Bee sting?
According to reports, Sunjay Kapur allegedly swallowed a bee and the sting in his throat caused a heart attack.
In his last post on X, the businessman had tweeted on the terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad.

Bitter divorce
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur married in September 29, 2003 in a lavish Sikh wedding ceremony held at the actress’ family residence, the Krishna Raj Bungalow in Mumbai. After a decade, the couple filed for divorce by mutual consent in 2014.
However, in 2015, they moved court to retract their consent and after a bitter court battle, the divorce was eventually granted in 2016.
That same year, Karisma filed a domestic violence case against Sunjay and his mother, alleging physical abuse and claiming that Sunjay was involved with another woman. She also levelled accusations of dowry harassment, which led the Mumbai police to summon Sunjay.
The two were also in a contentious legal battle over custody of the two children Samaira and Kiaan.
After their divorce, Sunjay Kapur had married Priya Sachdev and had a son.
