Priya Sachdev recently shared a video of her late husband, Sunjay Kapur, with their son, Azarius. She expressed her gratitude to Sunjay for teaching their son empathy and love.
December 20, 2025, marks Azarius Kapur's first birthday without his father, Sunjay Kapur. For the unversed, the businessman passed away in June 2025, leaving his entire family shattered. Now, on their son's special day, Sunjay's widow and Azarius's mom, Priya Sachdev, has shared an old video of the father-son duo.
On the evening of December 20, 2025, Priya Sachdev Kapur took to her social media handle and shared a throwback video of Sunjay Kapur reading a story to their son, Azarius. The heartfelt candid moment showed the close bond Sunjay shared with his son. In the video, Sunjay and Azarius can be seen sitting at the dinner table, as he reads him a book called The Very Brave Lion. Priya wrote about the book and its lesson in the post's caption.
Priya Sachdev shared that The Very Brave Lion was the story of a young cub who slowly learns what bravery truly means, under the gentle guidance of his father. She called the lion the "wise and compassionate king of the jungle". However, what began as a story about courage soon took on a deeper meaning. She added:
"What begins as a belief that courage is about being loud and fierce transforms into something deeper. A quiet understanding that real strength lies in kindness, empathy, and integrity. Through his father’s example, the cub learns that bravery can be gentle. That leadership is rooted in care and responsibility. That fear is a natural part of growing into one's role."
In the video, Sunjay Kapur is dressed in a simple black t-shirt, while Azarius is seen sitting on his lap, wearing a black t-shirt with a white hem on the collar and cuffs. The sweet and candid moment left the internet emotional. Priya Sachdev further thanked Sunjay for teaching their "son that true greatness comes from compassion, empathy, and love" and wished her little boy a happy birthday. A part of her caption read:
"At its heart, the story is a beautiful reflection on the bond between a father and his son. About choosing kindness in a harsh world. About loving openly. About leading with humility. The greatest legacy a father leaves behind is not fearlessness, but wisdom. Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the courage to do what is right, even when it is hard."
After Sunjay Kapur's demise on June 12, 2025, his family seemed to be going through a rough patch. For the unversed, Sunjay passed away after collapsing during a polo match in England. He reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Since then, Priya and her son have been embroiled in a nasty legal battle with Sunjay's ex-wife, Karisma Kapoor, and their children, Samaira and Kiaan Kapur.
The case centres on Sunjay Kapur's Rs. 30,000 crore estate. His mother, Rani Kapur, has accused Priya Sachdev Kapur of taking control of his assets immediately after his death and has questioned the authenticity and disclosure of the will, which makes her the sole owner of Sunjay's fortune. Priya's side maintains that the plaintiffs' narrative has changed multiple times and lacks a factual or legal basis. The matter will resume for further hearing on December 21, 2025.
