Popular industrialist, Sunjay Kapur’s untimely death on June 12, 2025, at the mere age of 53 has left a void the hearts of his loved ones especially his wife and kids. As a well-known name in the business world, Sunjay’s life was closely followed by the media which increased after his ugly divorce and custody battle with his ex-wife, Karisma. However, in his final years, the industrialist had got peace in his personal life where he and his third wife, Priya Sachdev had established a cordial bond between their blended family with four kids. An old interview of Priya related to the same has recently surfaced on the internet where she referred to Sunjay’s kids with Karisma as her ‘own’.

Days before Sunjay Kapur’s demise, Priya Sachdev sat down for an interview with Siddhant Digvijay Jaitha. During the conversation, she opened up about modern day parenting and explained that children in the modern world are logical and if parents need to build a strong connection with them, they have to stay updated with the technology and latest trends. She believed that by understanding the world through AI or social media, parents could better communicate with their children. At the same time, Priya explained how building a friendship like bond with kids was the best means to establish a healthy relationship with kids.
In the same conversation, Priya shared that she had an 18-year-old daughter, Safira Chatwal (her daughter from her first marriage) and a 6-year-old son, Azarius (with Sunjay). She explained she has tried to ensure that her kids remain healthy, work out daily, have nutritious meals and stay in a safe and positive environment where they don’t fear their parents. Priya also emphasised that she saw that the younger generation wasn’t rebellious, but they were more thoughtful and evolved which is often misunderstood by society. Including Sunjay’s kids with Karisma in her family’s count, she said:
“We have a 20-year-old, an 18-year-old, a 15-year-old and a 6-year-old.”

In another conversation with Kin and Kindness, Priya reflected on her bond with Sunjay and Karisma’s kids, Samaira and Kiaan. She shared an instance where the children once asked her if they could invite Karisma Kapoor to a family event because they didn’t want her to feel left out. Priya revealed that she agreed immediately and explained that there is no place for past insecurities anymore. She mentioned that they all have grown and matured enough to understand that their children’s happiness was more important than their past issues. Talking about the bond shared by her kids, Priya said:
“We’ve had conversations, like it’s not about us anymore, or our insecurities or our issues. Our two daughters are so close also, so besides our little boy, when he was born the two girls bonded and that created the bond between Kiaan as well. And my little boy Azarius is a big fan of his older brother. Samaira and Kiaan are also from a broken home, so, for them also, their EQ is very high.”
