‘Sunjay Kapur played polo with Prince William while son was sick': Karisma Kapoor's old claims resurface as polo friends remember him as ‘kind soul'
Billionaire businessman Sunjay Kapur's sudden death has left his polo friend group in shock. The chairman of Sona Comstar, a major global automotive parts company, was also a close friend of Prince William, often playing matches with him and other British royals. His activity in the polo circuit earned him a place among Britain's aristocratic social circle. Kapur died on Thursday while playing a match in Windsor when a bee reportedly got into his mouth and stung him. According to PEOPLE, the sting caused a severe allergic reaction, also known as anaphylactic shock, following which he collapsed on the field and died shortly after. Also read: Businessman Sunjay Kapur, Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, dies of heart attack while playing polo: What could have triggered it? Kapur's personal life had once drawn a lot of attention while he was married to Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor. They tied the knot in 2003 but ended up parting ways following a messy divorce that was finalised in 2016. Karisma later accused him of neglecting their sick child to go play polo with Prince William and claimed he married her for publicity, among other allegations, including domestic violence and trying to auction her off. According to the Mirror, Kapoor once 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.' Sunay Kapur was born into a wealthy business family and completed his studies at The Doon School in India. He then moved to the UK at the University of Buckingham, for his degree in business. Later, attended Harvard Business School. Kapur inherited his father's business, remarried and moved to England with his wife Priya Sachdeva. His company, Sona Comstar, issued a statement mourning his sudden death, calling him a 'visionary leader' Also read: Karisma Kapoor's ex husband Sunjay Kapur said 'our time on earth is limited' on social media just 4 days before death Friends and business associates of Kapur praised him as a kind and generous man who treated everyone equally. In a statement to PEOPLE, a friend of the businessman said, 'He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club, as he employed so many people and made so many friends, he was fun, kind and generous. He didn't distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends; he had a party, everyone was invited, and everyone was equal.' An eyewitness told the outlet that right before his death, Kapur said to people nearby, 'I've swallowed something.' Upon consulting an expert, it was known that the allergic reaction caused his blood pressure to drop and his heart to stop. According to doctors, a bee sting in the mouth can be extremely dangerous as it can block the airway and lead to heart failure. Meanwhile, his death is under investigation.

"This is Bo I am an alcoholic I am a sinner, but I am a believer I believe in God's grace, and I believe that his mercy has shown that he is consistent, even though we don't deserve it. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I've been sexually abused by a Camp counselor I've been sexually, physically and emotionally abused by my brother And I've been abused by my youth pastor I believe that God has bigger plans for me and part of those plans are telling my story because it's so hard for anyone to tell stories like these. Even when my faith has been crushed, I know that God still has provisions for me. If you're out there and you're thinking, nothing can be done, no one can help, there's no way out…. I'm with you…….. but I believe in a God who always finds a way. Don't give up and don't lose hope." Also Read: Who is Harvey Weinstein?

You'll start to see how your life's kind of breaking down.' Bo and Bear Rinehart co-founded NEEDTOBREATHE in the early 2000s. Bo left the band in 2020. As of now, Bear Rinehart has not publicly responded to the allegations.

BTS' fans debate if Jungkook knew history before wearing Make Tokyo Great Again cap; K-pop star apologises for being ‘careless'
BTS' Jungkook had recently completed his military service and made his return to the stage after a long break. The K-pop star was rehearsing for J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Goyang, a surprise act marking the group's 12th anniversary at FESTA 2025. However, then backstage pictures of the members started surfacing, and one shot of the Euphoria crooner quickly went viral. Jungkook was seen wearing a black cap with the phrase, 'Make Tokyo Great Again' printed on it. At first, it might've looked like another version of 'Make America Great Again,' but the wording triggered instant outrage among Korean netizens, given the history between the two nations. Jungkook has since apologised for wearing the cap, but fans are now divided, questioning whether he truly understood the weight of what he was wearing. Also read: BTS' V says he can't tolerate 'person with childish behaviour' now: What Taehyung's changed personality after military discharge reveals 'It weighs heavily on my heart to write this after seeing you all again after such a long time.' As backlash grew, Jungkook didn't wait for his agency, HYBE, to step in and penned a long apology note on Weverse. He admitted to disappointing and hurting sentiments of fans over the cap and confessed he didn't fully understand the political and historical significance behind the phrase before wearing it 'carelessly'. 'I fully acknowledge my lack of awareness and care that has led to disappointment and hurt,' he wrote. Jungkook made it clear there was no excuse, regardless of the reason. ' It was my fault and I was careless. From now on, I will think deeply about every decision and act more carefully. I humbly accept all the criticism and concerns regarding my mistake.' Also read: BTS' Jungkook and Jimin discharged from military: Get shy seeing ARMYs, giggle and hide behind bouquets; first photos and videos go viral It is widely believed that in Japan, politicians like Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko used this same phrase in the context of Japanese nationalism. At times, it's been linked to national pride, anti-Korean sentiments, and even historical denial tied to Japan's colonisation of Korea. Today, the country remains one of the biggest markets for K-pop, with almost every group flocking there where album sales hit the roof. But these two countries share a long, complicated, and painful past, especially Japan's rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945. And thus, making any reference to that period highly sensitive in Korea. Jungkook's quick apology instantly slowed down the backlash, with many praising him for taking full responsibility without trying to explain it away or shift blame. 'I respect Jungkook for handling it so maturely. The fact that he didn't even wait for a statement but addressed it himself, apologised, and shut it down before it could escalate,' one wrote. But some were still left deeply disappointed and questioned how he could be so unaware of such a sensitive issue. 'Not a single staff member stopped this?' one asked. 'I can't accept Jungkook's ignorance,' another said. 'I'm not even a fan, but if you just skim the phrase, it can sound as random as 'Paris in the Rain' or 'London Bagel Museum.' But I do think it's possible he really didn't know,' a third pointed out. 'I'm an ARMY, but I honestly believe Jungkook wore it without knowing. That said, even if he didn't know, it was still wrong and there's no excuse.' A fourth chimed in, 'The bigger debate is whether he wore it intentionally. But it's hard to believe anyone would publicly wear something like that if they were willing to risk everything they've built, It's a serious problem if a celebrity doesn't know this kind of stuff in today's climate.'
