Saba Ali Khan, sister of Saif Ali Khan and sister-in-law of Kareena Kapoor, is still trying to come to terms with the sudden demise of Sunjay Kapur, ex-husband of Karisma Kapoor. Sunjay, a successful entrepreneur and polo enthusiast, passed away on Friday at the age of 53 due to a heart attack while playing a polo match in London.
The incident occurred at the Guards Polo Club, where Sunjay was playing for his team, Orus, against Jaisal Singh’s team, Suzan. Eyewitnesses claim that he suddenly felt unwell during the game and despite attempts by the medical team to provide immediate treatment, he couldn’t be saved.
The news has sent shockwaves throughout the Kapoor family, with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Malaika Arora rushing to Karisma’s Mumbai residence to offer their condolences. Saba Ali Khan took to social media to express her grief, stating that she couldn’t believe the news and that it’s a tough time for the family, especially the children.
Sunjay’s post-mortem procedure has begun, and his father-in-law, Ashok Sachdev, confirmed that his body will be brought back to India after completing all formalities and that the funeral will take place in Delhi.
Sunjay was married to Karisma Kapoor in 2003, and they had two children, Samaira and Kiaan, before getting divorced in 2016. He later married Priya Sachdev and had a son named Azarius. The news of his demise has come as a shock to the film industry, business world, and the polo community, where he was an active participant.
Just hours before his death, Sunjay had expressed his condolences on social media regarding the Air India accident in Ahmedabad. Little did anyone know that his own life would come to an end soon. As a successful industrialist and polo player, Sunjay’s sudden passing has left a void in the lives of those who knew him, and all eyes are now on the upcoming funeral ceremony, which is expected to be attended by several prominent figures from the film and business industries.
