Hyderabad: Industrialist and prominent automotive industry leader Sunjay Kapur, Chairman of Sona Comstar and CEO of Sixt India, passed away in England on Thursday. He was reportedly in his 50s. His close friend, business consultant Suhel Seth, confirmed the tragic news, stating that Sunjay died following a sudden heart attack.

"Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour. #planecrash," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), which turned out to be his last post.

Sunjay Kapur was once married to Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor. The couple tied the knot on 29 September 2003 in a high-profile Sikh wedding at Karisma's ancestral home, Krishna Raj Bungalow, in Mumbai. Their marriage, however, faced turbulence, and the couple filed for divorce through mutual consent in 2014. Despite a brief period of retraction in 2015, their divorce was finalised in 2016.
Very very unfortunate day.
