Sunjay Kapur's widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, made her first public appearance since her husband's death on Friday, officially stepping into the role of carrying forward his business legacy.

Her participation is been seen as an important moment, as it signifies her official entry into one of the industry’s top forums. The move came amid a legal battle over Sunjay's crore estate, involving his children, Samaira and Kiaan, and his mother, Rani Kapur, as well as his sister, Mandhira. All have separately accused Priya of keeping them away from the wealth.

Priya attended the ACMA meeting in the capacity of director of Aureus Investment (AIPL) and non-executive director and chairperson of the CSR committee at Sona Comstar- the company initially started by Sunjay's father and then handled by him. Sunjay also held the position of chairperson at ACMA.
