The Mafatlal family feud between Atulya and his eldersister-turned-brother Ajay that gripped the city's gossip mills a few
years back is
now on hold. It will be some while till the last dispute over the
Mafatlal flat comes up in court. The other spat over the family jewels
had ended with Atulya being handed over the valuables.
The fight began in 2005 essentially over the Mafatlal bungalow on
Altamount Road. The dispute began with Aparna-turned-Ajay residing in
the house. Then it was 72-year-old matriarch Madhuri Mafatlal who
dragged her original son Atulya and his wife Sheetal to court for
placing security guards outside her house to harass her. The court
stayed such restrictive actions.
The family fight then went on to become more ugly with the three
sisters who were not party to the fight apparently taking sides too.
Sisters Kunti, Gayatri and Malavika reside close to the Mafatlal
Bungalow on Altaount Road and would visit Madhuri frequently,
especially after the death of their father four years back. Their
relations with brother Atulya and his socialite wife Sheetal were
strained but they were not "instigating'' the fight, said family
friends.
Madhuri accused Atulya and Sheetal of harassment, "high handed
treatment'' and "demands to remove other son Ajay'' from the sprawling
five-bedroom flat. Since then twists emerged in the tale with Atulya's
lawyer alleging that jewellery worth crores of rupees in the family
trust is the bone of contention.
The mother clarified that she held only inherited family jewellery. "I
hold no personal jewellery of you or for that matter of your wife and
children'' her letter said.
The family jewellery was lying in two trusts numbered 6 and 7 out of
the 15-odd trusts which were created for Atulya's benefit when he was
still a child. Atulya being the youngest and the only son had always
been doted upon by the entire family.
