A close friend of Prince William has sadly died after he swallowed a bee while playing in a polo match on Thursday. Sunjay Kapur, 53, a well-known Indian billionaire and chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar, is understood to have collapsed during the game which was held in England.
Just hours before his death, the billionaire businessman took to social media to pay a moving tribute to those who lost their lives in the Air India tragedy. In his final post, he wrote: “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.”
Before his shocking death, Mr Kapur was well known for his passion for polo and his famous marriages.
Mr Kapur was previously married to Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor; however, the marriage ended bitterly. She filed a domestic violence plea, explaining that he once went off to play polo while their son was very ill.
Kapoor said: “(Sunjay) decided to carry on, leaving me behind to take care of our sick four-month-old son, just to play a Polo match with Prince William.
“I also realised that he had married me only because I was a famous and successful film star, which would facilitate him to be reported in the press. It came as a surprise that he always wanted to be known in public and be famous, but since he never did any deed worth mentioning, he was not able to garner any attention.”
