Boney Kapoor breaks silence on Sridevi’s 'accidental' death, says, ‘She used to starve...’

Legendary & versatile actress Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, and her untimely death sent shockwaves across the nation. Janhvi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor & others opened up about how they were dealing with this loss at that time. Now, filmmaker and late actress’ husband, Boney Kapoor opened up about her passing away and told The New Indian, “It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental.”

He added, “She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she’s in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue.” He recalled an incident, which was narrated by Nagarjuna and said, “It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away. Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that’s how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth.” Sridevi’s last film was _Mom_ , which also featured Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Akshaye Khanna and others in prominent roles. She was honoured with the National Award for her portrayal of Devki Sabarwal in the crime thriller, which was directed by Ravi Udyawar.
