Priya Sachdev Kapur marked an emotionally heavy milestone this week — her first birthday since the passing of her husband, businessman Sunjay Kapur. Taking to Instagram Stories, Priya shared a deeply personal note, admitting the day felt especially difficult without him.
Remembering Sunjay Through His Words
Instead of a celebratory post, Priya chose remembrance. She shared a screenshot of an old birthday tweet written by Sunjay, one that captured the warmth and affection he once poured into the day.
In the message, Sunjay had described Priya as the heart of their family, his closest friend, and an extraordinary mother to their children — ending the note by calling her his “forever partner.” Years later, those words have taken on an even deeper meaning.
“Today Is a Hard Day”
Alongside the tweet, Priya wrote candidly about her grief. She shared that birthdays were always special because of Sunjay’s handwritten cards and thoughtful wishes — something she finds impossible to replace.
“I cannot celebrate my life when I have lost the love of my life,” she wrote, adding that the absence feels sharper on days meant for joy.
Finding Strength in Her Children
Despite the heartbreak, Priya also spoke about finding comfort in small, meaningful moments. Her son Azarias made her a birthday card, while her daughter Safira wished her at midnight — gestures that helped her feel Sunjay’s presence through their children.
She wrote that through them, she continues to see the same love and appreciation Sunjay once showed her, believing he still lives on in their lives.
About Sunjay Kapur
Sunjay Kapur, chairman of Sona Comstar, passed away on June 12 after suffering a heart attack while playing polo in London. His last rites were held in Delhi days later, attended by family and close associates.
He was previously married to actor Karisma Kapoor, with whom he shares two children, Samaira and Kiaan. Following their divorce, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev, and the couple welcomed a son, Azarias. Safira is Priya’s daughter from her earlier marriage to hotelier Vikram Chatwal.
Currently, Sunjay’s estate is at the centre of an ongoing legal dispute involving his family.
Final Words
Priya Sachdev Kapur’s birthday post wasn’t about candles or celebrations — it was about loss, memory, and enduring love. In choosing to honour Sunjay’s words rather than mask her pain, she offered a quiet, honest glimpse into what grief truly looks like after the world moves on.
