Rani Kapur's counsel stated that Rani Kapur, a Class I heir, has been completely excluded from the purported will and the RK Family Trust, which governs the family's shareholding in Sona Comstar. To be sure, Rani Kapur was made one of the defendants in the petition filed by Karisma Kapoor's children, disputing Sunjay's will and seeking partition of his estate estimated at ₹30,000 crore.

Under Indian succession law, Class I heirsspouse, children, and motherinherit by default.
