Who Is Sunjay Kapur? Karisma Kapoor’s Ex Husband Dies In England

Sunjay Kapur married actress Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple had two children — Samaira and Kiaan. After a troubled relationship, they filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalized in 2016. Karisma received custody of the kids, while Sanjay was granted visitation rights.

Sunjay Kapur is believed to have suffered a heart attack while playing polo. However, some reports suggest that he may have accidentally swallowed a bee during the match, which could have triggered or contributed to the fatal incident.

Sunjay Kapur came from a prominent industrialist family and was married three times. He first married Nandita Mahtani, then actress Karisma Kapoor (2003–2016), with whom he had two children — Samaira and Kiaan. In 2017, he married Priya Sachdev, and the couple has a son named Azarias. Priya also has a daughter, Safira, from a previous marriage, making theirs a blended family.

Sanjay (Sunjay) Kapur was a prominent Indian industrialist, former husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, and Chairman of Sona Comstar, with an impressive educational background and sporting passion. Born in 1965, he graduated from prestigious institutions including MIT and Harvard, and led several influential companies in the automotive sector—earning respect in both business and social circles. 

Just hours before his sudden death, Sunjay Kapur shared a heartfelt post mourning the victims of the Ahmedabad plane crash, offering prayers and support to affected families. The post has now gone viral as his final public message, making his passing even more tragic and poignant.

Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour. 🙏 #planecrash
