Who is Sunjay Kapur?

Sunjay Kapur was a prominent Indian industrialist and businessman, best known as the former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. He led Sona Comstar, an auto-components firm, and was educated at MIT and Harvard. A passionate polo player, he died while playing the sport. He would actively follow the game and would share his passion for the game by sharing his thoughts on the game through social media. 

At the time of his death, he was married to entrepreneur Priya Sachdev and shared two children (Samaira and Kiaan) with Karisma. Just hours before his passing, he posted condolences on social media following the Air India crash in Ahmedabad 

Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor`s marriage

On 29 September 2003, Sunjay and Karisma got married in a high-profile Sikh wedding ceremony at the actress’ ancestral home, Krishna Raj Bungalow, in Mumbai. In 2014, the couple filed for divorce through mutual consent. In November 2015, the couple had filed applications to withdraw their consent to it. The couple`s divorce was finalised in 2016.

Earlier, the actress got engaged to Abhishek Bachchan in 2002, but the engagement was called off after a few months. This ended their relationship of a few years and no reason was given for the break-up.

In 2016, Karisma Kapoor filed a domestic violence case against Sunjay Kapur and his mother, accusing them of physical abuse and claiming Sunjay was involved with another woman. She also filed a dowry harassment case, leading to a summons for Sunjay by the Mumbai police. The couple was already locked in a bitter divorce and custody battle.

Despite their ugly divorce, the two occasionally unite for their kids- Kiaana and Samaira. 

Sunjay Kapur later married Priya Sachdev. At the time of his demise, he was married to Priya.
