I remember, when two years ago the news of Sunjay Kapur's death broke — it was a real shock to the entire business community. The 53-year-old Indian billionaire, founder of Sona Comstar, died under tragic circumstances during a polo match at one of the prestigious English clubs.



What happened — sounds almost unbelievable. During the game, Kapur accidentally swallowed a bee. The sting in his throat caused a severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, which led to heart failure. He tried to stop, but fell and lost consciousness. Medical personnel on the spot tried to save him, but it was already too late.

Sunjay Kapur was not just a successful businessman — he was considered a pioneer in the development of electric vehicles and hybrid technologies. Under his leadership, Sona Comstar became a global player. He was called a visionary leader, a person who understood the future of the automotive industry.

Kapur's personal life was as vibrant as his career. He was married three times: first to designer Nandita Mahtani, then to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, with whom he had two children, and then to model Priya Sachdev. His marriages were often discussed in the press, especially his relationship with Karisma.

What surprised everyone — was the timing coincidence. Just a few hours before the tragedy, Sunjay Kapur posted on social media expressing condolences to the victims of the Air India plane crash. And now, he himself was gone.

The news of his death sparked a wave of condolences from famous people, including journalist Suhel Seth and the Sona Comstar company itself. Sunjay Kapur's story is a reminder that even billionaires are vulnerable to unpredictable moments in life.
