Azarius Kapur, the youngest son of the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, celebrated his seventh birthday on Saturday, December 20. To mark this poignant milestone, his mother, Priya Sachdev, shared a deeply personal and nostalgic video that offered a rare glimpse into the tender bond between the father and his son.
A Father's Gentle Bravery: The Video Tribute
In the old video clip shared by Priya, Sunjay Kapur is seen seated at a dinner table with a young Azarius, engrossed in reading a children's book titled The Very Brave Lion. Accompanying the video, Priya penned a reflective caption that drew powerful parallels between the story's message and Sunjay's own philosophy of parenting.
She described the book as a tender tale where a lion cub learns the true meaning of bravery from his wise and compassionate father, the king of the jungle. "Bravery can be gentle," Priya emphasized, noting that the story moves from a belief that courage is about being "loud and fierce" to a quiet understanding that real strength is found 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," Priya wrote. She saw the narrative as a direct mirror of Sunjay's relationship with Azarius, calling it "a beautiful reflection on the bond between a father and his son."
The Legacy of Wisdom Amidst Legal Strife
Priya concluded her emotional note with a tribute to the legacy Sunjay left for their son. "The greatest legacy a father leaves behind is not fearlessness, but wisdom," she stated. She defined bravery not as the absence of fear, but as the courage to do what is right even when it is difficult, thanking Sunjay for teaching their son that true greatness stems from compassion and love.
This heartfelt birthday remembrance unfolds against the backdrop of an ongoing legal dispute concerning Sunjay Kapur's substantial estate. Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12 after collapsing during a polo match in England, with reports indicating a sudden cardiac arrest.
The Rs 30 Crore Estate Inheritance Dispute
Following his untimely death, Priya Sachdev and her son Azarius have become involved in a legal battle over Sunjay Kapur's estate, valued at approximately Rs 30 crore. The case was initiated by Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, who has alleged that Priya took control of his assets immediately after his death. She has also raised questions regarding the authenticity and full disclosure of his Will.
In response, Priya's legal representatives have contended that the narrative presented by the plaintiffs has "changed multiple times" and lacks "any factual or legal basis." The matter is scheduled to resume for further hearing in court.
Thus, the celebration of a young boy's birthday is intertwined with a mother's effort to preserve the softer memories of his father's love, even as a more complex battle over inheritance and legacy continues to play out in the legal arena.
