Sunjay Kapur, a prominent Indian businessman and the ex-husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, passed away in England on June 12 following a fatal heart attack. The 53-year-old collapsed while playing polo, a sport he passionately followed. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, doctors were unable to revive him.
The incident took place during a private polo match attended by several international guests. According to sources close to the Kapur family, his sudden death has left loved ones in deep shock.
Earlier that same day, Kapur posted on social media, expressing condolences to the victims of a tragic air crash in India. The post, now viewed in hindsight, reflects his compassionate nature and concern for humanitarian issues.
Sunjay Kapur married Karisma Kapoor in 2004. Their relationship drew considerable media attention, particularly as it marked Karisma’s entry into married life outside the film fraternity. The couple had two children and underwent a widely publicized divorce in 2016. Kapoor was granted full custody of their children, who now live with her in Mumbai.
After the divorce, Sunjay Kapur went on to marry model and fashion entrepreneur Priya Sachdev in 2017. The couple often maintained a low profile, though they occasionally appeared at high-society events in India and abroad.
Kapur was the CEO of Sona Comstar, a key player in the automotive technology sector, and was actively involved in promoting Indian entrepreneurship on global platforms. His passing is being mourned by colleagues from the corporate and sports sectors alike.
No official statement has yet been issued by the family regarding the funeral arrangements, though close sources indicate it may be held in London.
