For the uninitiated, after the demise of Bina Modi’s husband, K.K. Modi back on November 2, 2019, the former decided to continue the family trust. Interestingly, Bina’s kids, Samir Modi and Charu Modi, supported her. However, Lalita Modi was the one, who opposed her mother’s decision and demanded the dissolution of the family trust. Things took an intense turn when Lalit Modi announced his son, Ruchir Modi as the head of the brand and beneficiary of the KK Modi Family Trust.

Revealing the reason behind his decision, Lalit Modi shared that he wanted to retire so that he could groom his kids, Ruchir Modi and Aliya Modi. The feud over KK Modi Family Trust shows no signs of closing soon.

The final hearing of the dispute was scheduled for November 2023. Since then, there’s been no official update on the case, and now Samir Modi’s feud with his mother, Bina Modi, over Rs. 11,000 crore inheritance case has overshadowed it completely.
