Boney Kapoor fell in love with Sridevi while he was married to Mona.
Veteran film producer Boney Kapoor, known for delivering blockbuster films in Bollywood, has had a personal life marked by two significant marriages. Boney Kapoor’s first marriage was to Mona Shourie Kapoor in 1983. Despite their marriage lasting over a decade, the relationship eventually ended when Boney Kapoor fell in love with Bollywood’s iconic actress, Sridevi, whom he married in 1996. In a recent chat, Boney has made new revelations about his personal life.
Talking to Chanda Kochhar on her YouTube channel, Boney shared, “My first wife, I told her, I had confessed to her.” “Look at this ring that I am wearing, and the ring that she (Sridevi) was wearing. Both were bought by Mona. I told her openly and that’s how she brought the children up without creating any kind of hatred towards me or the other kids,” he added.
“I have a letter from Arjun where he asked me, ‘Why don’t you come home?’ I used to feel bad. What could I do? I was divided. On one side was my wife (Sridevi), and on the other side were my kids. I couldn’t leave Sridevi alone; her parents had passed, she was alone. But here, at least my kids were with their mother, and they were living with their grandparents,” he said.
Boney said, “I love my children. I loved them even more back then. And I had to go through things… I had to be very strong to handle some situations. Because I love all my children. And I respected my ex-wife because she never played this game of putting one against the other. Kids felt bad because they couldn’t see their mom suffering, which I understand. And I feel blessed now, all four of them are together.”
While the circumstances around his second marriage sparked controversy, especially concerning Mona Kapoor’s emotional and public response, over time, both families found a way to coexist respectfully. Tragically, Sridevi passed away in 2018, leaving Boney Kapoor and their daughters devastated.
Today, Boney Kapoor remains a central figure in both Bollywood and his blended family. He often speaks with pride about all his children and shares memories of both his late wife, Sridevi, and his first marriage. His personal journey — marked by love, loss, and reconciliation — reflects the complexities of relationships under the spotlight of fame.
