Boney heads to Dubai According to Khaleej Times , a newspaper based out of Dubai, Boney left for Dubai to surprise Sridevi on 24 February. After reaching the country, he headed towards Sridevi’s hotel and surprised her by arriving unannounced at around 5 30 pm. The two had plans to go out for dinner and had a brief chat before Sridevi went to the restroom to get ready. Meanwhile, Boney was reportedly in the room and called out to her. Upon receiving no response, he forced the door open and found her lying unconscious in the bathtub. After a few failed attempts to revive her, he reportedly called a friend and then the police was informed about the incident.
