Karisma Kapoor Grieves Ex-Husband Sunjay Kapur’s Tragic Death in London

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor is reeling from the sudden loss of her former husband, business tycoon Sunjay Kapur, who passed away on Thursday, June 12, 2025, in London at age 53. Early reports indicate that Kapur succumbed to a cardiac arrest while playing polo, a sport he cherished. The heartbreaking news has stunned both the corporate and entertainment worlds.

On Thursday evening, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan were seen hastening to Karisma’s Mumbai home to provide solace during this difficult period. Paparazzi footage captured the couple entering her residence, highlighting the Kapoor family’s unity in times of grief. Other relatives, including Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, also visited to offer their support.

The news of Sunjay Kapur’s passing was affirmed by his friend, renowned author Suhel Seth, who shared a poignant tribute on X: “Heartbroken by the loss of Sunjay Kapur: he passed away today in England: a profound tragedy and heartfelt condolences to his family and colleagues @sonacomstar... Om Shanti.” Earlier that day, Kapur had posted on X about the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, stating, “Dreadful news of the catastrophic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My prayers are with all the affected families. May they find resilience in this challenging time.” The post, now widely shared, has left many in disbelief at the timing of his sudden demise.

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married in 2003 and share two children, daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Their marriage ended in 2013 following a prolonged legal struggle, with their divorce finalized in 2016. Despite their separation, they maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship. In 2017, Sunjay wed model Priya Sachdev, and they had a son, Azarias.

As chairman of Sona Comstar, a major player in automotive technology, Sunjay was a respected figure in India’s business sector. While he kept a low profile recently, his ties to the Kapoor family and appearances at notable events ensured ongoing public interest.

The Kapoor family has not issued an official statement. Sources close to Karisma say she is focusing on her children, surrounded by family and friends during this time of sorrow. Tributes for Sunjay continue to pour in, honoring his legacy in business and his passion for polo.
