A tragic incident occurred during a polo match in England when Sunjay Kapur, a 53-year-old Indian billionaire and chairman of Sona Comstar, collapsed and passed away after reportedly swallowing a bee. Just hours before his death, Kapur had expressed condolences for the Air India tragedy. He was known for his love of polo and high-profile marriages, including one with Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor.
During the match, Kapur was stung by a bee in his mouth, potentially triggering a fatal allergic reaction. Internal stings can be dangerous, especially if the person has an undiagnosed allergy. The exact cause of death is still under investigation, but early reports suggest anaphylactic shock may have led to his sudden collapse.
As a prominent figure in both Britain's polo circles and India's high society, Kapur was well-respected for his leadership at Sona Comstar, a global automotive technology firm. He played a key role in the company's success and was involved in various industry associations. Despite his business achievements, he was also known for his marriages to Kapoor and Priya Sachdev.
Following his passing, tributes have poured in from the business community, with Sona Comstar expressing deep sadness over the loss of their Chairman. Kapur's sudden demise has left a void in both the business world and the polo community, where he was known for his vibrant personality and passion for the sport.
