Boney Kapoor recalls memory from 1990 of wife Sridevi on 62nd birth anniversary

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor shares a touching memory of Sridevi's 27th birthday, revealing their playful relationship and love story.

"With every passing day she is getting younger - Boney Kapoor"

Mumbai, Aug 13

On the late legendary actress Sridevi's 62nd birth anniversary on Wednesday, filmmaker Boney Kapoor took a trip down memory lane and reminisced about a cherished memory from 1990, when his wife mistook a compliment for teasing.

Boney took to Instagram, where he shared an old picture from Sridevi's 27th birthday in 1990. He revealed that at her birthday party in Chennai, he wished her a "happy 26th birthday" on purpose, which the late star misunderstood and thought he was teasing her.

In the throwback image, the actress appears to be warning Boney with a smile about teasing her.

For the caption, Boney shared: "In 1990 her birthday party in chennai when I wished her happy 26th birthday while it was her 27th birthday to make her feel that she had gone younger & it was a compliment , that with every passing day she is getting younger but she taught (thought) I was teasing her."

Boney often shares photographs of Sridevi and shares anecdotes about their old days on social media. Last month, he posted a throwback picture of Sridevi from before they got married.

For the caption, Boney wrote: "Watching meeeee and smiling, this was before we got married."

For the unversed, Boney and Sridevi fell in love on the sets of the 1987 film "Mr. India". The couple tied the knot back in 1996 and were blessed with two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.

However, Sridevi passed away aged 54 in 2018 in Dubai after an accidental drowning.

In March, Boney had shared some throwback pictures of Sridevi from the time when she was presented the 'Mr India' silver jubilee trophy by Raj Kapoor.

He wrote: "Sri being presented Mr India Silver jubilee trophy happily by Raj Uncle & in the 3rd picture listening to Raj uncle intensely probably Raj uncle was narrating the plot of 'Gungat ke Pat Khol' for which he wanted to cast her as I remember he had mentioned to me earlier during one of my chats with him during our regular late evening sessions of chatting about several topics in fact I was called Cinderella by his family members."

He further revealed that when Raj Kapoor met Sridevi during the event, the showman told his wife, Krishna Kapoor, "Wait has been worth it".

"My mother is also seen in the 4th picture where Raj uncle's comment of him meeting her is there too, addressing Krishna aunty 'Wait has been worth it' upon meeting Sri", he wrote.

Heartwarming to see Boney Kapoor keeping Sridevi's memories alive. But I wonder if constantly sharing these personal moments on social media is healthy? Maybe he should consider writing a memoir instead.

That birthday anecdote is so cute! Typical Indian husband-wife jhagda 😂 My dad does similar things to mom. Sridevi was and will always remain the queen of Bollywood. Chandni, Mr. India, Lamhe - each performance was iconic!

Raj Kapoor calling her "worth the wait" says everything about Sridevi's stardom. Today's actresses have millions of followers but none have that X-factor. The industry needs to preserve her legacy better - maybe a biopic?

Emotional reading this. My mother used to imitate Sridevi's dance moves from "Hawa Hawai" during family functions. She left us too soon. Boney Kapoor's love for her even after all these years is truly inspiring.

Interesting to see how Boney keeps connecting Sridevi with the Kapoor family legacy. But let's not forget she was already a superstar before marrying into the family - her Tamil and Telugu films were massive hits too!
