The mysterious death of legendary actress Sridevi in a Dubai bathtub in 2018 had left the world in shock and led to numerous conspiracy theories. After five years of silence, her husband, Boney Kapoor, who was with her at the time, has opened up about the circumstances surrounding her tragic demise. In an interview with The New Indian, Boney Kapoor sheds light on the events leading to her death and dispels some of the speculations that had arisen.
Boney Kapoor categorically stated that Sridevi’s death was not a result of natural causes but, rather, an accidental one. He revealed that he refrained from discussing it extensively in the past because he had already cooperated with investigators during the initial inquiries. He mentioned that the intense scrutiny was largely due to pressure from the Indian media.
During the investigation, Boney Kapoor underwent various tests, including lie detector tests, to determine the circumstances of Sridevi’s death. These tests ultimately confirmed that there was no foul play involved. The official report concluded that her passing was the result of accidental drowning.
Boney Kapoor shed light on Sridevi’s health and dietary habits. He revealed that she often went on strict no-salt diets to maintain her appearance for her on-screen roles. Her desire to look her best led her to avoid salt, as many women believed it could lead to water retention. This strict dieting had caused her to experience blackouts on a few occasions due to low blood pressure issues.
Sridevi’s husband shared a heartbreaking incident from her past, explaining that during one of her movies, she had been on a crash diet, which ultimately resulted in an accident. She had fallen in the bathroom and broken her teeth. Boney Kapoor knew about her tendency to follow such extreme diets and had encouraged her to include salt in her diet. Unfortunately, this advice was not taken seriously. The world continues to remember Sridevi as one of Indian cinema’s greatest icons, and her legacy lives on in the hearts of her fans and loved ones.
