On June 12, 2025, India woke up to sad news. Sunjay Kapur, a well-known businessman and chairman of Sona Comstar, passed away suddenly at the age of 53. He was playing polo, a sport he loved, in the United Kingdom when he collapsed. Doctors said it was a heart attack, but some people are talking about a strange story involving a bee sting. Was it really just a heart attack, or is there more to this tragedy?
Who Was Sunjay Kapur?
Sunjay Kapur was a big name in India’s business world. He was born into a family that ran the Sona Group, a company started by his father, Surinder Kapur, which makes parts for cars. Sunjay took over Sona Comstar, a Gurugram-based company, and made it famous not just in India but around the world. He worked with big car companies and earned a lot of respect.
Sunjay wasn’t just about business. He studied at The Doon School in India and later at Harvard Business School in the USA. He was smart and loved to help others. He led groups like the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) and worked with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to make India’s industries stronger.
But his real passion was polo. He was a great polo player and loved being on the field, riding horses and competing. Sunjay was also known because he was married to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016. They have two kids, Samaira and Kiaan. After their divorce, he married Priya Sachdev in 2017, and they have a son, Azarias.
What Happened That Day?
On June 12, 2025, Sunjay was in the UK, enjoying a polo match. He was fit and active, but during the game, he suddenly fell. People tried to help, but he passed away. Sona Comstar shared a statement saying Sunjay died of a sudden heart attack. Everyone was shocked because he was only 53 and seemed healthy.
Then, a strange story came up. Some people, including a businessman named Suhel Seth, said Sunjay might have swallowed a bee while playing. The bee could have stung him inside his mouth, causing a bad reaction or making it hard for him to breathe. This might have led to the heart attack. Not everyone agrees on this story, and Sona Comstar didn’t mention the bee in their statement. So, it’s still a bit of a mystery.
Can a Bee Sting Cause a Heart Attack?
It sounds weird, but a bee sting can sometimes be dangerous. Doctors say that if someone is allergic to bees, a sting can cause a serious problem called anaphylaxis. This can make it hard to breathe or cause the heart to struggle. Even if someone isn’t allergic, a sting during something active like polo could stress the body, especially if the person already has a heart issue.
Polo is a tough sport. Players ride horses fast and need a lot of energy. For a 53-year-old, even someone as fit as Sunjay, a sudden shock like a bee sting could be risky. But we don’t know for sure if this happened because no official report talks about the bee. We also don’t know if Sunjay had any heart problems before.
How People Are Reacting
Sunjay’s death has left many people heartbroken. His ex-wife, Karisma Kapoor, hasn’t spoken publicly, but her sister Kareena Kapoor, her husband Saif Ali Khan, and friend Malaika Arora were seen at her Mumbai home to support her. It must be a tough time for Karisma and their kids, who lost their father so suddenly.
In Delhi, Sunjay’s friend Shalini Passi shared her sadness. She said she was just talking to Sunjay and his wife Priya about a TV show, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, and couldn’t believe he was gone. “Everything changes in a second,” she said.
The business world is also grieving. Sona Comstar was a big success because of Sunjay, and people admired his hard work. Many business leaders and friends shared messages on X, calling him a great leader, a kind person, and a polo lover.
What Questions Remain?
The bee sting story has made people curious. Did Sunjay have an allergy to bees? Did he have a heart problem that nobody knew about? Could the bee sting and the fast-paced polo game together have been too much for him? Without a clear medical report, we can only guess. For now, the official reason is a heart attack, but the bee story keeps people wondering.
This sad event also reminds us to take care of our health. Heart attacks can happen without warning, even to active people like Sunjay. Doctors say we should get regular check-ups, especially if we play sports or have heart problems in our family.
Sunjay’s Legacy
Sunjay Kapur lived a full life. He built a successful company, played polo with passion, and cared about his family and country. His work with Sona Comstar helped put India on the global map, and his love for polo inspired others. Even though he’s gone, his story will live on.
India is mourning a man who did so much in just 53 years. As we remember Sunjay Kapur, we also wonder about the mystery of his last moments. Was it just a heart attack, or was there something more? Only time might give us answers. For now, we say goodbye to a leader, a sportsman, and a father who left us too soon.
