Sunjay Kapur Was Prince Williams' Close Friend, Played Polo With The Royal Family
Last Updated: Sunjay Kapur, who passed away at the age of 53, was frequently invited to play polo with Prince William and was a familiar face on the UK's elite polo circuit. Sunjay Kapur, the former husband of actress Karisma Kapoor and a well-known Indian industrialist, shared a close bond with British royalty. Kapur, who passed away at the age of 53, was frequently invited to play polo with Prince William and was a familiar face on the UK's elite polo circuit. His association with the royals ran deep, often placing him among Britain's most influential circles. Kapur, chairman of auto component giant Sona Comstar, had a long-standing presence in British polo, regularly participating in high-profile matches. His appearances on the field with Prince William reflected not just his passion for the sport but also his longstanding ties to the royal family. He was educated in the UK and maintained strong social connections in London's elite circles, where he was often spotted at polo grounds and luxury events. Tragically, Kapur died on Thursday during one such match in England. He reportedly swallowed a bee during the game, which caused a sting in his throat and led to anaphylactic shock. The reaction triggered a fatal heart attack, and he collapsed on the field. Experts say internal bee stings can cause swelling and sudden airway blockage, which can result in cardiac arrest. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Just hours before his death, Kapur had posted a message of condolence on X (formerly Twitter), mourning the victims of a tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. His sudden passing has since sent shockwaves through both British high society and India's business and entertainment circles. Tributes poured in from friends and associates. Author Suhel Seth posted, 'Deeply saddened at the passing of @sunjaykapur… a terrible loss." His company, Sona Comstar, also issued a heartfelt statement remembering him as a 'visionary leader" whose insight shaped the brand's identity. Kapur was married to Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016. They had two children together—Samaira and Kiaan. Their separation was marred by legal battles, including allegations of domestic abuse. Karisma had even claimed that Kapur left to play polo with royalty while their son was ill. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priya Sachdev Kapur (@priyasachdevkapur) He later married model Priya Sachdev in 2017, and the couple has a son named Azarias. His sudden and tragic death has left many grieving across continents, from Delhi to London's royal playing fields. First Published: June 13, 2025, 21:54 IST

Slick Rick returns after 26 years with Victory album and proves hip-hop storytelling still reigns
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hip-hop legend Slick Rick is proving his creative spark is far from fading. The English-born rapper — known for his signature eye patch and masterful storytelling — returned to the booth with his first new project in nearly three decades. He's reminding the world of his timeless rap prowess on his visual album, 'Victory,' released Friday. It marks Slick Rick's first album since 1999's 'The Art of Storytelling.' This new project is largely self-produced, with the rapper handling 95% of the production and sharing executive producer duties with Emmy-nominated actor and occasional rapper-DJ Idris Elba, who appears on the album alongside Nas, Giggs and Estelle. 'You was a young adult, then a middled aged man and now you're an older man, so my mentality has to grow with it,' said Slick Rick, known for his rap classic such as 'Children's Story,' 'La Di Da Di' with Doug E. Fresh and 'Mona Lisa.' His debut album, 'The Great Adventures of Slick Rick,' in 1988 hit No. 1 on the Billboard R&B/hip-hop charts. 'Victory' was four years in the making, with Slick Rick, now 60, writing and recording the album between his birthplace of London then France, while the visuals were filmed in the United States, United Kingdom and Africa. Slick Rick believes his voice still resonates in hip-hop. He said the subjects he tackles have grown with him. 'Can't always be children all the time,' he said. 'We grow and talk about things that interest us at this age.' In a recent interview, Slick Rick spoke with The Associated Press about how storytelling plays a role in today's rap, his relationship with Elba and how hip-hop has no limitations. Remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity. SLICK RICK: We met at a party and then we clicked. His people reached out to me, and they wanted to make an album. They flew me to England and France. I hung out with Idris at his cribs, and we just did what we do. We just had fun, And then when we was finished, we said, 'Yeah, we're ready to bring it to the marketplace.' SLICK RICK: It might've been a little hesitation, but you're just having fun. We just bringing it to the marketplace and see what happens. There's no pressure or nothing. We're bringing it to the people to see if they like it. Feed them. SLICK RICK: When we were in the studio with Idris doing our thing, I checked the reactions of people. But then I saw people in their happy place. Once I saw that, I'm good. I see him and his people's happy. A little dancing. Popped a little Moet. We were having a good time. SLICK RICK: It's what Black people like. We're not just hip-hop. We like reggae. We like house music. Let's say like the Beatles or Barry Manilow. We go all over the place. Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross. We go places. We try to entertain ourselves in different areas of existence. SLICK RICK: It was saving time. People make songs and do videos anyway. So why not just speed this up real quick? Video and rap both at the same time. Boom, let's keep it moving. ... This is like watching a movie. You want to expand the picture. Not only do you hear my voice and the music, which is the essence. You get ... visual picture as well. SLICK RICK: In my creative process, I need to have a lot of input or it's not going to be authentic Rick. Too many hands, it's not going to pop. So many hands is going to distort stuff. I do my own music most of the time. SLICK RICK: It's an open space. It hasn't been filled, the whole storytelling thing. Before it gets too lost back into braggadocios, one frequency. Expand your horizons. You don't always have to be rough. Be romantic. Be humorous. Be vulnerable. Go all over. Be a politician. Use your imagination. Go places, so we can take stories and give to our people's imagination.
