Sunjay Kapur, the former husband of renowned Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, has died following a heart attack during a polo match in the United Kingdom. The 53-year-old industrialist reportedly collapsed mid-game and, despite swift medical attention, was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The unexpected passing of the Delhi-based businessman has shocked both his close circle and the extended Indian business community. Kapur, who was known for his association with Sona Group, a prominent auto component company, was an avid polo player and often participated in international matches.
In a poignant twist, just hours before his demise, Sunjay Kapur had shared a condolence message on social media in response to a recent aviation tragedy in India. Friends and colleagues described him as someone deeply connected to both professional and personal commitments.
Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor married in 2004. The high-profile union was often covered in the media, particularly during their separation in 2016. After years of legal proceedings, Karisma was granted custody of their two children. She now lives in Mumbai along with her children and mother, Babita Kapoor.
Following his divorce, Kapur married model and entrepreneur Priya Sachdev in 2017. The couple had largely kept their personal life private, with Sachdev frequently sharing motivational and family-oriented posts on social media.
Sunjay Kapur’s death comes as a shock to those who knew him personally and professionally. Tributes are expected from industry peers, and a private funeral is anticipated in the UK, though official details have yet to be released by the family.
