Priya Sachdev 'Destroyed' Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay Kapur's Marriage, Claims Sister Mandira Kapur Smith

Karisma

Kapoor’s former husband, industrialist Sunjay Kapur, died of a massive heart attack. According to the reports, he was playing polo when he suffered a massive heart attack. He passed away in the UK at the age of 53. Kapur apparently swallowed a bee, and the sting in his throat caused a heart attack. Now, amid all of the property and estate feud, Sunjay’s sister, Mandira Kapur Smith, has spoken out — accusing his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, of being the reason behind his separation from actress Karisma Kapoor.

Sunjay Kapur's Sister Makes Shocking Claims

In an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Mandira recalled the time her brother’s marriage began to fall apart, saying she had known about Sunjay’s growing closeness with Priya and had never approved of it. She said, "I had known about them (Priya and Sunjay) since they met on that flight, and I wasn’t happy about it. Lolo (Karisma) and my brother were in a good place, actually. Kian was born. My brother was obsessed with his kids." Further, she added, "I think for another woman to not care about a woman who’s just had a child is in bad taste. To come and disrupt a family is in bad taste… You don’t break up a happy marriage, or even one that’s trying to work. When you’ve just had another child, you step aside. You don’t destroy a marriage. And Lolo did not deserve that. Dad was totally against Priya. He said, ‘He can never marry her. I don’t ever want to see her face. And they can’t have children.’ Nobody in the family stood by them. I did it because I love my brother, but for me, Lolo had the children, she had everything. They should have made it work."

"My sister and I didn’t even go for the wedding. We were very clear that we could not support it because Dad had said, ‘Do not get married and do not have kids.’ We weren’t actually talking then… I think she was upset with me, and I don’t blame her. I feel bad because she was my best friend. I should have stood up for her," she concluded. For the unversed, Sanjay and Karisma were married in 2003 and have two children – daughter Samaira and son Kiaan together. The couple separated in 2014, and their divorce was finalized in 2016. In 2017, Sunjay married model Priya Sachdev, with whom he shares a son, Azarias. He also co-parented Priya’s daughter, Safira Chatwal, from her previous marriage.
