Overview

• In a late July interview, director Suneel Darshan described Kapoor’s 2003 marriage to industrialist Sunjay Kapur as an abrupt decision influenced by fate.
• He said she envisioned a domesticated life but instead became a “trophy wife” in a world she never truly fit.
• Darshan noted they were childhood friends with no prior romance and called both her breakup with Abhishek Bachchan and subsequent marriage swift, fate-driven decisions.
• The remarks, made to journalist Vickey Lalwani, underscore the cultural clash between Kapoor’s Mumbai upbringing and the Kapur family’s opulent Delhi lifestyle.
• The director’s on-record reflections have provoked fresh scrutiny of her decade-long marriage dynamics after Kapur’s June death.
