The funeral of businessman Sunjay Kapur, ex-husband of actor Karisma Kapoor, turned into a deeply emotional affair as the late industrialist’s children—Kiaan and Samaira—were seen breaking down in grief. The solemn ceremony took place in Delhi on June 18, drawing close friends and family members who gathered to pay their last respects.
Karisma Kapoor, accompanied by her sister Kareena Kapoor Khan and brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan, stood firmly by her children during the heart-wrenching moments. In visuals that have now gone viral on social media, Kiaan, overwhelmed with sorrow, is seen being consoled by his mother and aunt Kareena. The 13-year-old was inconsolable, clutching on tightly as tears flowed. Samaira, Karisma’s elder daughter, also appeared visibly shaken, her face reflecting the immense emotional toll of the loss.
The family remained closely huddled together throughout the funeral, surrounded by white flowers and somber faces. Kareena and Saif’s presence added strength, as they provided emotional support to both Karisma and the children in their time of mourning.
Sunjay Kapur, who was 53, was the Chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading auto components company. He passed away suddenly in England on June 12 after collapsing during a polo match. As per a report in The Telegraph, Sunjay suffered an anaphylactic shock after a bee sting inside his mouth—a rare and fatal allergic reaction.
Despite their separation years ago, Karisma and Sunjay had maintained co-parenting roles for their children. His untimely demise has evidently left a huge void in the lives of Kiaan and Samaira. The pictures from the funeral reflect the raw, unfiltered grief of a family grappling with a sudden and tragic loss.
Many from the Bollywood industry have expressed condolences online, praising Karisma for her composure and support towards her children amid the painful goodbye.
As the Kapoor family navigates this difficult time, the images of Kiaan and Samaira mourning their father serve as a heartbreaking reminder of life’s fragile nature—and the strength required to carry on.
