Tragedy at Windsor: Polo Match Turns Fatal
Billionaire businessman Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12 after reportedly being stung by a bee during a polo match in the U.K. The automotive parts tycoon was a keen polo player and had played alongside members of the royal family, including Prince William. Kapur was previously married to Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, and they had two children.
Sunjay Kapur, a billionaire businessman and polo companion of Prince William, died on Thursday, June 12, after collapsing during a polo match in England. He was 53.
Sources reported that Kapur, the chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar, died from anaphylactic shock after a bee possibly stung him in the mouth during the sporting event in Windsor.
“He was full of life, laughing, joking, then gone in an instant,” an insider revealed.
According to reports, witnesses noted that Kapur said, “I’ve swallowed something,” just before the medical incident.
A friend of Kapur’s shared: “He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal.”
Kapur was married to Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016, and they have two children: daughter Samaira, 20, and son Kiaan, 14. Following their split, Kapur married model Priya Sachdev in 2017. They shared a son, Azarias, 7.
Kapur inherited Sona Comstar from his father, Dr. Surinder Kapur, who founded the automotive component company in 1987.
In a statement regarding his death, Sona Comstar said: “We are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of our Chairman, Mr. Sunjay Kapur. He was a visionary leader whose passion, insight and dedication shaped the identity and success of our company.”
Just hours before his death, Kapur had shared his sympathies with the victims of a recent plane crash.
“Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash,” he wrote on social media. “My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour.”
Kapur’s death is just the latest tragedy for members of his family. In January, his former brother-in-law, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, was attacked and stabbed multiple times during a home invasion at his property.
Hospital staff where Khan received treatment, confirmed that the actor “sustained a major injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a lodged knife in the spine.”
Khan recovered well from his injuries, returning to work in March.
