On June 12, 2025, the world was rocked by the sudden death of Sunjay Kapur, the 53‑year‑old chairman of Sona Comstar and ex‑husband of actress Karisma Kapoor. He collapsed during a polo match in England, succumbing to a fatal heart attack. The tragic news prompted a wave of concern about heart‑health in seemingly fit individuals.
Soon after the news broke, Karisma’s sister Kareena Kapoor and brother‑in‑law Saif Ali Khan rushed to her Mumbai home late Thursday night to offer comfort during this harrowing time. They were joined by close friend Malaika Arora, her sister Amrita Arora, and Amrita’s husband Shakeel Ladak, all arriving quietly to console Karisma and her children, Samaira and Kiaan.
The news of Sunjay’s death was confirmed by author Suhel Seth, who posted on X (formerly Twitter): “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.”
Just days before, on June 9, Sunjay shared a reflective post on X: “Your time on Earth is limited; leave the ‘what‑ifs’ to the philosophers and instead dive head‑first into the ‘why nots’…”. Earlier on June 12, he also expressed his sympathies over the Ahmedabad Air India plane crash, writing, “Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected.” His untimely passing—a day marked by both a tragic sporting incident and a national aviation disaster—struck an emotional chord.
Karisma, married to Sunjay in 2003 and divorced in 2016, shares their two children. After their split, Sunjay remarried Priya Sachdev in 2017, and they have a son together. While Karisma has yet to release a statement, the presence of loved ones at her door speaks volumes. Kareena, Saif, Malaika, Amrita, and Shakeel’s gestures underscore the strength of family bonds and support within the Bollywood circle during moments of profound loss.
