Legendary Bollywood actress Sridevi, whose untimely passing on February 24, 2018, sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and the nation, continues to be remembered by her family and colleagues. Her husband, Boney Kapoor, recently shed light on what might have led to her unnatural death.
In a candid interview with The New Indian, Boney Kapoor opened up about the circumstances surrounding Sridevi’s demise, clarifying, “It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report clearly stated it was accidental.”
Boney Kapoor further mentioned that Sridevi worked hard to look good and as a result her heath suffered. Boney revealed, “She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she’s in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue.”
One incident shared by Boney Kapoor was narrated by Sridevi’s co-star Nagarjuna. He recounted, “It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away. Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that’s how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth.”
Sridevi’s final film, “Mom,” is a testament to her immense talent. Her portrayal of Devki Sabarwal earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress. The crime thriller, directed by Ravi Udyawar, hit theaters in 2017 and featured a stellar cast, including Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna.
