Sunjay Kapur, businessman and ex-husband of actor Karisma Kapoor, passed away at 53 after reportedly swallowing a bee during a polo match in England. The incident led to a heart attack on the field. Friends and colleagues, including Suhel Seth, shared their condolences with his family. Kapur was married to former model Priya Sachdev.
How can swallowing a bee lead to heart attack?
Doctors explained that if a bee stings inside your throat or mouth, it can cause severe swelling and trigger an allergic reaction called anaphylaxis—which puts serious strain on the heart and can lead to cardiac arrest. While rare, this highlights why knowing about allergies and keeping your heart healthy is important—especially for anyone into intense sports or outdoor activities.
