When Boney Kapoor revealed why Sridevi stopped talking to him after he proposed to her: 'You’re married and have two kids...'

Boney Kapoor and Sridevi’s love story was anything but conventional—it unfolded amidst a storm of controversies. At the time, Boney was married to Mona Shourie Kapoor and had two children, Arjun and Anshula, when he fell for Sridevi. His confession of love, however, didn’t sit well with her initially. Shocked by his feelings, Sridevi distanced herself from him for nearly six months. Despite the emotional upheaval and public scrutiny, the two eventually tied the knot, turning their turbulent beginning into a lasting bond.‘She Didn’t Speak to Me for Six Months’Boney once revealed that it took him nearly five to six years to win Sridevi’s heart. In a throwback interview with ABP, he shared that when he first confessed his feelings, Sridevi was shocked and questioned how he could say such a thing while being married with two kids. She then cut off all contact for six months. But fate had other plans. In 1995, when Sridevi’s mother fell seriously ill, Boney stood by her like a pillar of strength. His unwavering support during that difficult period gradually drew Sridevi closer, marking the beginning of their emotional journey together.Mona Kapoor’s Silent StruggleMeanwhile, Mona Kapoor found herself caught in an emotional storm she hadn’t seen coming. The betrayal stung doubly—her husband had fallen for someone else, and that someone happened to be Sridevi, whom she had once considered a friend. Despite the heartbreak, Boney chose to be honest with Mona, making sure she heard about his feelings for Sridevi directly from him, rather than from anyone else.Boney Kapoor: ‘I Told Mona Everything’“I have always believed in honesty, and I told Mona everything. Love is never perfect, and sometimes, emotions are beyond our control. But I made sure to be transparent about my feelings,” Boney Kapoor revealed in the same interview, reflecting on the emotional complexity of that chapter in his life.On June 2, 1996, Sridevi and Boney Kapoor tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Shirdi. The couple later welcomed their daughters—Janhvi Kapoor in 1997 and Khushi Kapoor in 2000—completing their family away from the public eye.
