Bollywood Star Karisma Kapoor's Abrupt Marriage and Tragic Divorce Revealed
25 Jul
Summary
- Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Sunjay Kapur was "abrupt" and she never truly fit into his world
- Filmmaker Suneel Darshan says Karisma wanted a simple home life but was treated as a "trophy wife"
- Sunjay Kapur passed away in 2025 after a heart attack triggered by a bee sting during a polo match
In a recent conversation, filmmaker Suneel Darshan shed light on the tumultuous marriage between Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor and businessman Sunjay Kapur. Darshan, who worked closely with Karisma during her acting career, revealed that her 2003 marriage to Sunjay was "abrupt" and that she was never truly part of the world she entered.
Darshan explained that Karisma had hoped for a simple, domestic life after her wedding, but was instead "placed into a world which was not hers." Despite her fame and legacy as the granddaughter of legendary actor Raj Kapoor, Karisma carried herself with humility. However, Darshan believes she was treated as a "trophy wife" by Sunjay's family, as Delhi's culture did not align with Karisma's grounded sensibilities.
Tragically, Sunjay Kapur passed away in June 2025 after suffering a heart attack, which reports suggest was triggered by a bee sting during a polo match in the UK. Karisma and Sunjay had been married for 13 years before divorcing in 2016 after a public and legal conflict. They share two children together.
