In a deeply shocking and bizarre turn of events, industrialist Sunjay Kapur, the ex-husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, has tragically passed away at the age of 53. While initial reports claimed a cardiac arrest was the cause, new emerging reports suggest something far more unexpected — a fatal bee sting during a polo match in England.
🐝 Not Just a Heart Attack: A Bee Sting May Have Killed Sunjay Kapur
Sunjay Kapur was in England on June 12, 2025, participating in a polo match — a sport he was extremely passionate about. According to early reports by News18 and NewsX, the businessman was playing when he inhaled a bee mid-game, which allegedly stung him in the throat. This triggered a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), eventually leading to a fatal cardiac arrest.
Witnesses say he appeared uncomfortable, stopped playing, and exited the field — but shortly afterward, he collapsed. Emergency assistance was called, but he could not be revived.
⚰️ Who Was Sunjay Kapur Playing Against?
On that fateful day, Sunjay was reportedly playing in a match against a team captained by Indian hotelier Jaisal Singh. The game was being held at a prestigious polo club in the English countryside.
The rare incident of an insect sting leading to sudden death has left everyone in utter disbelief. Medical experts suspect the sting caused a rapid drop in blood pressure and breathing difficulty, which, in someone unaware of such an allergy, can be fatal within minutes.
🕊️ His Final Post Before Death Was About the Air India Crash
In an eerie twist of fate, just hours before his own tragic death, Sunjay Kapur posted on X (formerly Twitter) about another heartbreaking incident — the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, where 241 people died and only one man survived.
“Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour.”

This now-viral tweet has shocked the public even more, making the timing of his own passing seem hauntingly symbolic.
⏳ “Progress Demands Bold Choices” — His Final Words on Life
Just three days before his death, Sunjay had posted another reflective message on social media, which is now being widely circulated. It read:
“Progress demands bold choices, not perfect conditions.”
Was this a hint at something deeper? Or just an innocent reflection on life? Either way, fans and followers are sharing the post as a reminder of how fragile and unpredictable life truly is.
