Sunjay Kapoor Death: Karisma Kapoor's former husband and celebrated businessman, Sunjay Kapoor, passed away at the age of 53. His sudden demise has sent shockwaves through the Bollywood and corporate worlds. However, few know that Karisma Kapoor was not Sunjay Kapoor's first wife. His first marriage was to Nandita Mahtani, a well-known personality in the glamour world.
Sunjay Kapoor's personal life and relationships were as complicated as any film script. After his first marriage ended, he married Karisma Kapoor, but that too didn't last long. Let's explore some unknown yet fascinating aspects of Sunjay's first wife, Nandita Mahtani's life.
Nandita Mahtani: Queen of the Designing World
Nandita Mahtani is a fashion designer and entrepreneur with a significant presence in the fashion world. Her work is associated with several Bollywood stars. Nandita and Sunjay Kapoor met in London, and they married in 1996. However, the marriage didn't last long, and they divorced in 2000. At that time, it was rumored that the divorce was due to Sunjay Kapoor's extramarital affair. Interestingly, despite the divorce, they maintained a friendly relationship.
A Pre-existing Connection with the Kapoor Family
Nandita's connection with the Kapoor family wasn't limited to Sunjay Kapoor. She attended Karisma Kapoor's family functions and reportedly maintained a good relationship with Karisma. Furthermore, Nandita was spotted at the sangeet ceremony of Aadar Jain (Raj Kapoor's grandson), where she posed with Karan Johar. This clearly indicates that she remained connected with the Kapoor family even after her divorce.
Nandita Mahtani's name was also linked with Karisma's brother and actor, Ranbir Kapoor. Reports suggested that they grew close at one point. Ranbir even mentioned in an interview that he had a crush on Nandita. However, they never publicly acknowledged their relationship.
Relationship and Business Venture with Dino Morea
Another notable relationship of Nandita's was with Dino Morea. They launched a lifestyle and fitness company together called Playground. The couple's chemistry garnered significant media attention. It was speculated that they might marry soon, but they broke up in 2016. The reason behind their breakup remains unclear, but Dino and Nandita were a popular couple in the fashion and film industry.
In 2021, Nandita made another relationship public when she announced her engagement to action hero Vidyut Jammwal. Pictures of their engagement went viral on social media, and fans loved the new couple. However, this relationship also didn't last long. They broke up amidst wedding planning, reportedly due to Vidyut's commitments.
