Late Industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s sudden demise has been definitely shocking for the industry and his family. But soon after his death, there is a legal battle of inheritance between his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur and his children from his second marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor. Amid the legal dispute that remains sub judice, Kapur’s sister Mandira Kapur Smith has made some shocking revelations. She accused Sanjay’s third wife, Priya, of his broken marriage with Karisma Kapoor.

In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Mandira Kapur Smith said, “I had known about them (Priya and Sunjay) since they met on that flight, and I wasn’t happy about it. Lolo (Karisma) and Sanjay, my brother, were in a good place, actually. Kian was born. My brother was obsessed with his kids. I think for another woman to not care about a woman who’s just had a child is in bad taste. To come and disrupt a family is in bad taste. And I will leave it there. I think the world knows what I’m saying. You don’t break up a happy marriage. Not even a happy marriage, you don’t break up a marriage that is trying to work on keeping a family together. When you’ve got a child, you’ve just had another child, you step aside and say, ‘You know what?’ Or you encourage the man to go back and make it work. You don’t destroy a marriage. And Lolo did not deserve that. Lolo was also working very hard to make this marriage work. She did not deserve what came to her.”

Mandira Kapur Smith revealed that the entire family, including her late father, opposed the relationship between Sunjay and Priya. She added, “He kind of convinced me that, you know, this was the one for him, and she was this way and she was that way. And I had a trip with my mother, my father, my sister, my brother-in-law in Goa. And Dad was totally against Priya. He said, ‘He can never marry her. I don’t ever want to see her face. And they can’t have children.’ That was very clearly said. So, you know, that’s the reality: no one in this family stood by this. Nobody stood by them getting married. Nobody stood by them. I did it because I love my brother. But for me, Lolo had the children, she had everything. They should have made it work. She should have been allowed to have her husband.”

Mandira also stated that she and her sister did not attend the wedding of Sanjuy and Priya in 2017. She said, “Actually, my sister and I didn’t even go for the wedding. We didn’t even go to New York for the wedding. I was very clear that my father was against this, and I wasn’t going to stand by it. If dad was here, this wouldn’t even have happened. If he was here, Priya won’t be a part of this family. My mother had to go because she was living with my brother. And she was very upset that we hadn’t come, but I think we were very clear that we could not support this, because the only thing Dad said to him was: ‘Do not get married and do not have kids.’”

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur tied knot in 2003. They had two children, Samaira, born in 2005, and Kiaan, born in 2011. But their marriage ended on a very ugly note in 2016 after a prolonged battle.
