On 24th February 2018, Superstar Sridevi’s death was caused by accidentally drowning in a bathtub in Dubai. The news has left the nation in shock and disbelief. Now, after five years, her husband Boney Kapoor talks about the tragic death of Sridevi.
Boney Kapoor Talks about Sridevi’s Death:
During an Interview with The New Indian, Boney Kapoor spoke about the reasons behind her death.
Boney Kapoor revealed that Sridevi used to have Blackout which was caused due to her low-Salt diets and what exactly happened after the death. “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 the Indian media.”
“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 which came clearly stated it was accidental drowning”.
Boney Kapoor further shed some light on her strict light, “Our family physician always used to tell Sri (Sridevi) whenever you diet, because whenever she used to start a new film, she used to want to look good because the fact is what you are in real life, on–screen especially for cinemascope you will look broader. She wanted to make sure that she is chiselled, in good shape so that on screen she also looks like it”.
Talking about the issues caused due to her diet, Boney Said “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 (Blood Pressure) issue, don’t get into a severe diet where you avoid salt.
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.’
‘Since I’d got married to her, I knew this tendency of hers to do such a strict diet, and I used to push my daughter to tell her that she must have salt. I used to push her myself. Unfortunately, she didn’t take this seriously. We also thought maybe it can’t be this serious until the incident happened.
This is the first time Boney Kapoor has spoken about Sridevi’s death to the media. Boney married Sridevi in the year 1996 and had two daughters Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor. Last Month, the family members remembered the Late actress on her 60th Birth Anniversary.
