Priya Sachdev opened up on Sunjay Kapur’s journey and how he faced the pressure of taking over their family business after the death of his father – Surinder Kapur, who was a pioneer in India’s auto components industry. She said, “Sunjay’s journey has been interesting as a father himself and then he lost his father, and he had to take over the business and turn it around, and he was going through a divorce at the same time. He has been through so much and we were together in it and now we have come out of it. He has become a very successful businessman.”

Talking about what attracted her to Sunjay, she said, “I found him very endearing, honest and misunderstood.” She added, “He has been misunderstood but now he is very much respected in industry. His father was a legend in his space, and now he is filling his shoes, which makes us all very proud. He’s also had to make harsh decisions and choices, and most of them have turned out well.”

Talking about Sunjay’s obsession with polo, Priya revealed that she and their kids move to England for some time during the year when Sunjay plays polo in the UK. She said, “He is still passionate about Polo. We move with him to England every year during the Polo session where he plays professional Polo.”

Karisma and Sunjay were married for 13 years before they parted ways in 2016. They had two kids — daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Sunjay and Priya tied the knot in 2017. They have a son, Azarias, who was born in December 2018. Priya also has a daughter from her previous marriage.
