Mogul Sudhir Ruparelia has fallen out AGAIN with his only legitimate son, Rajiv, with the latter fleeing the country once more time.
But this time, he (Rajiv) has not sought sanctuary at one of dad’s properties in London, United Kingdom.
He has instead gone to his father in law’s home where he’s babysitting. Nothing else.
Rajiv accuses his billionaire papa of treating him like a messenger. And he decided, enough is enough. To hell!
“I would rather babysit my daughter than be my dad’s messenger,” Rajiv told close pals before he left the country around September last year.

Rajiv is married to Naiya, a daughter of wealthy British couple Sudheer and Rita Khagram. We hear Rajiv, once his dad’s most trusted person, now spends his days playing hide and seek with his 22 months old daughter.
“Unlike last time, he’s refused to go to one of his dad’s houses. He wants nothing to do with daddy. Enough is enough,” a close family source told us.
According to close family sources, Rajiv is protesting being thrown out of the core group to run his dad’s multi billion Ruparelia Group business. Sudhir, we can confirm, chose his daughter Sheena as the caretaker, leaving Rajiv only at best as a messenger in the company.
This, as expected, did not go down well with him.
Some time last year, he (Rajiv) stormed out of the plush Kololo home and settled in one of their apartments in Bukoto. While there, he hatched a plan with his wife to resettle in London in September, leaving Sudhir devastated and heartbroken after he had grown a very close bond with his granddaughter.
And to make matters worse, Rajiv has even blocked all his dad’s phone contacts.
“Rajiv is simply done with his dad,” the family source added.
This is not the first time the father and son pair are falling out.
In May 2022, the two almost went native when Sudhir froze Rajiv’s money taps and fired him from the company, accusing him of extravagance. Then, Rajiv was the Managing Director of Ruparelia Group.
Rajiv would spend extravagantly on alcohol, bunga parties and other ‘unnecessary’ items.
One time, he drunkenly ordered for 4 state of the art bikes worth $100,000 each.
He even never rode any.
After their fallout then, Rajiv left for London but later the two patched up their differences. Rajiv returned hoping to take over once again as the MD of Ruparelia Group.
Instead, the position went to his sister Sheena, a move that has completely broken the relationship between father and son.
While it is said Sudhir would one day want to handover his business to Rajiv, he feels the son is not ready. He’s not even sure if he’ll ever be ready.
