Billionaire Sanjay Kapoor Dies in Accidental Incident

Billionaire Sanjay Kapoor, a close associate of Prince William, passed away on June 12 at the age of 53 in a tragic incident that has surprised many.

Reports suggest that Kapoor suffered a bee sting in his mouth during a polo match in the UK, which led to his collapse on the field.

An insider mentioned, “He was so lively, full of laughter, and then just like that, he was gone.”

Witnesses recounted that Kapoor reportedly remarked, “I swallowed something” just before he died.

Kapur was known for being the chairman and non-executive director of Sona Comstar, an auto parts manufacturer, and had formed a friendship with Prince William, largely due to their shared interest in polo.

The company shared a statement on social media, describing his death as “untimely” and indicating he may have suffered a heart attack.

In the statement, Kapur was characterized as a “visionary leader” who significantly contributed to shaping Sona Comstar into a prominent global mobility tech firm focused on innovation and sustainability.

According to a report from January 2022, anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening and affects many individuals with prior allergy history.

As of April 1, 2025, Kapoor’s net worth was reported at $1.2 billion.

Kapur was once married to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, with whom he shares two children: a daughter named Samaira and a son named Kian. They divorced in 2016.

In 2017, he married actress and model Priya Sachdev, and they welcomed a son, Azarius, in 2018.

Funeral details are expected to be announced in the coming days, according to statements from Sona Comstar.
