In a tragic incident that shook the sports and social circles, Indian billionaire businessman Sanjay Kapoor, a friend of Prince William, passed away suddenly on Thursday during a polo match at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England, at the age of 53. Kapoor, who served as the chairman of the global automotive spare parts company "Sona Comstar," suffered a severe allergic shock after being stung by a bee in his mouth while playing. Witnesses confirmed that he was laughing and enjoying the game before shouting, "I've swallowed something!" and then collapsing immediately. Despite rapid medical assistance, attempts to save his life were unsuccessful. The allergic shock caused a sharp drop in blood pressure and constriction of the airways, leading to cardiac arrest. Sanjay Kapoor was one of the prominent polo players and a close friend of Prince William due to their shared passion for sports. Born in India, a graduate of the University of Buckingham, Kapoor inherited "Sona Comstar" from his father and led it to become a leading company in the automotive spare parts industry, especially electric vehicles. He was married to Bollywood star Karishma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016, and they have two children, Samaira (20 years old) and Kiaan (14 years old). He later married fashion model Priya Sachdev and they had a son named Azarius. In a painful coincidence, just hours before, Kapoor had mourned the victims of the Indian Airlines plane crash in Ahmedabad through his platform on "X" (formerly Twitter). His passing caused great sorrow in India and Britain, particularly affecting Prince William and the British royal family who were celebrating Trooping the Colour on the same day. Close sources confirmed that Prince William deeply mourns the loss of his close friend. Condolences continued to pour in from prominent figures in India and Britain, with the media focusing on Kapoor's legacy in the business and sports world. This tragic incident comes days after his former son-in-law, actor Saif Ali Khan, was attacked in Mumbai, further adding to the family's tragedy. "Sona Comstar" issued a statement expressing its "deep sorrow" for the sudden death of its chairman.
