A polo match, a bee, and a fatal collapse?
While early reports stated that Kapur suffered a heart attack mid-match, Suhel Seth, a close friend and business consultant, claimed the heart failure was triggered after Kapur allegedly swallowed a bee during the game. According to sources quoted by news agency ANI, the bee sting may have sparked a fatal allergic reaction.

However, this claim remains unverified. In its official statement, Sona Comstar only mentioned a ¡°sudden heart attack¡± without elaborating further. Whether the bee incident was a contributing factor or not, the strange and tragic nature of his death has left many stunned.
A life of highs, heartbreaks, and new chapters
Sunjay Kapur led a high-profile personal life. His first marriage to designer Nandita Mahtani ended after four years. He then married Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor in 2003. They had two children, Samaira (19) and Kiaan (13), before parting ways in 2016. He later found love again with Priya Sachdev, whom he married in 2017. They have a son, Azarias.

A haunting last post
