Sunjay Kapur, businessman and former husband of Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor, passed away at the age of 53 after suffering a heart attack. According to sources cited by India Today, the tragic incident occurred while he was playing polo in England.
Sunjay was currently married to entrepreneur Priya Sachdev. The news of his sudden demise was confirmed by author and commentator Suhel Seth, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his grief. Suhel Seth is currently in Dubai for a holiday.
"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" — Suhel Seth (@Suhelseth), June 12, 2025.
Tragically, Sunjay’s final post on X was a condolence message about the Air India plane crash that occurred earlier today in Ahmedabad:
"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," he posted.
