Bee sting led to Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband Sunjay Kapur's death? Experts explain the heart attack link
In a shocking turn of events, Indian businessman and Karisma Kapoor 's ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, passed away a few days ago in England during a polo match. He was in his 50s. According to business consultant Suhel Seth , Sunjay suffered a heart attack after reportedly swallowing a bee during the game. Suhel confirmed to ANI, 'Sunjay died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England.' What happens when a Bee stings you? According to a report published in 2017 by the University of Melbourne, bees sting when they feel they're in danger. They have a barbed stinger and a venom sac. When a bee stings, it leaves its stinger behind and pumps venom into the skin. For most people, it causes basic symptoms, a bit of pain, swelling, or itching. But for some, especially those who are allergic, it can lead to a very serious condition called anaphylaxis. This is when the body reacts badly to the venom, sometimes in life-threatening ways. It's not just the venom that's the problem, it's how someone's body responds to it. Swallowing a Bee — How can that be dangerous? Swallowing a bee might sound bizarre, but it's actually something doctors say can happen. Back in 2015, Dr Bobbi Pritt from the Mayo Clinic had explained that while most bugs we accidentally swallow don't do any harm, stinging insects like bees or wasps are a different story. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mother Set Up A Hidden Camera, Her Husband Was Caught In The Act... Topbunt Undo If they sting you on the inside, like in your throat, it can cause massive swelling. For people with allergies, this is even more dangerous and can cause hives, facial and throat swelling, breathing difficulty, and even sudden cardiac arrest if not treated promptly. Can a Bee sting really trigger a heart attack? Experts say that if someone is stung in the throat or inside the mouth and is allergic, it can lead to their airway swelling up. If they can't breathe properly, their heart can go into shock and even stop. Dr Suma Malini Victor in an interview with Khaleej Times, shared that 'Even in those without known allergies, if the bee stings the airway, tongue, or throat, it can cause sudden airway swelling and obstruction.' That's when things can go downhill very quickly, especially without quick medical help. So what should you do if you get stung? According to the University of Melbourne, the key is to act fast. Bees usually leave their stinger behind. You should remove it within 30 seconds to reduce how much venom goes in. Don't pinch it instead, use something like a credit card or your fingernail to scrape it off. If the reaction is mild, a cold pack can help with pain and swelling. But if someone is stung near the throat or starts feeling dizzy, wheezing, or struggling to breathe, they need medical help right away. Who was Sunjay Kapur? Sunjay Kapur wasn't just known for his business empire, he was once part of Bollywood royalty. He married actress Karisma Kapoor in 2003, and the couple became regulars in Page 3 circles. They had two children together — Samaira (born in 2005) and Kiaan (born in 2011). The couple eventually parted ways in 2016. Sunjay later married Priya Sachdev, who had a brief stint in Bollywood herself. Together, they had a son named Azarias. Sunjay is now survived by Priya, Azarias, and his two children from his first marriage. Did a Bee Sting Trigger Sunjay Kapur's Fatal Heart Attack?

‘Trying to stay alive': Indian students in Iran plead for evacuation as Israel rains missiles, drones
As Israeli strikes escalate across Iran, hundreds of Indian medical students are pleading with the Indian government to evacuate them, saying they no longer feel safe, news agency ANI reported. "I woke up at 2:30 am on Friday to loud explosions and rushed to the basement. We haven't slept since," said Imtisal Mohidin, a third-year MBBS student at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. He is among over 350 Indian students enrolled at the university, which has suspended classes due to the worsening situation. Blasts have been reported just a few kilometres from student hostels and apartments, forcing many to take shelter in basements. "We are stuck inside our apartment basement. We hear blasts every night. One of the explosions was just 5 km away. We haven't slept in three days," Mohidin told ANI over the phone. He hails from Handwara in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district. Follow Iran Israel war live updates. The fear is not limited to Tehran. Faizan Nabi, a first-year student at Kerman University of Medical Sciences, said panic is spreading even in areas considered relatively safer. "We heard gunshots in our city today. My friends in Tehran are terrified. We were advised to store drinking water for 3-4 days. That's how bad it is," he said. A resident of Srinagar, Faizan told ANI, "I've been getting 10 calls a day from my parents. The internet is so slow that I can't even send a WhatsApp message quickly. We came here to become doctors. Now we're just trying to stay alive." Midhat, a fourth-year MBBS student at Iran University of Medical Science in Tehran, recalled the first night of strikes as 'the most horrifying.' 'The blasts were not far — just a few kilometres away. Everyone was panicking. My family keeps checking on me. We're constantly monitoring the news,' said Midhat, a native of Sopore in Jammu and Kashmir. Iran's airspace remains restricted due to the conflict, leaving students uncertain about when or how they might be able to return. Students say they are staying indoors, relying mainly on messages and safety advisories from the Indian Embassy. "We request the Government of India to evacuate us before the situation worsens. The Embassy has shared helplines and is in touch, but we are frightened and need to go home," said Mohidin. While the Indian Embassy has stayed in contact with students through WhatsApp and issued an advisory urging nationals to stay indoors, some students said their universities haven't provided enough support. 'Most of us are scared and staying inside. We don't know how long this will go on,' Midhat, Iran University student added. The embassy has asked Indian nationals in Iran to join a dedicated Telegram group for updates and has issued emergency helpline numbers. (With ANI inputs)

‘Terrified': Indian students in Iran urge evacuation as tensions with Israel escalate
As tensions between Israel and Iran escalated, Indian students stranded in Iran urged India to evacuate them before it's too late. One of the hundreds of Indian medical students in Iran said, "We haven't slept in three days" -- ever since Israel launched ballistic attacks against Iran on June 12. Imtisal Mohidin told news agency ANI, 'I woke up at 2:30 am on Friday to loud explosions and rushed to the basement. We haven't slept since.' The statement came as Israeli strikes intensified across the country. Fear mounted as blasts were reported just a few kilometres from student hostels and apartments, prompting pleas to the Government of India: evacuate us before it's too late. Imtisal, a 22-year-old third-year MBBS student at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, said that over 350 Indian students are currently enrolled in his university alone. He hails from Handwara in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district. "We are stuck inside our apartment basement. We hear blasts every night. One of the explosions was just 5 km away. We haven't slept in three days," he told ANI over the phone. He said the university has suspended classes and students are avoiding movement due to the bombardment. Shahid Beheshti University attracts Indian nationals for its affordable and reputable MBBS programme. Notably, three Iranian nuclear scientists, who were killed in Israel's attack in Iran, were professors at Shahid Beheshti University, the report added. Meanwhile, Faizan Nabi, a first-year MBBS student at Kerman University of Medical Sciences, said that though Kerman is comparatively safer than Tehran, the panic is spreading fast. "We heard gunshots in our city today. My friends in Tehran are terrified. We were advised to store drinking water for 3-4 days. That's how bad it is," he said. A resident of Srinagar, Faizan added, "I've been getting 10 calls a day from my parents. The internet is so slow that I can't even send a WhatsApp message quickly. We came here to become doctors. Now we're just trying to stay alive." Midhat, a fourth-year MBBS student at Iran University of Medical Science, said the first night of strikes was the most horrifying. "The blasts were not far — just a few kilometres away. Everyone was panicking. My family keeps checking on me. We're constantly monitoring the news," said the student from Sopore in Jammu and Kashmir. While she said the Indian Embassy was in touch through WhatsApp, she added that her university hasn't provided much support. "Most of us are scared and staying inside. We don't know how long this will go on," she said. With Iranian airspace restricted and no clear timeline on when the violence will ebb, the students now await the one thing they say can bring their families peace — a flight home. While the university administration has remained in touch with students, those ANI spoke to said they are now mostly relying on Indian Embassy advisories and coordination for safety instructions and next steps. "We request the Government of India to evacuate us before the situation worsens. The Embassy has shared helplines and is in touch, but we are frightened and need to go home," said Mohidin. In a fresh public advisory, the Indian Embassy in Tehran asked all Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin to stay indoors and keep monitoring official channels. "We request everyone in Iran to join the below given Telegram link to receive updates on the situation from the Embassy. Kindly note that this Telegram link is ONLY for those Indian nationals who are currently in Iran," it said in a post on X. The embassy has also issued emergency helplines for Indian nationals.
