On October 15, the birth anniversary of Karisma Kapoor's late ex-husband and businessman, Sanjay Kapoor, was observed. If Sanjay were alive, he would have celebrated his 54th birthday on this Wednesday. The day was deeply emotional for Sanjay's family, especially his children. On this occasion, his third wife, Priya Sachdev, and actress Karisma Kapoor along with her children, Samaira and Kiaan, and sister Kareena Kapoor, all gathered to cut a cake in his memory.
Karisma Remembers Ex-Husband
Karisma's children, Samaira and Kiaan, are in the limelight as they seek their share in Sanjay's massive estate worth 30,000 crore rupees. Both are contesting their entitlements in the Delhi High Court. Sanjay passed away in June 2025, and the children have alleged in court that Priya Sachdev, Sanjay's wife at the time of his death, has committed fraud concerning his will. As this case unfolds in the court, Samaira and Kiaan took a moment on October 15 to honor their father's birthday.
Karisma Kapoor commemorated this day by sharing a photograph on Instagram in memory of Sanjay Kapoor, showing a birthday cake inscribed with 'Happy Birthday Dad.' Kareena Kapoor shared the same moment on her Instagram story, writing an emotional note for her nephew and niece. Kareena stated, 'My Samu and Kiu, Dad is always and forever watching over you.'
