After the tragic death of the legendary actress Sridevi in February 2018, her husband, Boney Kapoor, faced immense grief and loss. He was deeply affected by the sudden passing of his beloved wife. In the aftermath, Boney Kapoor, a prominent film producer in the Indian film industry, focused on preserving Sridevi’s legacy.

Boney Kapoor opens up about her death
Producer Boney Kapoor who’s also shridevi’s husband was with her in dubai when she passed away. A lot of people had blamed him for killing sridevi due to her mysterious death. He was interrogated for 48 hours after she passed away in dubai. All kinds of tests were done on him to find the truth of the late actress’s death. Boney Kapoor came clean after going through this interrogation.
Even after coming clean in front of the world, he was still accused of murder by Indian media and also the fans of the actress.
Now, Boney Kapoor has finally opened up on the reason behind Sridevi’s death saying that she was on a salt free diet. That’s why, she got constant blackouts and this is the reason why she died in the bathtub of the hotel in dubai.
Sridevi was in her comeback phase in acting after coming back in years. She gave hit movies like English Vinglish and Last film Mom in 2017.
Boney Kapoor has said that because of this she was on a salt-free diet. She used to starve herself for hours to reduce weight and look good on screen. This was her dedication towards the industry she’s worked for years. This diet often led to her blackouts. This blackout happened once when she was shooting also and boney kapoor got to know about it from Nagarjuna.
Unfortunately, she passed away due to the same blackout issue in the bathtub as said by boney Kapoor.
Boney Kapoor said that this is what happened and he has nothing to add to this. The report by the Dubai police clearly says it was accidental drowning and not a natural death,” he maintained.
Now that the superstar is no more. The family has been cleared about what had happened. They should be allowed to move on with their lives and make their peace with the death of their family member.
It’s very difficult for the fans of the actress across the globe however. We should still give Sridevi’s family space to live their lives. As they are not just their family but also have their personal lives.
