Who is Sunjay Kapur’s wife Priya Sachdev? All you need to know about the model who once worked with Kareena Kapoor

Priya Sachdev, the wife of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, is a well-known name in Delhi’s elite social circuit and has also had a brief stint in the entertainment industry. Her name returned to the spotlight after the sudden demise of Sunjay Kapur, who tragically passed away at the age of 53 due to a heart attack.

According to reports, the heart attack occurred shortly after he accidentally swallowed a bee during a polo match.

While many knew Sunjay for his previous high-profile marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor, his second wife, Priya Sachdev, has a story of her own. A Delhi-based model, actress, and socialite, Priya is the daughter of car dealer Ashok Sachdev. She studied business at the London School of Economics before stepping into the glamour world in the early 2000s.

Her career began with several commercials, and she gained attention after appearing in a body wash advertisement alongside Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor. This appearance put her on the radar of the entertainment industry, although her Bollywood journey was brief.

Priya had a short acting career and featured in just one film — Neal ‘n’ Nikki (2005), where she played a minor role opposite Uday Chopra. The film, which also starred Tanisha Mukerji, failed at the box office.

Before her marriage to Sunjay Kapur, Priya was married to American hotelier and actor Vikram Chatwal. The couple tied the knot in 2006 and had a daughter, Safira Chatwal. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 2011.

Priya found love again with Sunjay Kapur, and the two got married in 2017. Together, they welcomed a son, Azarias. Despite the complex dynamics from Sunjay’s previous marriage to Karisma Kapoor — with whom he had two children, Samaira and Kiaan — Priya maintained a respectful relationship with the entire family. She often shared heartwarming moments of their blended family on social media, portraying unity and mutual respect.

One such moment that stood out was in 2023 on Samaira’s 18th birthday. Sunjay, Priya, and their son Azarias joined Karisma to celebrate the occasion, showing that despite past differences, the family came together to support each other during key milestones.

Priya’s presence in Sunjay’s life was marked not just by glamour but by grace and warmth. Even as she stayed connected to her roots in high society, she remained a devoted wife and mother, building a family with dignity amidst public attention.
