Today is the 4th death anniversary of India’s first female superstar, Sridevi. The actress, who passed away at the age of 54 on Feb 24th, 2018, had a remarkable career spanning 50 years. She began her acting journey at the young age of 4 and delivered several classic Bollywood films.
Sridevi was a private person. She rarely gave interviews or discussed her private life with the media. However, once, in the early 90s, Sridevi got candid and shared her views on marriage. It happened during an event for her 1993 film ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’.
The interviewer called Sridevi ‘Roop Ki Rani’, and asked her about her real-life emperor. Sridevi replied, “I have to find one. I have to ask my mum about it.”
The journalist then asked if she believes in arranged marriages, to which, the actress replied, “Yes.”
She added, “I don’t want to take risks. If something goes wrong, I can blame my mum.”
She then said, “I am joking. But yes, I believe in arranged marriages.”
Contrary to her initial beliefs, Sridevi did take a risk and fell in love with producer Boney Kapoor, who was already married to Mona Kapoor. Boney eventually divorced his first wife in 1996 and married Sridevi in the same year.
Sridevi and Boney Kapoor became parents to two beautiful daughters- Janhvi Kapoor (born in 1997) and Khushi Kapoor (born in 2000).
