The sudden and untimely death of Sunjay Kapur in London last week has sent a wave of shock and sadness across multiple spheres of Indian public life. From the high-powered boardrooms of the business world to the vibrant arenas of motorsport and the glittering circles of Bollywood, his passing has left an undeniable void. Sunjay was not only a respected industrialist—known prominently as the chairman of Sona Comstar, a global leader in automotive technology — but also a public figure whose name often made headlines due to his former marriage to acclaimed Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. His dynamic personality, professional achievements, and social connections made him a familiar face in elite circles.
News of his death came as a surprise to many, as he was reportedly active in his business engagements and had maintained a relatively low public profile in recent years. Friends, colleagues, and members of the entertainment industry expressed deep sorrow at his sudden departure, remembering him as a sharp entrepreneur, a motorsport enthusiast, and someone who had gracefully balanced a life in the limelight and behind the scenes.
While the news broke in India, official processes tied to Sunjay’s U.S. citizenship delayed immediate arrangements for his last rites. His remains were repatriated after legal formalities were completed, and the family has now announced that his funeral will be held in New Delhi on June 19. The service is expected to draw attendance from key figures in industry, media, and entertainment — a reflection of the many lives he touched.
