Tragic Loss: Karisma Kapoor's Ex-Husband Sunjay Kapur Passes Away at 53 Due to Heart Attack
London/New Delhi, June 13, 2025 – In a shocking turn of events, businessman Sunjay Kapur, former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, passed away at the age of 53 on Thursday, June 12, after suffering a sudden heart attack. The prominent industrialist and avid polo player was reportedly playing a polo match in England when the tragic incident occurred.
Sources close to Kapur indicate that he felt suffocated during a polo game at the Guards Polo Club. He requested the match to be stopped and stepped out of the field, where he subsequently suffered a fatal cardiac arrest. Despite immediate medical intervention, he could not be revived.
The news of his untimely demise sent shockwaves through both the business and entertainment fraternities. Sunjay Kapur was the Chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading mobility technology company specializing in engineered automotive components. He had significantly contributed to modernizing his family's automotive legacy, expanding its global footprint, and becoming a key player in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. He was also an alumnus of the prestigious Doon School.
Sunjay Kapur's personal life had also been in the public eye, particularly his marriage to and subsequent highly publicized divorce from Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor. The couple tied the knot in 2003 and had two children, daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Their divorce was finalized in 2016 after a prolonged legal battle. At the time of his passing, Kapur was married to former model and entrepreneur Priya Sachdev.
In a poignant and heartbreaking coincidence, just hours before his own death, Sunjay Kapur had expressed his condolences for the victims of the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. He had tweeted, "Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour. 🙏 #planecrash." This unexpected turn of events has added another layer of sorrow to an already heavy week.
Tributes have begun pouring in from various quarters. Author and actor Suhel Seth shared his grief on X, stating, "Deeply saddened at the passing of @sunjaykapur: he passed away earlier today in England: a terrible loss and deepest condolences to his family and to his colleagues @sonacomstar...Om Shanti."
Sunjay Kapur will be remembered not only for his significant contributions to the Indian automotive industry but also for his passion for polo and his charismatic presence in social circles. His sudden departure leaves a void in the lives of his family, friends, and colleagues.
Our deepest condolences go out to his wife Priya Sachdev, his children Samaira and Kiaan, and his entire family during this incredibly difficult time.
