Boney Kapoor married Sridevi in 1997.
Boney Kapoor opened up about his mother’s reaction after she sensed that he had feelings for Sridevi.
Boney Kapoor revealed an interested titbit from the days that he was dating Sridevi. The producer, who was married when he first met Sridevi, revealed his mother had a strong reaction when she first sensed that something was brewing between him and Sridevi. In a recent interview, Boney revealed that while his first wife — Mona Shourie Kapoor — was aware of his feelings for her, his mother sensed he had feelings for Sridevi and decided to take things into her own hands. He revealed his mother asked Sridevi to tie him a rakhi.
“My mother could see (my feelings for Sridevi). On one of the Raksha Bandhans, she gave a thaali (puja plate) with Rakhi to Sridevi and asked her to tie me a Rakhi (laughs). Sridevi just went to the room and I told her, ‘Don’t worry, don’t bother, keep this thaali here.’ She didn’t understand what the rakhi was all about,” Boney told Zoom TV.
“My love for Sridevi was there. I wooed for almost five to six years before I reached the peak or rather I got to know I am in a good space with her,” he added.
Boney was married to Mona when he fell in love with Sridevi. Speaking about Mona, Boney said that she realised he had feelings for Sridevi after noticing that he went out of his way to do a few things for Sridevi. “I do feel guilty but I was very honest with my wife, Arjun’s mother, Mona. She very well knew what my feelings were for Sri. In fact, Sri had stayed in the house much before we got married. I went out of my way for a lot of things where she is concerned. So (Mona) could see it,” he added.
Sridevi and Boney got married in 1997. While Boney already had two children from his first marriage with Mona (Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor), he welcomed two daughters — Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor — with Sridevi.
