Boney Kapoor, the renowned producer of Indian cinema, recently sat down for an interview where he didn’t just talk about movies but peeled back the curtains on his personal life. Amidst controversies and successes, Kapoor has been known for his intriguing family tales.
Mom’s Quirky Reaction
One of the most curious anecdotes Kapoor shared revolved around his late wife, the iconic Sridevi, and his mother’s reaction to their relationship. Kapoor reminisced about a Raksha Bandhan when his mother, in a rather unconventional move, handed Sridevi a puja plate with a rakhi, asking her to tie it on him. It was a gesture that left Kapoor chuckling as he remembered how Sridevi, perhaps puzzled, quietly retreated to their room. Kapoor, understanding the situation, reassured her, explaining the significance of the rakhi and gently asking her to keep it aside.
Blending Families
Kapoor’s journey in love and family hasn’t been without its twists and turns. He tied the knot with Sridevi in 1996, blending their lives together. The couple shared two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, who are now making their own mark in the world of acting. However, before his union with Sridevi, Kapoor had a life with Mona Shourie, with whom he had two children, Arjun and Anshula.
Acceptance and Adjustments
Kapoor’s openness extended to discussing the challenges his children faced in accepting his remarriage. He spoke candidly about Arjun’s initial struggle with anger and frustration following the divorce from Mona and his subsequent marriage to Sridevi. It was a period of adjustment for the entire family, with emotions running high and relationships evolving over time.
Professional Pursuits
Amidst the personal anecdotes, Kapoor also delved into his upcoming projects, notably “Maidaan,” a sports drama featuring Ajay Devgn in the lead role. With talents like Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Rudranil Ghosh on board, the film promises to be a compelling watch. Co-produced by Kapoor himself and Zee Studios, “Maidaan” showcases Kapoor’s continued commitment to bringing engaging stories to the silver screen.
Conclusion
Boney Kapoor‘s interview offered a glimpse into the complexities of familial relationships, the joys of unexpected moments, and the challenges of blending families. From quirky Raksha Bandhan tales to navigating remarriage realities, Kapoor’s journey is a testament to the resilience of love and the importance of understanding and acceptance within a family. As he continues to make his mark in the world of cinema, Kapoor’s personal stories remind us that behind the glitz and glamour, lies the beating heart of family bonds and personal growth.
