On Friday, Karisma took to Instagram Stories and wrote, "12/6/2025", followed by the words, "Sunjay in our hearts forever".

Karisma added folded hands, a white heart and a dove emoji, keeping the tribute understated yet deeply personal.

This is the first time since Sunjay Kapoor’s passing that Karisma has reacted publicly. Sunjay Kapur’s death left many in the business world as well as people in Bollywood in deep shock. Sunjay was 53 and the chairman and non-executive director of Sona Comstar.

The businessman passed away in England while playing polo when he accidentally swallowed a bee and had a cardiac arrest. Sunjay was known to be a patron of the sport and played it regularly.

Following Sunjay Kapoor’s death, Karisma Kapoor flew down to Delhi from Mumbai with their children, Samaira and Kiaan to attend his last rites. Karisma’s sister and brother-in-law, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan, also accompanied her and the children to be near them during the difficult time.

Karisma tribute on his death anniversary comes at a time when Sunjay Kapur’s family remains in the public spotlight due to the ongoing legal dispute over his reported Rs 30,000 crore estate.

While the legal case continues, Karisma’s story seems like a personal remembrance of Sunjay as a father and family member, marking one year since his untimely passing.
