Sunjay Kapur, a well-known Indian industrialist and former husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, died suddenly on June 12, 2025, at age 53. He suffered a fatal heart attack while playing polo at the Guards Polo Club in Gland, Switzerland. Medical teams tried to save him but could not.
Just days before his death, Kapur shared a message on social media: “Your time on earth is limited; leave the what-ifs.” This showed how deeply he reflected on life’s fragility. His passing has deeply affected the business and entertainment worlds.
Kapur married Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor on September 29, 2003. They held a grand Sikh ceremony at her ancestral home in Mumbai. The couple had two children: daughter Samaira, born on March 11, 2005, and son Kiaan, born on March 12, 2011.
Their marriage faced challenges and led to a long separation. In 2014, they filed for divorce by mutual consent. However, disputes over finances and child custody delayed the process. The Supreme Court stepped in April 2016, granting Karisma custody and giving Kapur visitation rights. The divorce was finalized in June 2016.
Despite the separation, Kapur kept a close bond with his children. After the divorce, he married Priya Sachdev, a former model and businesswoman. The couple shared interests in luxury living and philanthropy.
Friends, family, and colleagues have expressed deep sorrow and paid tributes. Their words show how much Kapur’s sudden death has affected those who knew him.
