Family says bee sting may have triggered cardiac arrest

Mandhira, in an Instagram post, shared a series of childhood pictures along with a note in which she opened up about how she and her brother had not spoken for the past four years and that a "silly sibling squabble" kept them apart emotionally.

"My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years; a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness. However, that will never take away what we were and what we had," read a part of her post.

"He always looked after me and my sister, a true big brother and a friend. What happened towards the end has been both horrible and pointless. I will never have my moments with him again. We will never be 'us,' and it is devastating that we didn't fix what had become broken. And so now, my heart is the same. I am sure he knew, despite our recent estrangement, that I loved him. In my soul, I am sure he shared the same hope as I--that one day we would be as amazing as we were for the first 47 years. Of this, I am sure, and take some small comfort," she said.

Kapur, a prominent figure in the automotive sector and Chairman of Sona Comstar, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest while participating in a polo match in England.

Kapur's final rites were performed at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground (Dayanand Muktidham) on June 19, with family and close associates present. According to a statement from family friend and actor Suhel Seth, a bee sting incident during the match may have triggered the heart attack.

This is so heartbreaking 💔 It's a wake-up call for all of us who have strained relationships with siblings over petty issues. In Indian families, we often let our egos come between love. May his soul rest in peace and may Mandhira find strength.

Very sad situation. But I appreciate Mandhira's honesty in sharing this. In our culture, we rarely talk about family rifts openly. Maybe her message will help others reconcile before it's too late. Life is too short for these grudges.

The Kapur family's loss reminds me of my own uncle who passed away without reconciling with his brother. We Indians need to stop this "jo hua so hua" attitude and make the first move to patch up. Family is everything.

While the story is tragic, I wonder why wealthy families with all resources can't resolve simple disputes? Money can't buy peace of mind. This could happen to anyone - rich or middle class. We must value relationships more than being right.

Mandhira's words "we didn't fix what had become broken" hit hard. In joint families, these small fights become mountains over time. Maybe we need more family counseling in India instead of just letting things fester. Om Shanti to Sunjay Kapur.
