Producer Boney Kapoor and his actor-daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor have approached the Madras High Court to protect the Chennai property, which belonged to late actor Sridevi. The family has sought the legal route against an order of the Additional District Judge, Chengalpattu, refusing to reject a plaint filed in connection with the late actor Sridevi's property near the East Coast Road.
The plea came up before Justice TV Thamilselvi on Monday (16 March) and the hearing has been scheduled for March 26, 2026. The Kapoor family's joint civil revision petition has been stayed till then, halting all further proceedings before the district court.
A woman named Chandrabanu and her two children, M.C. Sivakami and M.C. Natarajan, had filed the suit claiming they were entitled to a share in the Chennai property. They are claiming a share in the land and seeking to declare 4 sale deeds, through which Sridevi and her sister had acquired the 4.7-acre property, as null and void.
Boney had filed a legal plea last year detailing what he describes as an attempted “fraud” by the trio. He claimed that the plaintiffs' claim was not legally sustainable and the marriage of Chandrabhanu itself was void as it was contracted during the subsistence of the first marriage, thus rendering it void ab initio under the law, constituting an act of bigamy.
Boney and Sridevi were married in June 1996 and had two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, both now actors in Bollywood. Sridevi tragically passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai.
