In a deeply emotional and unexpected turn of events, Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor is mourning the sudden death of her ex-husband, businessman Sunjay Kapur. According to sources close to the family, Sunjay passed away earlier today due to a cardiac arrest at his Delhi residence. He was 58.
As news of Sunjay’s demise broke, Karisma’s younger sister Kareena Kapoor Khan, along with her husband Saif Ali Khan, was seen arriving at Karisma’s Mumbai residence to be by her side during this difficult time. The couple, who were reportedly in the middle of a scheduled shoot, canceled their commitments and rushed over immediately upon hearing the tragic news.

A Family United in Grief
Eyewitnesses described an emotional atmosphere as Kareena and Saif reached Karisma’s house. The sisters have always shared a close bond, and Kareena is known to be Karisma’s pillar of strength in both personal and professional matters. Saif, too, has maintained a warm rapport with Karisma, and the couple’s presence was clearly a source of comfort for the grieving actress.
Though Karisma and Sunjay Kapur officially parted ways in 2016 after a long and highly publicized legal battle, they shared two children—Samaira and Kiaan—whom Karisma raised as a single mother. Sources indicate that Karisma has requested privacy during this time, especially for the sake of their children, who are said to be in deep shock over their father’s passing.
Bollywood Extends Condolences
Several Bollywood celebrities, including Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, and Manish Malhotra, were seen visiting the Kapoor residence to offer their support. Social media has been flooded with condolences, with stars like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, and Rhea Kapoor expressing their sympathies.
Kareena, who has always spoken about the importance of family, is expected to remain by her sister’s side for the next few days, helping manage both emotional and logistical matters. Close friends say that despite the complicated past, Karisma is deeply shaken by Sunjay’s death.
Sunjay Kapur’s Legacy
Sunjay Kapur, the Chairman of the Sona Group, was a prominent figure in India’s corporate circles. Though his marriage to Karisma ended on a sour note, he had moved on and remarried Priya Sachdev in 2017. He continued to remain active in the business world and was known for his dynamic leadership.
Arrangements for his last rites are reportedly being made in Delhi, with the Kapoor family expected to fly out for the funeral. Whether Karisma and the children will attend remains unclear at this point.
The sudden loss has brought a wave of emotions and reflections on family, forgiveness, and the fragility of life. As Karisma Kapoor mourns this chapter from her past, the presence of her family, especially Kareena and Saif, appears to be her biggest source of strength.
