Sunjay Kapur’s Marriage to Karisma Kapoor Was ‘Not Conventional,’ Says Wife Priya Sachdev
Earlier this month, industrialist Sunjay Kapur tragically passed away after suffering a fatal heart attack during a polo match at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England. In the wake of his death, an old interview of his third wife, Priya Sachdev, has resurfaced and gone viral, shedding light on their relationship and the complexities of Sunjay’s past, particularly his marriage to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor.
In the resurfaced interview, Priya Sachdev opened up about their journey together and the dynamic of their “blended” family. She acknowledged Sunjay’s children from his previous marriage and reflected on how their lives came together. Without directly naming Karisma, Priya remarked, “Sunjay’s previous marriage was not a conventional marriage. He had two beautiful children from that marriage. We love them dearly, and today we are one beautiful blended family.”
Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor married in 2002 and were together for over a decade before finalizing their divorce in 2016. The separation was highly publicized, with Karisma accusing Sunjay of domestic abuse, while Sunjay alleged she had married him for financial gain. Their contentious split dominated headlines, further complicated by public statements from Karisma’s father, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor. In a 2016 interview with Hindustan Times, Randhir didn’t hold back, calling Sunjay a “third-class man” and stating, “We are Kapoors. We don’t need to run after anyone’s money… I never wanted Karisma marrying him.”
Since the divorce, Karisma Kapoor has remained single and kept her personal life away from the spotlight. In a 2022 AMA session on Instagram, when asked if she would marry again, she posted a humorous GIF of Quinta Brunson with the caption “Depends,” sparking speculation but offering no clear answer.
Despite the rocky past, Priya Sachdev’s words reflect an attempt at harmony and unity within their modern family structure. Her comments serve as a reminder of the emotional layers behind public relationships and the efforts made to create peace beyond the headlines.
