Priya Sachdev called Karisma Kapoor-Sunjay Kapur's kids her own, said ‘friendship' is the key: ‘We have four children'
Days before businessman Sunjay Kapur's death, his third wife, Priya Sachdev, had spoken about their children; she had also included Sunjay's two kids with ex-wife Karisma Kapoor, describing them as her own. In an interview, Priya shared how she keeps up with the trends, and makes the children feel heard and included.
In an interview with Siddhant Digvijay Jaitha, Priya Sachdev shared, 'Kids today are different. Unlike us, they use logic. They ask questions and you need to give them a logical explanation. There is so much more information coming to the Gen Z through their phones, internet, social media and streaming platforms. With so much content around, they are far more aware, evolved and mature than we were. They are so much more ahead even in terms of technology. To keep up with them, we need to keep a check on what is happening with the AI and tech. When we know their language, it gets much more easier to speak with them. Friendship is very important.'
She added, 'I have my 18-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son. These kids are very healthy. They workout, they eat right, and they work very hard. The way for them to do that is to create a healthy environment at home. They should never feel scared of their parents. I trust and respect our children. Gen Z are not rebellious. They don't argue back.' Counting Sunjay's kids with his second wife Karisma Kapoor, Priya Sachdev said, 'We have a 20-year-old, a 18-year-old, a 15-year-old and a 6-year-old.'

Previously, in an interview with Kin and Kindness, Priya shared the dynamics she has with Karisma Kapoor. 'The children have also requested me, saying, 'Mama doesn't have a plan… can we invite her?' Because we don't want her to feel [left out]… and I was like of course she's more than welcome because I'm confident about my relationship with my husband and she's in a very good space and she wants the children to bond with the father and so everyone's grown out of their own insecurities and issues. And we've had conversations, like it's not about us anymore, or our insecurities or our issues.'
She added, '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.'
Sunjay Kapoor died on 12 June, 2025 at the age of 53. He married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple welcomed their daughter Samaira in 2005 and son Kiaan in 2011. In 2014, they filed for a divorce with it finalising in 2016. In 2017, he married Priya Sachdev and adopted her daughter Safira Chatwal from her first marriage. Later, they welcomed a son Azarius in 2018.

As per IB Times, her past turbulent marriage with Sunjay Kapur was one of the reasons that why she wasn't ready for long-term commitment. Also, things came out in perspective when Randhir Kapoor openly told that Karisma is in no 'mood to start a family' again. Addressing the rumours, he told a leading daily, 'There's no truth to this. I would want Karisma married again, but she isn't interested. We have spoken about it and she has clearly told me she doesn't want to start a family again. She wants to raise her kids (Samiera and Kiaan) well and that's her only plan right now.'
