Actor Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband and businessman, Sunjay Kapur, has suddenly passed away at the age of 53 in the U.K. He reportedly died after suffering a heart attack. Reports claim he suffered a heart attack while he was playing polo and succumbed to it. He posted about the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash this morning.
