Karisma Kapoor’s ex-husband Sanjay Kapur dies at the age of 53

Businessman Sanjay Kapur, the former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, tragically passed away at the age of 53 due to a sudden heart attack. According to Indian media reports, the incident occurred while he was playing polo in the UK. Although he was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital, medical professionals were unable to revive him.

Renowned actor and author Suhel Seth confirmed the heartbreaking news on the social media platform X. He wrote, “I am deeply saddened by the demise of Sanjay Kapur. He passed away today in the UK. Heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.”

People best knew Sanjay Kapur not just for his business ventures but also for his high-profile marriage to Karisma Kapoor. The couple tied the knot on September 29, 2003, in a grand Sikh wedding held at the Kapoor family’s iconic Krishna Raj Bungalow in Mumbai. Their union lasted over a decade, but the relationship eventually turned rocky, leading to a formal separation in 2014 and a finalized divorce in 2016.

Despite briefly attempting reconciliation, the marriage ended on a bitter note. Karisma later accused Sanjay and his mother of domestic violence, citing physical abuse and alleging his involvement in an extramarital affair during their marriage.

Together, Sanjay and Karisma shared two children—Samaira and Kiaan—who now live with Karisma. Following their separation, Sanjay Kapur moved on and married Priya Sachdev, marking a new chapter in his personal life.

His sudden death has sent shockwaves through both the business and entertainment communities. Many have taken to social media to express their grief and extend their condolences. Although his life included public controversies, many remember Sanjay Kapur for his charisma, business acumen, and presence in India’s elite social circles.
