In 2014, Karisma and Sunjay filed for divorce which was highly publicised. After a long legal battle, the two finalised their divorce in 2016. 

Who is Priya Sachdev

A year after their divorce, Sunjay tied the knot again. He married model-turned-actor Priya Sachdev. They have a son, Azarias.

Hailing from Delhi, Priya Sachdev is a socialite. Daughter of car dealer Ashok Sachdev, Priya has a degree in business management from the London School of Economics.

She started her career in the entertainment industry in the 2000s as a model in several commercials and ads, including Kareena Kapoor's Lux Body Wash.

Later, Priya made her Bollywood debut which remained her only film to date. She starred in a supporting role in the 2005 Yash Raj film Neal 'n' Nikki. She starred as the lead actor Uday Chopra's on-screen love interest. The film also featured Kajol's sister, actor Tanishaa Mukherji.

Before Sunjay, Priya was married to American hotelier and actor Vikram Chatwal. They got hitched in 2006 and welcomed a child together, Safira Chatwal. In 2022, Priya and Vikram divorced.

Over the years, Sunjay was seen spending time with his kids from the first marriage. 

Despite the divorce, Karisma and Sunjay came together last year to celebrate their daughter’s birthday. She had turned 18. Sunjay attended the get-together with his wife Priya and their son Azarius.

Sharing the pictures from his daughter's 18th birthday, Sunjay had posted on X, formerly Twitter, “A father holds his daughter’s hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever. Happy 18th birthday to my first love, Samaira. Welcome to adulthood. Remember to be responsible and live your life to the fullest. You are beautiful inside out. And we are all so proud of you.”
