Sunjay Kapur Created 10-Year-Plan Months Before Death, Was 'Clear' About What He Wanted To Do In Life

Businessman Sunjay Kapur, ex-husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, had shared details about a personal 10-year life plan, focusing on health, family, and purposeful engagements beyond work, months before his death. Sunjay passed away on June 12 after suffering a heart attack while playing polo in the UK.

A few months back, Sunjay made the revelations during an episode of the Indian Silicon Valley podcast, where he discussed how he intended to live life after stepping back from an active executive role in his company.

Sunjay Kapur's 10-year plan

"I'm a great planner. In October, I wrote down a 10-year plan for myself; not goals, but things I will focus on. Whether it’s work engagements or non-work engagements. There are a lot of non-work commitments that I have. I’m very clear about what I will do and what I will not do," he said during the podcast.

Sunjay also spoke about his love for sports, particularly polo, and stressed the importance of fitness and family time. "Sport is very important to me, health and fitness is very important to me. I play active polo, I run a team. I play as often as I can. However, what’s also important to me is that I give back to my family," he added.

Describing the plan in more detail, he had said, "When I drew up my 10-year plan, I actually wrote down the broad strokes of work-related and non-work related, foundation-related… I flushed out 2025 to define what I will do. I’m not the sort of person who can sit around without a packed schedule. It’s a great luxury to be the master of your own time."

Who was Sunjay Kapur?

Sunjay was the Chairman of Sona Comstar and a prominent figure in the Indian automotive sector. He was also known for his passion for polo. He held degrees from MIT and Harvard.

Sunjay made headlines in the early 2000s for his high-profile marriage to Karisma. The couple tied the knot in 2003 and have two children - Samaira and Kiaan.

However, their marriage ended in a highly publicised divorce in 2016, involving serious allegations from both sides. Karisma accused Sunjay of domestic abuse and emotional trauma, while Sunjay claimed she married him for financial reasons. The settlement awarded Karisma full custody of the children, a house in Mumbai, and financial support.

In 2017, Sunjay married model and entrepreneur Priya Sachdev, and the couple welcomed a son in 2018. Before tying the knot with Karisma, Sunjay was married to fashion designer Nandita Mahtani. They parted ways four years after marriage in 2000.
