Karisma Kapoor’s Emotional Birthday Amid Personal Loss
Actor Karisma Kapoor turned 51 on June 25 and received warm wishes from her fans and loved ones. However, this birthday was an emotional one for her, as she recently faced a personal tragedy.
Karisma Kapoor ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, passed away on June 12 during a polo match in England. According to his close friend and business associate Suhel Seth, Sunjay died due to a heart attack, which happened after he accidentally swallowed a bee during the match. His company, Sona Comstar, also confirmed the cause as a heart attack, though no further details were shared.
Despite their separation, Karisma attended Sunjay’s funeral and prayer meeting in New Delhi, along with her children, Samaira (19) and Kiaan (13). Karisma and Sunjay had tied the knot in 2003 and later got divorced in 2016 after filing for mutual separation in 2014.
After the funeral, Karisma took to her Instagram Stories to thank everyone for their love and support. She wrote a short message, saying, “Thank you everyone for ur warm wishes and support,” with a red heart and folded hands emoji.
On Karisma’s birthday, her younger sister Kareena Kapoor Khan also shared a heartfelt note on Instagram. She posted an old picture of Karisma and wrote, “This is my most favourite picture of you both. To the strongest and bestest girl in the universe… It’s been a tough year for us.”
She further added, “But as they say, tough times don’t last… the toughest sisters do. To my sister, my mother, my best friend… Happy Birthday My Lolo.”
