In the glitzy and glamorous life of celebrities, where it’s usually their glimmering life that takes over the headlines, recently, a post of Priya Sachdeva sharing her real emotions created a buzz. On what would have been Sanjay Kapur’s 54th birthday, his wife Priya Sachdev Kapur shared a deeply emotional note that read, “My Sunjay, I know you are watching over me.”
This post of Priya Kapur came amid the legal dispute over his reportedly Rs 30,000 crore estate, also involving the children from his second marriage to former wife and actor Karisma Kapoor. This case has been going on for months now and has been the biggest inheritance battle in the business and Bollywood circles.
Sanjay Kapur’s Sudden Demise
Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, in the UK at the age of 53 after suffering a heart attack during a polo match. His sudden demise left everyone shocked. Sunjay was widely known for his family’s business legacy and for his high-profile personal life that spanned glamour, sports, and corporate power.
Priya Kapur’s wish for Sanjay Kapur
Priya Kapur, who was Sanjay Kapur’s third wife, got married to him in the year 2017. The two were seen together in social gatherings; however, they mostly stayed away from the limelight.
Taking to her Instagram, Priya Sachdeva wished her late husband a happy birthday, quoting a shloka from the Bhagavad Gita in an Instagram post.
“Whatever action a great man performs, others follow. Whatever path he walks, the world pursues.
“He who lives with purpose and love never perishes, for the divine dwells in all who serve with devotion.”
– Bhagavad Gita 3.21, 9.31, 9.29
Her caption further added, “You lived these words without ever needing to speak them. You led with kindness, not command. You built with courage, not pride. You gave without expecting, because giving was your nature.
“I watched you move through storms with grace, carry burdens with calm, and turn every challenge into purpose. You never spoke of faith, you lived it. You believed in doing, not declaring.”
Priya Sachdev Kapur wrote, “Even now, your presence feels like quiet strength beside me. In the laughter of our son. In the walls you built with vision. In the stillness of evenings where I feel your peace. They say a great man’s actions guide the world, but for me, your greatest act was how you loved, selflessly and completely.”
About the legal battle
Speaking of the ongoing legal battle, as per the reports, late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000-crore estate has intensified, with his children from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor alleging that their father’s will is “forged.”
Appearing for Samaira (20) and Kiaan (15) on Tuesday, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani told the court that the will was fabricated to “disinherit” Sunjay’s children from his previous marriage.
Jethmalani also said that even Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, was sidelined from the will, stating, “Only Priya Kapur profits from this forged will.” He pointed to several discrepancies, including the use of “feminine pronouns… to describe him (i.e., Sunjay Kapur)” in the document that names Priya Sachdev Kapur as the primary beneficiary.
