According to reports, the incident occurred on June 12, 2025, during a polo match in the UK.

His sudden demise has shocked friends, colleagues, and members of India's elite circles, where he was a familiar face. Condolences have been pouring in, mourning the loss of a man remembered for his charisma, sporting spirit, and business acumen.

The news of Sunjay Kapur's death has undoubtedly deeply affected his former wife, Karisma Kapoor, and their two children, daughter Samaira and son Kiaan, whom Karisma is raising as a single parent. While there has been no official statement from Karisma Kapoor, reports indicate that her sister, Kareena Kapoor Khan, was quick to rush to her side during this difficult time.

The Kapoor sisters share a close and supportive bond. In the past, Kareena has spoken about Karisma's strength and resilience, especially regarding the challenges she faced when entering the film industry.
