In this post, she also spoke about Sunjay and Priya's solid marriage and that he wanted to live for 100 years minimum for his son Azarius.
For those not in the know, Sunjay had four children. Samaira and Kiaan were his children with Karisma. Then, him and Priya had a son together, Azarias and Safira is Priya's daughter from her earlier marriage.
Kalyani wrote, 'He was someone I could rely on even if I didn't speak to him for weeks.
From driving through torrential rain when he had six hours in Delhi in between his travels, to come to calm a distraught me, monitoring me long distance or giving me guidance with my business, or to endlessly lecture me about my questionable choices, he was insufferable at times, and we bickered like siblings."
She added, 'He supported every venture of mine, be it with my Art or Rezon, spurring me on, always proud of my serial entrepreneurship.
His love for Tahira was unequivocal. The most fun person for every generation. Sunjay's dedication and commitment to whatever he took on were borderline obsessive and competitive. He had to be the best in whatever he took on. Be it polo or taking on his father's mantle in the business."
Talking about Sunjay and Priya's marriage, she expressed, 'His marriage to Priya, a strong-willed woman of great intelligence, whose opinion and advice ruled his life.

Sunjay loved public speaking and was excellent at it. But no matter the subject, Priya's name was mentioned in every other sentence. His priority was his wife and children. His pursuance of longevity of his life span is now ironic and cruel, as he told me how he had to be the fittest father for little Azarius and live a 100 years minimum.
"
She seemed deeply hurt by his demise as she added, 'I was there with Tahira watching him play his first ever polo match in wonderment of knowing it's been less than a year since he started this very difficult sport and learnt riding to begin with. How quickly and easily he went off riding into the sunset, doing something he loved the most … leaving behind a legacy of love, respect and hero worship. I am so so fortunate to have had him as part of my life.
So lucky to call him family, the third sister. So lucky to have his love, support and unflinching loyalty. My James Bond has left me and everyone whose life he touched, even if briefly, shaken, stirred and gutted."

Prominent industrialist Sunjay Kapur passed away suddenly on June 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest. A week later, Sunjay's mortal remains were brought back to Delhi, where he was laid to rest in a crematorium at Lodhi Road. For the uninitiated, Sunjay Kapur is the ex-husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, and the two shared two kids – Samaira and Kiaan Kapoor. Sunjay Kapur was one of the most well-known businessmen across the globe and had built a business worth Rs 10,300 crore. With a humongous net worth, a question that often arises is: who will inherit the money? Sunjay was married thrice. His first marriage was with Nandita Mahtani, but they parted ways in 2000. Later, in 2003, Kapur married Karisma Kapoor. However, this marriage also did not sustain. They divorced in 2016. A year later, Sunjay Kapur tied the knot with Priya Sachdev, with whom he shared a son. Who Will Inherit Sunjay Kapur's Wealth? According to a media report, Sunjay Kapur's company Sona Comstar had a net worth of Rs 31,000 crore at the time of his death. On the other hand, his personal net worth was Rs 13,000 crore. While the will of the late businessman has not been disclosed, media reports claim that the property and other assets of Sunjay Kapur will be divided among all the dependents. However, a report by One India states that Safira Chatwal will get the largest portion of Sunjay Kapur's wealth. Who is Safira Chatwal? Safira Chatwal is Priya Sachdev's daughter. Priya was previously married to American actor Vikram Chatwal. The two had a daughter, Safira Chatwal. Priya and Vikram's relationship did not work out, and the two parted ways. Further, Safira stayed with Priya, and Sunjay also accepted her as his daughter. Under Indian law, Sunjay adopted Safira as his daughter. With that, she also has the same rights as Sunjay's other children regarding his property and assets. Safira Chatwal, a 19-year-old student at Marlborough College in England, has a keen interest in international relations and contemporary geopolitical issues. Her fascination with these subjects began during her time living in India. She is also the founder of Diplomacy 2030.

Last Updated: Priya Sachdev calls Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur's kids her own, saying 'We have four children.' She highlights trust, friendship, and Gen Z parenting. Just days before the sudden passing of businessman Sunjay Kapur, his wife Priya Sachdev opened up about their blended family, parenting Gen Z kids, and her warm equation with Sunjay's ex-wife, actor Karisma Kapoor. In a candid interview with Siddhant Digvijay Jaitha, Priya reflected on modern-day parenting, emotional intelligence, and the importance of creating a healthy home for all the children they co-parented together. Speaking about how parenting today differs from her own upbringing, Priya said, '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." The mother of two also emphasized the importance of trust and emotional safety. '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," she shared. Priya, who married Sunjay in 2017, included his children with Karisma—Samaira and Kiaan—as her own. 'We have a 20-year-old, a 18-year-old, a 15-year-old and a 6-year-old," she said, referring to their combined family of four children: Samaira (20), Safira (18), Kiaan (15), and Azarius (6). In a previous interview with Kin and Kindness, Priya had also touched upon the evolving relationship with Karisma Kapoor, showing how maturity and shared love for the children helped them overcome past differences. '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," she revealed. She continued, '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." Sunjay Kapur, who passed away on June 12, 2025, at the age of 53, had married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple had Samaira and Kiaan before their divorce was finalized in 2016. He married Priya Sachdev the following year and later welcomed Azarius. Their family bond, despite its unconventional shape, was rooted in empathy, understanding, and mutual respect—something Priya Sachdev continues to honour in her heartfelt recollections.
