On June 12, 2025, Sunjay Kapur, the 53-year-old head of Sona Comstar, a major car parts company, passed away during a polo game in the UK. The company says he had a heart attack, but some people talk about a bee sting causing trouble. Was it just a heart problem, or is there more to know?
A Big Name in Business and Sports
Sunjay Kapur was a key figure in India’s car industry. He led Sona Comstar, based in Gurugram, to supply parts to big car brands worldwide. Born into the Sona Group family, he studied at The Doon School and Harvard Business School, mixing smart ideas with business skills.
He also loved polo, playing it with energy and skill. Kapur helped groups like the Confederation of Indian Industry and gave to charity. His personal life got attention too—he was married to actress Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016, with two kids, Samaira and Kiaan. Later, he married Priya Sachdev in 2017, and they had a son, Azarias.
What Happened That Day
During a fast-paced polo match in the UK, Kapur suddenly fell and could not be saved. Sona Comstar said it was a heart attack, surprising many since he seemed fit. Then, a rumor started, with business expert Suhel Seth and others saying Kapur might have swallowed a bee. They think a sting in his throat could have caused a bad reaction, maybe leading to the heart attack. But the company’s statement doesn’t mention a bee, so it’s not clear.
Can a Bee Sting Kill?
A bee sting sounds odd, but doctors say it can be dangerous. If someone is allergic, a sting can cause swelling, trouble breathing, or even heart stress, called anaphylaxis. A sting in the throat might block air or hurt the heart, especially during a tough game like polo. Some say a rare condition, Kounis syndrome, could make a heart attack happen after a sting. But without proof Kapur was allergic or had heart issues, this is just a guess.
India Feels the Loss
Kapur’s death hit hard. His family, including Karisma Kapoor and their kids, is heartbroken. Friends like Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are supporting them. People in business and polo shared their sadness online, praising Kapur for making Sona Comstar a global name and for his love of the sport.
Unanswered Questions
Did Kapur have a hidden allergy? Was his heart weak before? Could polo’s hard work make a bee sting worse? Without a full medical report, we don’t know. The heart attack is the official reason, but the bee sting story keeps people curious.
This sad event reminds us that health problems can strike anyone, even those who seem strong. Regular doctor visits and knowing about allergies are important, especially for active people.
A Life to Remember
Sunjay Kapur lived big, building a top company and shining in polo. His work and passion touched many in India and beyond. While questions about his death remain, his mark on the world stays strong. India says goodbye to a leader whose energy inspired so many.
