Priya Sachdev discusses including Karisma Kapoor in family
After Sunjay Kapur's sudden death, an old interview with his wife Priya Sachdev is making the rounds online.
In it, she talks about building a blended family with Kapur's ex-wife Karisma Kapoor and shares what it was like stepping into the role of stepmom.
The interview is resonating now as people look for insight into how their unique family worked.
How the initial days were like
Sachdev explained that her relationship with Kapoor grew naturally—starting with simple tea invites and eventually leading to dinners and holidays together.
The kids often wanted Kapoor around, which helped everyone feel included.
Though Sachdev was unsure at first, she said things got easier as they spent more time together.
'I could never replace Karisma as their mother...'
She highlighted how all four children—Samaira and Kiaan (Kapur and Kapoor's kids), Safira (Sachdev's daughter), and Azarias (her son with Kapur)—formed strong bonds.
Sachdev credited Azarias for helping unite the siblings, especially Samaira and Safira.
She also made it clear: "I could never replace Karisma as their mother," but found her own special place in their lives.
