Sunjay Kapur’s wife Priya Sachdev Kapur opens up about painful first marriage with Vikram Chatwal: ‘My ex in-laws apologised to me’ | Hindi Movie News

Priya Sachdev Kapur opened up about her painful first marriage to Vikram Chatwal, admitting she ignored early red flags. She revealed her ex-in-laws later apologized for not valuing her sacrifices. After a tough custody battle and divorce, Priya regained peace, saying controlling her inner voices changed her outlook on life.

Priya Sachdev Kapur recently opened up about the emotional challenges she faced during her first marriage to American hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Her candid conversation on Kin and Kindness’s YouTube channel gained widespread attention shortly after the passing of her husband, Sunjay Kapur, who died in London on June 12 at 53. Reports indicate that Sunjay, formerly married to Karisma Kapoor, suffered a fatal heart attack after accidentally swallowing a bee while playing polo.Initial Perception of the MarriageShe reflected on her past marriage to Vikram Chatwal, admitting she initially thought they were perfectly matched because “My ex-husband ticked all the boxes… He went to Wharton, worked at Morgan Stanley. I did mathematics at UCLA, a double major with UCLA and LSE… So I thought this is a perfect match.” Yet, she acknowledged that despite carefully planning her career and life, things didn’t go as expected: “You know how you do your career path, but it doesn’t always work. I thought I had it all right… but I guess I chose wrong.”Early Realization and Decision to LeaveKapur admitted that she noticed problems in her marriage quite early, particularly during her pregnancy. She said, “When I had her and I realised, a few 15 to 20 weeks into my pregnancy, I realised this marriage is not right. But I still continued to make this work.” After five years, prioritizing her and her daughter’s well-being, she made the difficult decision to end the marriage.

Support and Victory in SeparationPriya opened up about the emotional support she received during her separation, recalling how “My ex-in-laws called me apologising… I wasn’t valued or appreciated for the sacrifices I made. That was one victory.” She also endured a challenging custody battle, which she ultimately won, saying, “The divorce wasn’t easy, but I won those.” Reflecting on her mental recovery, Priya shared, “The voices in my head didn’t bother me anymore… When I controlled the voices in my head, I looked at life differently.“
