Tragically, Sunjay passed away on Thursday during a polo match in England. He reportedly swallowed a bee mid-game, leading to a sting in his throat that caused anaphylactic shock.
The severe allergic reaction triggered a fatal heart attack, and he collapsed on the field. Experts note that internal bee stings can cause sudden airway blockage and cardiac arrest.
Just hours before his death, he posted a condolence message on X (formerly Twitter), mourning the victims of the
Air India plane crash
in Ahmedabad. His sudden passing has sent shockwaves through British high society as well as India's business and entertainment communities.

Sunjay Kapur married model Priya Sachdev in 2017, and the couple has a son named Azarias. His sudden and tragic passing has left many in mourning—from Delhi's business circles to the royal polo grounds of London.

David Beckham trying to reconcile with son Brooklyn before Father's Day? Family feud takes U-turn after knighthood award
David Beckham's latest move signals that he recently tried to reconcile with his son Brooklyn on social media after being honoured with knighthood award. Cherishing the joyous occasion with family, the former England soccer captain tagged his 26-year-old defiant son. This development comes a day before Father's Day. The 50-year-old Inter Miami soccer team co-owner reacted on wife Victoria Beckham's Instagram post celebrating his recent knighthood from King Charles III. The comment thread states, 'I love you all ❤️ @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven ❤️.' This reaction came in response to the former Spice Girl's post, 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.' Praising her husband over the notable achievement, the 51-year-old actress stated, 'The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much.' Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz reportedly severed their ties with the Beckhams after 2022 Palm Beach wedding. This flames to this family drama were set off after Victoria Beckham allegedly danced on the same song on which the couple had been planned to groove together. Amid the family rift, the young Los Angeles couple recently skipped both of David's 50th birthday celebrations and cited MET Gala engagement for their absence. Two of David Beckham's sons — Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20 — had expressed excitement over their father's landmark achievement through their Instagram Stories. Notably, Brooklyn is happy on his father's latest achievement, sources informed Page Six. As per the report, Nicola Peltz became aware about David's achievement not through the Beckham family but through the media.

Fatima Sana Shaikh says her comment about casting couch in South films was ‘blown up': It wasn't as big a deal
Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh has said that she wants to clarify a 'misconception' surrounding her comment about casting couch in the South film industries. Speaking with News18, Fatima shared that she spoke about a particular incident but the entire South film industry isn't like that. She added that what she shared was "taken out of context and blown up". Earlier this year, Fatima spoke about an interaction with a casting agent for a South Indian film and how his insinuations made her uneasy. (Also Read | Fatima Sana Shaikh details her experience with casting couch in South films: 'He asked, you will do everything, right?') Fatima said that she dealt with her casting couch experience and moved on. "I want to clear the air. All of this is a misconception. It's not like the entire South film industry is like that. It was just one particular incident that happened. I was talking about it in passing and suddenly, it became like this huge thing. It was not necessary. Every woman goes through this. A woman may walk down the street and have a man hit on her or catcall her. It exists everywhere and in every industry. I don't know why my words were taken out of context and blown up. It's nonsense! It's something that happened. I dealt with it and moved on," she said. Fatima added that "everyone goes through such things". She continued, 'It wasn't as big a deal as it was made to look. Everybody goes through such things. The person in question was a small-time producer or a casting director. It doesn't become a whole representation of what the South film industry is." In January, Fatima talked to Bollywood Bubble about how an agent asked her to be ready with everything. "He asked me, 'You will be ready to do everything, right?' I told him that I will be working hard and will do what is required for the role, but he kept saying that, and I played dumb because I wanted to see how low can he get,' she said. Talking about another incident in Hyderabad, Fatima added, 'The producers would talk about it very openly, 'You know, here you have to meet people'. They wouldn't say things outright but would imply them in strange ways. Of course, they'd say it indirectly, but make their intentions clear. They'd say things like, 'You have to meet people', or 'You have to do this and that'.' Fatima and Vijay Varma will be seen together in the upcoming film Gustaakh Ishq. Directed by Vibhu Puri, the film also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Sharib Hashmi. She also has Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino in the pipeline. The film also stars Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal. The movie will release in theatres on July 4.
