Boney Kapoor frequently reminisces and evokes memories by posting unseen photos with his late wife on social media. He never forgets her to mention her at press events, award shows and even media interviews. When host Komal Nahta inquired as to whether Sridevi had aspirations other than acting, such as becoming a writer, director, or producer, Kapoor immediately responded in the affirmative.

"Sridevi was everything you said," Boney Kapoor replied. He continued, "She was also hiding a filmmaker in herself. She would just stand and make out that the light is not perfect. She would do half her makeup herself, she used to decide what hairstyle goes with what costume, she used to guide, rather give sketch, to the designer quite a few times."

Boney Kapoor revealed Sridevi was deeply involved in the creative process and frequently went above and beyond what was expected of a performer. He related a story about how Sridevi rejected the first outfit sketches from the Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja set and had the designer fly to Kashmir to redo them.

"Sridevi changed the whole color theme, in bargain I had to change the whole set theme to match it," Boney Kapoor shared, showing how her vision influenced entire productions. He also credited her for shaping the careers of top designers. "You can check with Manish Malhotra how much she has contributed to their growth. I can honestly say that about her."

Boney Kapoor And Sridevi's Love Story

Boney and Sridevi's relationship started long before they were married. The veteran producer first collaborated with her on the sets of the 1987 blockbuster Mr. India. It was a dream come true for him to sign her to the movie, which also starred Amrish Puri and Anil Kapoor.

Still revered by her fans, Sridevi was heralded as India's first female superstar. Even while her untimely death in 2018 shocked the nation, memorials such as Boney Kapoor's former position and Janhvi Kapoor's quiet rites at Tirupati pay the deepest respect to her memory.
