Following the sudden and tragic passing of industrialist Sunjay Kapur on June 12, 2025, rare and unseen photos from his lavish 2003 wedding to
Karisma Kapoor
have resurfaced online, sparking a wave of nostalgia.
The grand ceremony, once the talk of the town, marked the union of Bollywood royalty and Delhi high society. As Karisma and their children prepare to attend Sunjay's last rites in New Delhi, the resurfaced images offer a poignant glimpse into a once-celebrated chapter of their lives.
Sunjay and Karisma's wedding made headlines from the very start. At the peak of her stardom, Karisma tied the knot with Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur on September 29, 2003, at the iconic Krishna Raj bungalow in Mumbai.
Known for its grandeur, the wedding was reportedly a lavish affair, with the Kapoor family sparing no expense.
Check out the photos here:
Karisma's wedding was one of the most talked-about events of 2003, and the actress looked nothing short of radiant. While several videos from the ceremony circulated at the time, one moment that truly stood out was her bridal entry. Holding her sister

's hand, Karisma beamed with joy as she made her way into the venue—capturing hearts with her glowing smile and graceful presence.
As Karisma stepped onto the stage, Kareena cheered for her sister and Sunjay Kapur. Karisma and Sunjay exchanged garlands during the jaimala, looking happy and relaxed as they continued the rituals, laughing and chatting throughout.
Known as the OG queen of style and glamour, Karisma Kapoor made a statement with her wedding look. Ditching the traditional red, she chose a pink lehenga by Manish Malhotra, featuring intricate golden thread embroidery.
She paired it with a fitted corset blouse and a matching dupatta adorned with floral thread work and bold bead detailing along the border.
Karisma completed her bridal look with a diamond necklace, maang teeka, bangles, and a traditional red chooda, paired with long golden kaleeras that hung gracefully from her wrists. Her makeup featured kohled eyes, pink gloss lipstick, heavy blush, pink eyeshadow, and a touch of glitter, perfectly complementing her glamorous ensemble.
In another video, the couple looked visibly happy as they posed with family members. In one touching moment, Sunjay wrapped his arms around Karisma for a family photo. The couple was also seen taking blessings from a visibly emotional Rishi Kapoor, adding a heartfelt touch to the celebrations.
The duo welcomed two children, Samaira and Kiaan, during their marriage. While their wedding appeared joyful, the couple surprised many by filing for divorce in 2014 with mutual consent. After a prolonged legal battle, the two eventually reached a settlement and were officially divorced in 2016.

Industrialist and actress Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband Sunjay Kapur was laid to rest on June 19 in Delhi. Kapur passed away on June 12 at the age of 53. Reports claim he suffered a massive cardiac arrest which took his life. The last rites of Sunjay Kapur were performed at Delhi's Lodhi Road, where his family and friends came to pay their tributes. Among them was his ex-wife Karisma Kapoor, along with her kids — Samaira and Kiaan — whom she shared with Kapur. Karisma Kapoor was Sunjay's second wife. Kapur was previously married to designer Nandita Mahtani. However, after they parted ways, Sunjay and Karisma tied the knot in 2003. After their wedding, the couple was blessed with two kids — a daughter, Samaira Kapoor (20), and a son, Kiaan (15). As we discuss Sunjay and Karisma's kids, let's take a look at what Samaira Kapoor is doing. Who is Samaira Kapoor? Samaira is Sunjay and Karisma's eldest daughter. She is 20 years old.

Currently, she is pursuing a graduation degree at Tufts University in Massachusetts, USA. She is expected to complete her graduation from Tufts University in 2027. While her mother had been a top actress of her time, Samaira stays away from the film industry. She lives a low-key life and has a private Instagram account. However, a picture celebrating her 18th birthday with both Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur went viral on social media. Several fan pages of Samaira have been made, and some of her pictures have also been uploaded on those pages. While Karisma and Sunjay parted ways, they co-parented their kids. Following his divorce from Karisma, in 2017, Sunjay Kapur tied the knot with another actress named Priya Sachdev. The couple was blessed with a son.

Maharashtra to establish Shahir Sable research centre for experimental arts
The Maharashtra government will set up an independent research centre at the Mumbai-based P. L. Deshpande Maharashtra Kala Academy to facilitate in-depth academic study of the state's experimental arts, Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar announced on Thursday. The centre will be named after the legendary Marathi folk artist Shahir Krishnarao Sable, renowned for his iconic song Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha — officially recognised as the state song in 2023. A Padma Shri awardee (1998), Sable was a prominent figure in Maharashtra's folk art tradition and played a key role in the Samyukta Maharashtra movement. 'Maharashtra boasts a rich legacy of experimental arts, and this centre will serve as a hub for scholarly research,' Mr. Shelar said. The state's Department of Cultural Affairs has already documented various folk art forms —including shahiri, powada, jagran, gondhal, tamasha, vag natya, dashavatari, bharud, and keertan — in audio-visual formats through collaborations with universities. 'There is a pressing need to systematically classify, analyse, and academically explore these resources,' the minister stated. The initiative aims to support undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD scholars from Maharashtra and beyond who wish to delve into this field. Mr. Shelar chaired a meeting at Mantralaya to discuss the proposal and directed officials to prepare a detailed blueprint for the centre. 'Maharashtra's experimental arts are a source of immense pride, carrying deep historical and cultural significance. These traditions hold the power to inspire humanity, and it is our duty to bring their essence to light through rigorous research,' he said.
