Boney Kapoor admits he ‘gets attracted to females’, but Sridevi will always be the love of his life: ‘Till my dying day…’

Boney Kapoor opened up about his evolving relationship with Sridevi, and said that couples reveal their true selves to each other only after seven years of marriage.

Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi have two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.

Film producer Boney Kapoor opened up about the deep love that he has for his late wife, Sridevi, who passed away in 2018. He said that he will always love her, even if he feels an attraction towards other women. In an interview, Boney also spoke about the seven-year itch, and said that couples reveal their true selves to each other only a few years into their relationship. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor tied the knot in 1996; he proposed to her when he was already married with two kids, leading to complications.

In an interview with ABP Live, he said, “We were inseparable. I was in love with her, I am in love with her, and I will be in love with her till my dying day… When the most sought-after beauty, when the most sought-after personality becomes convinced to spend the rest of her life with you, what greater joy could there be? I never cheated on her, I never had to look here or there. She was my everything.”

Boney continued, “Even today, I may have (female) friends, I may get attracted to females around me, but as far as she’s concerned, the passion and love will never go away.” Boney spoke about how relationships evolve over time, and how couples lower any guards they might have initially had some years into their marriage. He said, “Opposites attract. But temperamentally opposite people get closer day by day.”

He continued, “You learn so many things about your partner over the journey. You learn to become careful about not doing things they don’t like. Both sides grow to understand each other. I’m a north Indian Punjabi, Sri was from the south… Initially, everything is flowery; you want to do anything for her. But especially after seven years, you truly get to know your partner; their likes and dislikes. They feel that they have the freedom to truly express themselves. For the first seven years, they just bear everything, but after seven years, especially after the kids are older and the women realise they have more power over you, then they reveal their true feelings.”

Sridevi and Boney have two daughters, actors Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Boney has two children from his first marriage to the late Mona Shourie – Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor.
