Sunjay Kapur's company Sona Comstar CEO pens emotional tribute for Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband: 'Had the heartbreak of...'

Sanjay Kapur, Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband and industrialist, died on June 12 after suffering a heart attack, caused by a bee he accidentally swallowed while playing a polo match in London. He was the chairman and non-executive director of Sona Comstar, one of the world’s leading mobility technology companies. Sunjay's funeral was held in Delhi on June 19.

A day after his funeral, Sona Comstar CEO Vivek Vikram Singh penned an emotional note on X (formerly Twitter), in which he talked about shouldering Sunjay, his best friend on his final journey. He wrote, "Yesterday, I had the heartbreak of shouldering my best friend on his final journey — a man who was always prouder of my achievements than I ever was. If everyone had even one such friend, the world would be a kinder, better place. May you rest in peace Sunjay."

Earlier after Sunjay's death, Vivek had written on X, "Sunjay, after a decade of walking with me, you have left me to walk alone, but I promise that I and our 6,000 dedicated engineers and managers and operators, will continue our shared mission of building Sona Comstar into an Indian engineering company the world can be proud of."
