The Drastic Step Sridevi Took to Help Boney Kapoor Quit a Habit That Risked Her Life

Film producer Boney Kapoor, who celebrates his 69th birthday today, is renowned for his significant contributions to Bollywood, bringing hits like Mr. India, Judaai, Wanted, No Entry, and Mom to the big screen. Behind his successful professional life, Boney’s personal life has been filled with dramatic twists, especially due to his relationship with the legendary actress Sridevi.

Boney Kapoor’s Personal Life and Family Background

Born on November 11, 1955, into the renowned Kapoor film family, Boney Kapoor is the eldest child of the respected producer Surinder Kapoor. His younger siblings include well-known actors Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, and a sister, Reena Kapoor. Initially, Boney was married to Mona Shourie Kapoor, with whom he had two children: Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. However, things took a turn when he fell in love with Sridevi.

From Divorce to a New Beginning with Sridevi

Boney Kapoor’s affection for Sridevi led to a major shift in his personal life. He divorced Mona Shourie and married Sridevi in 1996. The couple welcomed two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, and remained a celebrated pair in the industry. Their love story, however, wasn’t free from challenges.

The Habit That Troubled Sridevi and Her Daughters

One of the biggest challenges in their relationship was Boney Kapoor’s smoking habit. This issue was not only concerning for Sridevi but also affected their daughters, Janhvi and Khushi. Janhvi once shared insights into how deeply this habit affected their family. Despite various attempts by Janhvi and Khushi to help their father quit smoking, nothing seemed to work.

Sridevi’s Unique and Dangerous Attempt

Janhvi once revealed in an interview how Sridevi took an extreme step to convince Boney Kapoor to quit smoking. Sridevi, who had been advised by doctors to eat non-vegetarian food to regain strength due to her fragile health, chose to ignore this medical advice. Instead, she committed to a vegetarian diet, hoping this drastic measure would persuade Boney to reconsider his habit.

Janhvi explained, “Mom was so determined that she went against the doctor’s recommendations. Despite Dad pleading with her to follow medical advice, she stood firm. Though at that moment, Dad didn’t stop smoking, he eventually did quit a few years later.”

A Sacrifice That Made a Lasting Impact

Sridevi’s decision was a testament to her dedication to her family and her desire for Boney’s well-being. Although it didn’t yield immediate results, her efforts left a lasting impression on Boney, who ultimately gave up the habit years after.

Boney Kapoor’s birthday is a time to celebrate not only his cinematic achievements but also the stories of love, struggle, and sacrifice that defined his life with Sridevi. The tale of how she put her health on the line for his well-being speaks volumes about their deep bond.
