Actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor were seen rushing to the residence of her sister Karisma Kapoor after the news of her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s death broke. A video of them from outside Karisma Kapoor’s house has surfaced online.
The couple was seen quite devastated. While Saif Ali Khan was clicked, an emotional Kareena Kapoor avoided paps. In the video, they can be seen getting in their car to leave for Karisma’s house. Sunjay Kapur, 53, died of heart attack while playing polo. The industrialist was in London at the time of his death.
Earlier that evening, Karisma’s friends and actors Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora too arrived at her residence to offer their condolences.

Shalini Passi, who is a close friend of Kapurs, told HT in an interview, “The news of Sunjay’s death is sad and shocking. It makes us realise the frivolity of our life and everything that we take so seriously… In a moment everything is gone. Sunjay’s family and our family are close friends…. I have known him and his family since I got married. He was somebody who was full of life. He was very enthusiastic about things he did, whether it was his business or playing polo…. He was somebody a lot of people looked up to as a role model.”
