Randhir Kapoor takes legal route for Rajiv’s property
Veteran actor is hunting for his late brother’s divorce papers to claim his wealth
Bollywood veteran Randhir Kapoor on Wednesday informed he is trying to trace the divorce decree of his late brother Rajiv Kapoor, to produce in court. Earlier, Bombay High Court had asked Randhir Kapoor and his sister Rima Jain to submit the decree in a property-related case.
Randhir said the divorce papers are needed in order to get a probate made.
“My brother is divorced. I have got to get the probate made. For that, I need his divorce papers. He used to stay in Pune and here. I can’t find it and I am tracing it. I have put a tracer on it and people are working on it. I don’t know where he has kept it. He is not here,” Randhir informed.
Rajiv passed away on February 9. A petition was subsequently filed by Randhir and Jain to obtain letters of administration to the property and credits. According to the petition, Rajiv married Aarti Sabharwal in 2001 and they got divorced two years later.
