Filmmaker Boney Kapoor opened up about the tragic death of his late wife and actress Sridevi after over seven years. Boney Kapoor revealed that Sridevi was very concerned about her appearance due to which she used to follow a strict diet. He talked about the actress’s obsession with looking perfect, sharing that she would often starve herself, which sometimes led to blackouts. But, what happened on February 24, 2018 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates?

In a conversation with The New Indian, Boney Kapoor revealed, “She always wanted to look good because when you are on screen, you look much broader, and she wanted to make sure that she is chiselled and in good shape to maintain good looks on screen. It was not just for the film that she was doing then. She had come down to 46-47 kgs. You would notice it in English Vinglish (2012).”

“Before this incident, she had a blackout on a number of occasions and doctors kept telling her 'You have low BP (blood pressure) so do not follow a severe diet and don't avoid salt'. Most women believe salt increases water retention that's why you look puffy. That was one reason,” he further explained.

Kapoor also recalled a story told to him by Telugu star Nagarjuna after Sridevi’s death. “After her demise, Nagarjuna came to our home to offer condolences and told me that she was on a crash diet when she was shooting for a film with him. He recollected that she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth and had artificial caps,” he said.

Sridevi’s Death: Sridevi was pronounced dead on February 24, 2018 at 19:00 GMT in her hotel room where her husband had found her. Initially, Sanjay Kapoor cited cardiac arrest as the cause of her death, but the investigation began early Sunday morning around 2:30, and the case was transferred to Dubai Public Prosecution by Dubai Police, where General Department of Forensic Evidence, Dubai revealed that the cause of death was "accidental drowning". The toxicology report also revealed that traces of alcohol were found in her body and water was found in her lungs.
