Sunjay Kapur, a well-known industrialist and the former spouse of actress Karisma Kapoor, has died in London at the age of 53. His unexpected death has left his friends and family in shock. The funeral is set to take place in Delhi today, following a delay caused by citizenship complications.
The last rites were conducted at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in New Delhi, where Karisma and their children, Samaira and Kiaan, gathered to say their goodbyes.
A video from the funeral emerged online, capturing Karisma dressed in a white suit as she laid a floral tribute for her late ex-husband. Samaira and Kiaan stood by her side during this poignant moment, surrounded by family members.
A prayer meeting is planned for June 22 at the Taj Palace Hotel in Delhi, scheduled from 4 to 5 PM.
Earlier that day, Karisma was spotted at a private airport in Mumbai with her children, heading to Delhi. Shortly after, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan were seen making their way to Delhi to support the grieving family.
Sunjay Kapur was the chairman of Sona Comstar and a significant figure in the automotive sector. He also held the position of Chairman for the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Northern Region, overseeing operations in several states and Union Territories.
Sunjay and Karisma were married in 2003 and had two children together. They divorced in 2016 but maintained a cooperative co-parenting relationship.
