Bollywood actress Sridevi’s sudden demise in Dubai left her family devastated. The Diva has left behind a loving husband Boney Kapoor and two stunning daughters Janhvi and Khushi. The 54 year old was named the Best Actress posthumously, for her role as a vengeful mother in the Hindi film ‘Mom’. Her husband and daughters released an emotional statement on the occasion, thanking the Indian government and fans for the honour.
Sridevi was much loved by her husband Boney Kapoor and the duo were always there for each other. Here we bring an old interview of Boney Kapoor in which he has recalled about a heart touching gesture that shows Sridevi’s immense love and care for him.

In his interview, Boney has said, “She’s involved with me every second. She has completely surrendered herself to this role. We trust each other. We are supportive of each other, though most of the support comes from her. She’s always prepared to face the consequences of my decisions. My highs are her highs and my lows are her lows. Post 2000, I ran into financial troubles. She stood by me. She even walked barefoot from our home (Lokhandwala Complex) to the Siddhivinayak Temple (Prabhadevi) praying for my well-being.”
In the year 2005, Boney’s film ‘No Entry’ was facing minor problems during the time of its release. Yet again, Sridevi walked barefoot from their residence to the Siddhivinayak Temple to pray for it. “During the release of ‘No Entry’ she walked barefoot to Siddhivinayak for me for nine weeks, as the film was having hiccups. I am lucky and blessed to have her in my life,” added the loving husband.
Love truly makes you do anything and everything, but in the end, it’s all worth it. Sridevi’s prayers were certainly answered when ‘No Entry’ released smoothly and went on to become the biggest hit of the year.
Their love for each other is truly rock solid standing the test of time.
