Sunjay Kapur only had a faint connection to the show business (he was the ex-husband of Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor), but the 53-year-old’s death on June 12 is too eyebrow-raising to ignore. The polo-playing billionaire businessman (he was chairman of the global car-parts company Sona Comstar) and pal of Prince William died of anaphylactic shock after swallowing a bee during a polo match. More things to worry about! I’m already not happy that the average person swallows 2 pounds of bugs every year, and that’s not even including kamikaze bees. Now I have another excuse to wear masks: Covid, measles, the flu, and bees. After the recent Air India crash, Kapur had posted, "Your time on Earth is limited. Leave the ‘what ifs’ to the philosophers and instead dive headfirst into the ‘why nots.’” A friend posted that Kapur “didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends. “When he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal.”
