Businessman and polo enthusiast Sunjay Kapur, former husband of actor Karisma Kapoor, passed away unexpectedly on June 13 at the age of 53. The Chairman of Sona Comstar was in London at the time, where he reportedly collapsed during a polo match. As per those close to the family, Sunjay suffered a heart attack after accidentally swallowing a bee while on the field.
