Sanjay Kapoor, once one of India’s wealthiest industrialists, passed away on June 12 due to a sudden heart attack. Known as much for his high-profile business ventures as for his personal relationships, Sanjay’s life was a mix of success, glamour, and controversy.

From Heir to Business Mogul

Sanjay Kapoor was born into privilege — his father Surinder Kapoor was a pioneer in India’s auto component industry and founder of the Sona Group. With a keen eye for business from a young age, Sanjay studied abroad before taking over the reins of his family empire. Under his leadership, the group flourished, and he eventually secured a place among the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, with a net worth of $1.5 billion (approx. ₹12,450 crore).

A Glance at His Personal Life

Beyond his boardroom triumphs, Sanjay was no stranger to headlines — especially when it came to his three marriages:

1. Nandita Mahtani

Sanjay’s first marriage was with Nandita Mahtani, a well-known Mumbai-based fashion designer. Their relationship, however, ended in separation around the year 2000. Nandita later became known for her association with cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Dino Morea.

2. Karisma Kapoor

In 2003, Sanjay tied the knot with Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor. The wedding was a grand affair, widely covered by media. They have two children together. However, the marriage eventually turned bitter, leading to a highly publicized divorce in 2016, marked by legal battles and allegations. Karisma even accused Sanjay of harassment and mistreatment during the proceedings.

3. Third Marriage (Name Undisclosed)

Though not as well-documented as his previous relationships, Sanjay was reported to have married a third time after his split from Karisma. However, details of this relationship — including the identity of his third wife — remain largely private and unconfirmed publicly.

A Life Full of Contrasts

Sanjay Kapoor led a life filled with extreme highs and personal lows. From being one of India’s richest industrialists to enduring a tumultuous marriage with a Bollywood A-lister, his story has been one of ambition, controversy, and tragedy.

With his sudden passing, many are now reflecting on the complex legacy he leaves behind — not only as the head of a ₹12,000 crore empire but also as a figure whose personal life often overshadowed his corporate achievements.
