Indian billionaire Sunjay Kapur dies from bee sting
ALBAWABA - 53-year-old Indian billionaire, Sunjay Kapur, unexpectedly died on June 12 during a polo match in England after swallowing a bee, triggering a heart attack.
The shocking news flooded social media, sparking widespread debate and speculation about the cause of death. According to NDTV, early reports revealed that Kapur might've suffered from an anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening allergic reaction when an individual is exposed to an allergen.
Renowned Indian surgeon Naresh Trehan said that might've been the case. However, he added that anaphylactic shock cases are rare. Trehan explained to NDTV that Sunjay Kapur might've suffered from a heart attack after choking, or while playing polo.
Trehan added that a post-mortem will reveal the exact cause of death. While efforts are being made to bring his body back to India, the process has suffered multiple delays due to legal paperwork regarding his US citizenship.
During the match, Kapur reportedly told the umpire that he was choking and had "swallowed something" before collapsing. According to the Telegraph, he might've swallowed an insect or been stung by a bee.
Sunjay Kapur was married to Indian actress Karisma Kapoor, and while the couple had two children together, they split in 2016 due to marital problems.

He said the event will take place in Italy and will be tailored to Egyptian and Indian customs. He also discussed how their love story progressed. Mena disclosed the specifics of his nuptials, stating, "No, there isn't a wedding in Egypt. We've decided to get married in Italy. God willing, the wedding will take place next month. We'll take things one day at a time and have both an Indian and an Egyptian wedding before being married in a stunning location in Italy." Emily Shah Instagram profile "I'm an interviewer in general," he stated, referring to the specifics of his relationship with his spouse and their disparate personalities. She enjoys going out and interacting with people, but I like to stay at home and be by myself. That's my preference when it comes to socializing. My mood has improved because, as an actor, I need to be outgoing and socially engaged. She has been really helpful to me in this regard and absolutely encourages me to pursue it." He giggles and says, "She's been to Egypt once before, but hopefully, she'll return soon." When discussing the relationship between two distinct cultures, Mina stated that the greatest way for them to get to know one another is through food: "We truly enjoy each other's cuisine. She adores Egyptian cuisine, and I adore Indian cuisine. She says, 'I want falafel,' and she always eats falafel and fowl when she visits my mom's house. She likes my mom's filled vegetables as well. "I really like okra, bhindi (okra), but they make it in a different way, and lantal dal." He also lists his favorite Indian foods. "I love a lot of Indian food." He stated that they are considering collaborating on a creative endeavor in the future, adding, "We'll see if we can do something together... We were considering making an action film like Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Even in their everyday lives, despite their numerous differences, they enhance one another: "Of course, she exercises very seriously and exercises very seriously." She most likely visits the gym more frequently than I do. He wrapped it up by discussing their collaboration as producers, saying, "Believe me, we're producing together right now. She produces alongside me at my production company, so we work on many projects together." Mena Massoud and Emily Shah Announce Their Wedding Date Mena Massoud stated on the Egyptian ON channel's "With Mona El Shazly" program that he fell in love with Emily Shah while he was residing in Los Angeles. He went on, "We got to know one another for a time before we really started dating, and we met when I was living in Los Angeles. We got to know one another over the course of a year. She travels frequently because she is an actress and production worker, and her father is a well-known producer in India, just as I used to travel for work." Mena stated that Emily's kind disposition and certain characteristics, which made him feel at home among Egyptians, drew him to her. "What I enjoyed most about her is that she reminded me of Egyptians," he added, "yet her mother is American and her father is Indian." Her spirit and impressions are the same. She produces many items that I adore and is an excellent cook. I adore the Indian meal known as "Egyptian" okra, although they prepare it differently. The two families' relationship is marked by an atmosphere of love and respect for one another, which has strengthened their tie. Mina added, "From our side and her family's side, there is mutual respect and love, and that has helped the relationship grow stronger." He disclosed that the wedding will take place in late July. He mentioned that he had known Emily since 2018, before the premiere of his well-known movie "Aladdin," and that she had always been a fan of both him and the movie.
