Priya Sachdev, Sunjay Kapur’s wife, changes Instagram name nearly a month after husband's death amid Rs 30,000 crore property dispute

It’s been almost a month since businessman Sunjay Kapur passed away in a tragic incident during a polo match in the UK. While the official cause was said to be cardiac arrest after he accidentally swallowed a bee, his sudden death has left many unanswered questions, especially within his family.

Now, fresh developments have once again brought the spotlight back.

Sunjay’s wife, Priya Sachdev, has recently made some quiet but noticeable changes online. Just days after being appointed as a non-executive director at Sona Comstar, the auto parts company once chaired by Sunjay—Priya updated her Instagram profile.


She changed her display name from Priya Sachdev Kapur to Priya Sunjay Kapur. Her bio was also updated to include her professional roles: Mother. Entrepreneur. Investor. Director, Aureus Investment. Non-Executive Director, Sona Comstar.

However, her Instagram account now seems to be unavailable, sparking even more speculation online.

Sunjay’s mother cries foul

Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, has openly raised concerns about her son’s death. In a statement to ANI, she claimed she was made to sign multiple documents without being properly informed. She suspects something isn’t right and is now demanding clarity.

“I still don’t know what happened to my son,” she said, adding that all she wants now is some peace and closure in her old age.

Rani also looked back at the early days of the company, Sona, which she said was built with “care, sacrifice, and love.” She stressed the importance of protecting her late husband’s legacy.

Due to her age and health, Rani said she won’t speak to the media again. Her lawyers will now handle all legal matters.

A legacy in question

Sunjay Kapur’s passing has not only left a void in his family but also sparked a legal storm, especially with reports of a Rs 30,000 crore property dispute. With Priya’s new role in the company and her name change, many are wondering what comes next in the fight over business, legacy, and family rights.

The last rites of Sunjay Kapur were held in New Delhi. As the mystery around his death deepens and legal battles begin, the Kapur family is now caught between grief and growing questions.
