Industrialist Sunjay Kapur, ex-husband of actor Karisma Kapoor, died due to a heart attack in England on June 12. He was 53. At the time of his death, Sunjay was married to entrepreneur Priya Sachdev.

A former model-turned-businesswoman, Priya became Sunjay’s third wife in 2017, nearly a year after his divorce from Karisma Kapoor. She is the daughter of renowned car dealer Ashok Sachdev and was previously married to American hotelier Vikram Chatwal, with whom she shares a daughter.

Priya and Sunjay welcomed their son, Azarias, in December 2018. Known for maintaining a warm, blended family dynamic, Priya often celebrated special occasions with Sunjay’s children from his previous marriage and her own.

On screen, Priya Sachdev is best known for a brief appearance in Yash Chopra’s romantic comedy ‘Neal ’n’ Nikki’ (2005), starring Uday Chopra and Tanishaa Mukherji. She also featured in high-profile television commercials alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor, and appeared in Punjabi music videos such as Jazzy B’s ‘Soniye.’

She later stepped away from acting to focus on entrepreneurship and family life. Her close bond with her stepchildren and dedication to unity earned her admiration from social circles and the public alike.

Following the news of Sunjay’s death, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan were seen visiting Karisma Kapoor’s residence to offer support. Close friends Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, along with their family, also arrived to pay their respects.

Karisma and Sunjay married in 2003. However, their relationship soon deteriorated, leading to a contentious separation in 2014 and a divorce in 2016. The former couple share two children – daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Sunjay Kapur was the chairman of auto components giant Sona Comstar.
