Mandhira Kapur shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram following her brother Sunjay Kapur's sudden passing from a heart attack, revealing through a series of childhood photos that they hadn't spoken in the past four years due to a "silly sibling squabble" that had emotionally distanced them.
"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.
She further wrote, "I miss my dear brother and to think I will never see him again in this life is a hard truth, I know he is now with Dad and one day we will all be together once more but it is not enough. Thank you to everyone for all of your condolences, sincere wishes and kind words."

Sunjay Kapur, a leading figure in the automotive industry and Chairman of Sona Comstar, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest during a polo match in England.
His final rites were held on June 19 at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground (Dayanand Muktidham) in the presence of close family and friends. According to actor and family friend Suhel Seth, a bee sting during the match may have triggered the fatal heart attack.
