Boney Kapoor’s Key Remarks on Sridevi’s Death

On Sridevi’s birth anniversary, fans across India are remembering the legendary actress and her remarkable journey in Indian cinema. Starting her career as a child artist, Sridevi went on to become one of the most celebrated actresses in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films. Her sudden death at a Dubai hotel on February 24, 2018, shocked the film industry and the country. A forensic report later concluded that she died due to accidental drowning in a bathtub.

Boney Kapoor previously revealed in an interview that Dubai police questioned him for nearly 48 hours and also conducted a lie-detector test amid intense media pressure. He said investigators found no conspiracy or foul play and subsequently gave him a clean chit. Kapoor also said Sridevi followed an extremely strict diet and often avoided salt because she wanted to maintain a slim appearance. According to him, this contributed to episodes of low blood pressure. Actor Nagarjuna had also reportedly recalled an earlier incident in which Sridevi fainted in a bathroom while following a strict diet.
