Arjun Kapoor was Sridevi’s ‘favourite’ when she stayed at Boney Kapoor’s house before marriage: ‘He didn’t know what was really happening’

“When Sridevi came to my house, when this bomb blast had happened, she used to get along very well with Arjun. Arjun was her favourite when she stayed as a guest. He didn’t know what was happening,” he said, implying that Arjun was not aware of his father’s relationship at the time. Boney added, “I remember those days vividly but somehow, things don’t go the way you planned.”

In an earlier interview with Filmfare, Boney had shared that he proposed to Sridevi when they were both in Chennai, and afterwards, she stopped talking to him for 6-8 months. A few months later, the bomb blasts happened in Mumbai in March of 1993. “Those days Sridevi would be put up at the Hotel Sea Rock. When I came to know about the blasts, I immediately called up her mother and insisted that Sridevi would no longer be staying there. I sent my staff to get her home. Then on, till the release of Roop Ki Rani in May 1993, Sridevi stayed in my house,” he recalled.

Boney and Sridevi announced their marriage in 1997, months before the birth of their daughter Janhvi. They got married in June 1996. They welcomed daughter Khushi in 2000. Sridevi passed away in 2018.
