Boney Kapoor, the renowned film producer, has recently unveiled unsettling information regarding the untimely demise of the legendary actress Sridevi. On February 24, 2018, the beloved actor passed away in Dubai while attending a family wedding, a tragedy that left the world in shock. Initially attributed to accidental drowning, speculations, and conspiracy theories swirled around the media landscape.
Speaking exclusively to The New Indian, Kapoor unequivocally stated that Sridevi's passing was indeed accidental, refuting any notions of natural causes. Recounting the harrowing experience, Kapoor recounted a grueling 48-hour police interrogation by Dubai authorities, pressured by the intensity of Indian media interest. Faced with insinuations of his involvement in her demise, Kapoor, who had already undergone a rigorous investigation and lie detector tests in Dubai, chose to remain silent.
"I reiterated my stance that there was nothing more to add. They concluded there was no foul play. I underwent all tests, including lie detector examinations, and the final report unequivocally affirmed accidental drowning," affirmed Boney Kapoor.
Delving further, Boney Kapoor shared insights into Sridevi's relentless pursuit of physical perfection for the screen. Disciplining herself with stringent dietary regimens, she whittled her weight down to a mere 46-47 kilograms during the filming of 'English Vinglish.' Strikingly, she entirely forsook salt from her diet, a choice that would later have repercussions.
"Since our marriage, there were instances of fainting spells attributed to her persistently low blood pressure. The doctor advised against extreme diets that omitted salt," Kapoor revealed.
He recounted an incident relayed by Nagarjuna, wherein Sridevi, in the throes of a crash diet, suffered a bathroom fall resulting in dental injury. Kapoor himself only learned of her drastic dieting practices after their union. Tragically, the severity of her condition was not fully realized until the aforementioned incident occurred.
In this candid interview, Boney Kapoor paints a heartrending portrait of a beloved icon, highlighting the sacrifices and struggles that shaped Sridevi's journey in the spotlight.
