Some love stories are unique. They are not your regular girl meets boy stories where both parties fall in love and live happily ever after. Such was the love story of Boney Kapoor and Sridevi, which started on a tumultuous note and ended with the actress' death in 2018 after accidentally drowning in her bathtub.
On the producer's birthday, let us recall the time when he revealed he had confessed his feelings for Sridevi in front of his then wife Mona Shourie. Boney and Sridevi's love story After watching Sridevi in Solva Sawan, Boney decided to cast her in his film, Mr India. The actress' mom used to handle her career and he needed to impress her.
During India Today Woman Summit 2013, Boney recalled, 'Sri was the highest paid actor, among the females. I knew she had done a film for around Rs 8-8.5 lakh, and probably, this was her mother’s way of negotiating.
I heard her figure and I said ‘No, I’ll pay Rs 11 lakh.’ She thought I was a mad producer from Bombay who is offering more than what she asked for! Well, that’s how I got close to her mother." ALSO READ: Khushi Kapoor Wishes 'Coolest' Dad Boney Kapoor On Birthday.
