₹30,000 Crore Legacy at Stake: Safira’s Name Change Fuels Family Feud

In a move that has sparked intense speculation, Safira, the stepdaughter of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, has officially dropped his surname from her name. The development comes weeks after Kapur’s sudden death during a polo match in London on June 12, which has triggered a complex and emotionally charged inheritance battle within the family.

Who is Safira?

Sunjay Kapur, a prominent figure in India’s business landscape, left behind an estimated ₹30,000 crore fortune and a complicated family tree involving multiple marriages, adopted children, and estranged ties. The question of who inherits what has now become a focal point in both legal and corporate circles, especially with the future of Sona Comstar, one of the world’s top auto component manufacturers, at stake.

Safira is the daughter of Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay’s third wife, from her previous marriage to businessman Vikram Chatwal. Though not Sunjay’s biological child, reports suggest that he had formally adopted Safira, a key legal detail that would make her eligible for inheritance under Indian law.

However, under Indian inheritance laws, stepchildren have no legal right to a parent’s estate unless legally adopted. If the adoption is verified and properly documented, Safira would stand as a rightful heir—on equal footing with Sunjay’s biological children.
