Sunjay Kapur’s death

Sunjay collapsed while playing polo on June 12 in England. While initial reports attributed his death to a heart attack during the game, later speculation suggested the cardiac arrest may have been triggered by an allergic reaction to a bee sting. However, there is no official confirmation on the exact cause of death.

Sunjay got married to Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple had two kids - Samaira (19) and Kiaan (13). In 2014, Karisma and Sanjay filed for divorce through mutual consent. Their divorce was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev in 2017. The couple have one son - Azarias. At the time of his death, he was married to Priya.
