Industrialist Sunjay Kapur passed away earlier this month after he suffered a fatal heart attack during a polo match at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England. After his death, Kalyani Saha of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives fame penned a heartfelt note for him. She recalled how Sunjay wanted to be the fittest father for his little son, and how his wife Priya Sachdev鈥檚 advice ruled his life.
Kalyani wrote, 鈥淗e was someone I could rely on even if I didn鈥檛 speak to him for weeks. From driving through torrential rain when he had six hours in Delhi in between his travels, to come to calm a distraught me, monitoring me long distance or giving me guidance with my business, or to endlessly lecture me about my questionable choices, he was insufferable at times, and we bickered like siblings.鈥

She added, 鈥淗e supported every venture of mine, be it with my Art or Rezon, spurring me on, always proud of my serial entrepreneurship. His love for Tahira was unequivocal. The most fun person for every generation. Sunjay鈥檚 dedication and commitment to whatever he took on were borderline obsessive and competitive. He had to be the best in whatever he took on. Be it polo or taking on his father鈥檚 mantle in the business.鈥
Kalyani wrote, 鈥淗is marriage to Priya, a strong-willed woman of great intelligence, whose opinion and advice ruled his life. Sunjay loved public speaking and was excellent at it. But no matter the subject, Priya鈥檚 name was mentioned in every other sentence. His priority was his wife and children. His pursuance of longevity of his life span is now ironic and cruel, as he told me how he had to be the fittest father for little Azarius and live a 100 years minimum.鈥
She recalled, 鈥淚 was there with Tahira watching him play his first ever polo match in wonderment of knowing it鈥檚 been less than a year since he started this very difficult sport and learnt riding to begin with. How quickly and easily he went off riding into the sunset, doing something he loved the most 鈥 leaving behind a legacy of love, respect and hero worship. I am so so fortunate to have had him as part of my life. So lucky to call him family, the third sister. So lucky to have his love, support and unflinching loyalty. My James Bond has left me and everyone whose life he touched, even if briefly, shaken, stirred and gutted.鈥
