Boney Kapoor opens up on Sridevi's death for 1st time; says he went through lie detector tests

Boney Kapoor opened up about wife, actor Sridevi's death for the first time and asserted that it was not natural but accidental.

In an interview with The New Indian, Boney addressed all claims of him behind the legendary actor's death and said that he went through all tests during the probe by the Dubai Police. He added that he was informed that there was a lot of pressure on the case from Indian media.

'It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. That is how I got a clean chit from the Dubai police. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. Well, I said I have nothing more to say than what I have been saying. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental death by drowning,' he said.

Boney also spoke about Sridevi's health and shared that their family physician always advised her against a strict diet.

He revealed that she often used to starve to look good and had blackouts on a couple of occasions but the doctor kept on saying she had low blood pressure issues.

'She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She would make sure that she is chiselled and in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good,' Boney said.

He said Sridevi had come down to 46-47 kgs in past and cited examples of films like English Vinglish.

'From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue, don't get into this severe diet where you avoid salt. It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away. Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that’s how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth,” he also said.
