Following the sudden and tragic death of Sunjay Kapur, Karisma Kapoor was seen making her first public appearance as she headed to Delhi with her children, Samaira and Kiaan, for his funeral. Sunjay Kapur, Karisma's ex-husband, passed away on June 12, 2025, at the age of 53, reportedly from a cardiac arrest.
Sunjay Kapur's sudden demise has sent shockwaves through both the business and Bollywood circles. He was the chairman of Sona Comstar, a business conglomerate. Reports indicate that he collapsed while playing a polo match in England and could not be revived. Some reports suggest a bee sting may have triggered the heart attack.
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur married in 2003 in a high-profile ceremony. Their marriage, however, went through a tumultuous period, ultimately leading to their divorce in 2016 after a prolonged legal battle. Despite their separation, they remained parents to their two children, Samaira and Kiaan, who are now 20 and 15 years old, respectively.
Sources close to the family have indicated that Karisma has been receiving support from friends and family during this difficult time. While she has not issued any public statement, her presence in Delhi for the funeral underscores her commitment to her children and their need for support as they mourn their father.
Sunjay Kapur's funeral is scheduled to take place today, June 19, 2025, in Delhi at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground. A prayer meeting is planned for June 22nd at the Taj Palace Hotel in Delhi.
Sunjay Kapur's death has brought back into focus his personal life, particularly his relationship with Karisma Kapoor. Old interviews have resurfaced, including one where Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, expressed his disapproval of Sunjay.
His last social media posts, which reflected on the fleeting nature of life, have also gained attention. Just days before his death, he encouraged people to embrace life and live without hesitation.
Sunjay Kapur's unexpected passing has left behind a complex legacy. Besides his business achievements, he will be remembered for his connections to the world of Bollywood and his family.
