'It Was Not Natural', Boney Kapoor Opens Up On Wife Sridevi's Mysterious Death
Five years after wife Sridevi's mysterious death, Boney Kapoor has reacted to accusations of killing the actress and fouling it as an accident.
The first female superstar of Indian Cinema, Sridevi, had a tragic death. The actress passed away mysteriously during one of her Dubai visits and the cause of her death was quoted as ¡®accidental drowning¡¯. However, several people couldn¡¯t digest the reasons and assumed that Sridevi was killed by her husband Boney Kapoor.

The producer who was there with Sridevi in the hotel room at the time of her death was grilled by Indian media over mere assumptions.
Five years after that incident, Boney has now finally opened up on the same and detailed what all happened. While speaking to The New Indian, Boney said, ¡°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.¡±

He continued, ¡°That is how I got a clean chit from the Dubai police. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. Well, I said I have nothing more to say than what I have been saying. And they discovered there was no foul play.¡±
Boney Kapoor further revealed that he went through all tests including the lie detector test and that¡¯s how it was ruled out as accidental death by drowning.

Sridevi always had health issues!
Boney Kapoor revealed Sridevi was highly influenced by crash diets and how she tends to look ¡®broader and bigger¡¯ for the camera. Their family physician even advised Sridevi against her strict diet. He shared, ¡°She often used to starve; she wanted to look good.¡±

He continued, ¡°She would make sure that she is chiselled and in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good. As Sridevi avoided salt, her weight had come down to 46-47 kgs in the past. ¡°Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t take this seriously, and he also thought maybe it couldn¡¯t be this serious until the incident happened.¡±

He concluded, ¡°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, don't get into this severe diet where you avoid salt. It was unfortunate.¡±
Sridevi passed away on 24th February 2018 and is survived by her husband Boney and daughters-actresses Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
