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.' ALSO READ | Priya Sachdev's 'opinion and advice ruled' Sunjay Kapur's life, she ensured his ex-wife Karisma Kapoor was part of family: 'We invited Lolo for tea…' 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.

Shweta Bachchan's Mother-In-Law Helped Karisma Kapoor Get Over Abhishek Bachchan Breakup
Shweta Bachchan is married to Karisma Kapoor's cousin, and is thus related to the Kapoors. Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan were all set to tie the knot after dating for 5 years. However, their engagement ended soon after Jaya Bachchan publicly announced it. While the real reason behind the breakup is best known to the Kapoors and the Bachchans, Karisma once opened up about the 'trauma" she experienced from the split. Karisma Kapoor told Subhash K Jha in an old interview that the breakup was a traumatic event in her life. She added, 'I want to thank the media for being so understanding and supportive. Everyone left me alone. I don't want to say anything more on this except that I couldn't have come out my trauma if it wasn't for my parents [Babita and Randhir Kapoor], sister [Kareena], my Dadiji [Krishna Raj Kapoor], my two Buas [Rima Jain and Ritu Nanda] and my close friends." Interestingly, Karisma's aunt, Ritu Nanda, has a familial relationship with the Bachchans. Ritu's son, Nikhil Nanda, is married to Shweta Bachchan. Shweta is Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan's daughter. As such, the Kapoors and the Bachchans are related. Shweta and her kids, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda, are often spotted at the Kapoors' family events. But, how are relations between Shweta and Karisma, given the history with Abhishek? As per reports, Shweta Bachchan is fond of Karisma Kapoor and helped break the ice between her and the Bachchans years after their breakup. In 2018, Shweta Bachchan launched her clothing line with a star-studded party. Karisma Kapoor also made an appearance at the event. Reports claim that Shweta and Karisma seemed to get along well. A source told Deccan Chronicle, 'There was a sincere affection between them. For years, no member of the Bachchan family spoke to Karisma. Now, Shweta has broken the ice, and rightly so. You can't hold grudges forever." Meanwhile, before this, in 2003, Karisma married Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur. They had two kids together. But their union quickly unravelled, eventually leading to a highly public and bitter divorce battle in 2014. While the couple initially filed for divorce through mutual consent, the case escalated into an ugly legal fight filled with serious allegations. Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai in 2007. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in 2011. First Published:
