Sunjay Kapur’s death during polo match

On June 12, 2025, industrialist and polo enthusiast Sunjay, chairman of Sona Comstar, collapsed during a match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, UK. He was 53. The Telegraph reported that he had gone into anaphylactic shock after swallowing a bee, which stung him in his mouth. Kapur was married to fashion designer Nandita Mahtani from 1996 to 2000, before marrying Karisma in 2003. The couple had Samaira in 2005 and Kiaan in 2010. They split after a long legal battle in 2016. In 2017, he married Priya Sachdev, and they have a son, Azarius.

Legal battle for Sunjay Kapur’s estate

A legal battle ensued after Sunjay’s death for his multi-million-dollar estate. Karisma approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that Priya had forged Sunjay’s will. Priya’s counsel denied these claims. Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, also alleged that Priya was underreporting her son’s bank balances. On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court concluded hearings in the contentious civil suit and reserved its orders on the interim injunction plea. They reserved judgment on the interim injunction plea, which will determine the course of the inheritance battle.
