Film producer Boney Kapoor married Mona Shourie in 1983. The couple later welcomed two children, Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor, and were considered one of Bollywood’s well-known families.
In the early 1990s, India’s first female superstar Sridevi reportedly moved into Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie’s home after facing accommodation issues following the Mumbai blasts. Mona is said to have welcomed and supported the actress during that period.
Over time, Boney Kapoor developed feelings for Sridevi. The producer later admitted in interviews that he had fallen in love with the actress while she was staying with the family.
Their relationship gradually grew serious, eventually changing the lives of everyone involved. The romance became one of Bollywood’s most talked-about and controversial love stories.
Boney Kapoor and Sridevi secretly married at Shirdi on June 2, 1996. At the time, news of their wedding was kept away from the public eye.
The relationship became public in January 1997 when Sridevi was expecting her first child. Later that year, the couple welcomed daughter Janhvi Kapoor, followed by Khushi Kapoor in 2000.
Mona Shourie Kapoor moved on with her life and focused on raising Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. In later interviews, she openly spoke about the emotional impact of the separation.
In 2012, Mona Shourie Kapoor died after battling cancer at the age of 48, leaving behind her son Arjun and daughter Anshula.
Sridevi and Boney Kapoor remained married for more than two decades. In February 2018, the actress died in Dubai at the age of 54 after accidentally drowning in a hotel bathtub, leaving behind daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.
In later interviews, Boney Kapoor said he was drawn to Sridevi from the moment he met her and pursued her for years before they eventually became a couple. He often described her as the love of his life and said he remained deeply devoted to her throughout their marriage.
Sridevi rarely spoke publicly about her personal life, but she once said that Boney Kapoor stood by her during difficult times and made her feel secure.
