Meet Nandita Mahtani, The Ex-Wife Of Sunjay Kapur Not Part Of The Kapur Succession Drama
Businessman Sunjay Kapur's sudden death on June 12 in the UK has put the spotlight on the Kapurs and a bitter succession drama. While Priya Sachdev, who Sunjay was married to at the time of his death, and Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor, his former wife are both part of the inheritance battle, Sunjay Kapur's first wife is out of it all. Nandita Mahtani, renowned fashion designer, stylist and socialite, was Sunjay Kapur's first wife. The couple got married in 1996 and parted ways in 2000. Nandita and Sunjay have no children together, which is mostly why Mahtani has nothing to do with the Kapur family battle at the moment. In 2003, three years after ending his marriage with Nandita, Sunjay married Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. Karisma and Sunjay share two children, Samaira and Kiaan. Sunjay and Karisma decided to part ways in 2014. At the time of his death, Sunjay Kapur was married to Priya Sachdev. The couple are parents to a baby boy, Azarius. Sunjay had also adopted Safira, Priya Sachdev's daughter from her first marriage to actor-hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Recent developments surrounding Sunjay Kapur's estate have put his family dynamics in the spotlight. After Sunjay's unexpected death on June 12, 2025, a complex inheritance battle has begun, with his Rs 30,000 crore empire hanging in the balance. While Karisma Kapoor and Priya Sachdev are both part of the current Kapur family inheritance dispute, Nandita has mostly been out of the spotlight. Who is Nandita Mahtani? Nandita Mahtani was born into a family of business owners, Manu and Indu Mahtani. Her brother Bharat Mahtani is also a well-known businessman. She kickstarted her career as a fashion designer in 1998. Nandita joined her sister, Anu Hinduja, in her business endeavours when she launched her fashion label, Ananya, in 2000. Anu Hinduja is married to businessman Sanjay Hinduja. Later, Nandita launched her signature label, Nandita Mahtani, with outlets in Mumbai, Goa and London.

The designer debuted a clothing line with cartoon themes in 2019 after partnering with the American television network Cartoon Network. Marriage to Sunjay Kapur Nandita Mahtani met Sunjay Kapur in London, and the couple got married in 1996. The wedding was a star-studded event, but the happily ever after lasted only four years. They split in 2000. After the divorce with Nandita, Sunjay had a much-publicised wedding with Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor. On June 22, 10 days after Sunjay Kapur's death, Nandita Mahtani reacted to an emotional post by Kapur's sister Mandhira Kapur Smith. Nandita Mahtani's Dating Life After her divorce from Sunjay Kapur, Nandita dated actor Dino Morea in the 2000s. They also co-founded a fashion brand called Playground, reported Hindustan Times. Nandita was briefly linked to actor Ranbir Kapoor, with reports indicating he had a crush on her at one point. However, neither Ranbir nor Nandita ever confirmed their relationship. Later, in an interview with The Quint, Ranbir said, "All I can say is that while growing up, I was infatuated with her. I found her beautiful, simple and warm, so unlike the socialite she is made out to be. We went out for dinners, it was nothing serious. Mum [Neetu Kapoor] knew I had a crush on her." In 2021, Nandita got engaged to actor Vidyut Jammwal. The couple even shared pictures from their proposal at the Taj Mahal in Agra. However, they broke off their engagement in 2023.

This actor replaced Ajay Devgn, starred opposite Karisma Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, gave blockbuster, then stopped working with..., he is...
Sometimes, in the world of movies, unexpected changes can lead to big breaks. There was a film in the late 90s that became a major hit and changed an actor's career forever. This actor stepped into a role that was originally meant for another famous star but ended up making the film a blockbuster. After this success, the actor suddenly stopped working with the film's director for nearly two decades, surprising many fans and industry insiders. Who is this superstar? The actor was Akshay Kumar, and the movie was Jaanwar. Initially, the lead role in Jaanwar was supposed to be played by Ajay Devgn, but due to some scheduling conflicts, Ajay couldn't take the part. This opened the door for Akshay Kumar to step in. At that time, Akshay was still on his way to stardom and this opportunity helped him gain a lot of recognition. Alongside Akshay, the film featured popular actresses Karisma Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty, whose performances also contributed to the movie's success. What was the storyline of Jaanwar and its box office reception? Jaanwar tells the emotional story of a man with a dark past who wants to change his life for the better. After adopting an orphaned child, he struggles to leave behind his old ways and become a responsible father. The film mixes action, drama, and heartfelt moments, making it a hit with audiences. Released in 1999, Jaanwar performed very well at the box office, earning over Rs 25 crore, which was made on budget of Rs 4.5 crore. The film turned out to be significant success at the time and helped cement Akshay Kumar's rising stardom in Bollywood. Why did Akshay Kumar stop working with Suneel Darshan? Despite the success of Jaanwar, Akshay Kumar and director Suneel Darshan did not collaborate again for almost 20 years. The director later revealed that after their work together on Jaanwar, Akshay chose to take a different path and work with other filmmakers. Suneel Darshan mentioned in his many interviews that while their professional relationship paused, he respected Akshay's decision to explore new opportunities. This long gap surprised many, considering how well their first collaboration had done. During those years apart, Akshay Kumar continued to build his career independently, becoming one of Bollywood's most popular and versatile actors.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is a copy of Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar? Suneel Darshan reveals
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, released in 2023 and witnessed a superlative box office run in India. The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, met with extreme reactions - with some appreciating it for fearless and raw writing, while others tagged it as toxic. It also faced backlash for its Interval block being similar to the Korean movie, Oldboy. And now, veteran Hindi film director Suneel Darshan has accused Vanga of copying his story of Jaanwar (1991). In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Suneel Darshan highlighted that the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has a similar plot to his film Jaanwar, still he hasn't made any claims. When asked if he wants to remake his own film for today's audience, Suneel said, 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better.' Why Suneel Darshan chooses to stay silent Gearing for the release of Andaaz 2 on August 8, Suneel Darshan further added that he is happy that his cinema is inspiring other people even today. He said, 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters.' 'There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film,' Suneel Darshan concluded.
