Kangana Ranaut Reacts to Shocking Death of Sunjay Kapur, Karisma Kapoor’s Ex-Husband
In an incident that has left Bollywood and the business world in shock, industrialist Sunjay Kapur, ex-husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, has reportedly passed away under bizarre and tragic circumstances during a polo match in England. Actress Kangana Ranaut shared her heartfelt reaction to the incident, calling it “unbelievable” and reflective of the unpredictable nature of life in 2025.
According to initial media reports and social media tributes, Sunjay Kapur suffered a fatal heart attack after a bee flew into his mouth, blocking his windpipe during the polo match. The incident took place on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
The Unthinkable: Bee Sting Reportedly Triggers Cardiac Arrest
If early accounts are to be believed, the cause of Sunjay Kapur’s death was not a polo-related injury, but an insect sting that had catastrophic consequences. Reports claim that during the match, a bee flew into his mouth and stung him internally, leading to a blocked windpipe and breathing difficulties.
Despite reportedly attempting to pause the game after experiencing discomfort, Sunjay collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest on the field, succumbing within minutes.
No official medical statement has yet been released by authorities in the UK, but close friend and public personality Suhel Seth confirmed the death on social media.
“Deeply saddened at the passing of @sunjaykapur: he passed away earlier today in England: a terrible loss and deepest condolences to his family and to his colleagues @sonacomstar …Om Shanti,” Seth wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
