Sunjay Kapur’s Sister Claims He And Karisma Tried To Reconcile After Kiaan’s Birth: ‘He Was Trying To Fix His Marriage’ | Bollywood News

In a new interview, Sunjay Kapur’s sister Mandhira Kapur Smith revealed that her late brother and Karisma Kapoor were working to mend their marriage after their son Kiaan’s birth.

The Kapur family has once again found itself in the spotlight after Mandhira Kapur Smith, the sister of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, made explosive claims about his third wife, Priya Sachdev. In a candid conversation with entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani, Mandhira alleged that Priya was responsible for causing a rift between Sunjay and his second wife, actor Karisma Kapoor.

The comments come in the wake of Sunjay’s passing, which has reportedly triggered a ₹30,000 crore inheritance dispute between Priya and the children he shared with Karisma Kapoor.

‘She Used To Message Him Constantly When He Was With Lolo’

Speaking about the circumstances that led to the breakdown of Sunjay and Karisma’s marriage, Mandhira claimed that Priya Sachdev pursued her brother during a vulnerable period in his relationship.

“Yes, she used to message him constantly when he was with Lolo, and I know this for a fact,” Mandhira stated. “It’s as simple as men are men. He was in a marriage, working on it, trying to fix it. He was not in the most stable place to say, ‘Hey, I’m not interested.’”

Mandhira accused Priya of knowingly inserting herself into a family that was attempting reconciliation. “As a woman, when someone has had a child and another child, and you’ve also just gotten divorced, you know how painful it is. Then how and why would you come and break another family? What kind of upbringing is this? What kind of woman is that?” she questioned.

‘Had He Been Left Alone, It Would Have Worked Out’

Mandhira went on to claim that her brother was trying to save his marriage with Karisma, encouraged by their father and family. “There was a lot that happened that wasn’t nice, but my father wanted them to work on it. Sanjay was going back and forth. They had a second kid— that doesn’t happen out of thin air. It happens when you’re working on a marriage,” she said. “Had he been left alone, it would have worked out.”

She acknowledged that Karisma had briefly returned to Mumbai due to unhappiness in the relationship but maintained that Sunjay was committed to repairing it. “I know it takes two to clap, but as women, we know a man’s weaker and a woman is always stronger,” she added.

Priya Sachdev’s Earlier Remarks On Her Marriage

Priya Sachdev, in a previous interview on the YouTube channel Kin and Kindness, had shared her side of the story, revealing that she met Sunjay while he was traveling between Delhi and Mumbai for work. “We became friends, and our friendship eventually led to our marriage after his divorce from Karisma,” she said.

Speaking respectfully of Karisma and her children, Priya remarked, “Sunjay’s previous marriage was not a conventional marriage. He had two beautiful children from that marriage. We love them dearly and today we are one beautiful blended family.”

The resurfacing of Mandhira’s claims has reignited public curiosity around one of Bollywood’s most talked-about relationships. While neither Priya nor Karisma has responded to the latest allegations, the Kapur family’s internal dynamics continue to draw attention years after their high-profile separations.
