THROWBACK! Boney Kapoor Recalls How Late Wife Sridevi Stood By Him During Financial Crisis; Filmmaker Says, ‘Sri Supported Me In A Very Big Way’
Bollywood filmmaker Boney Kapoor has never shied away from talking about his life with his late wife, actress Sridevi. He and their daughters Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor often remember her as a force who always had their back. In one of his earlier interactions with Komal Nahta, the producer had opened up about facing a tough time when he suffered a major financial crisis. Talking about it, he had explained that it was his own mistake as he let his passion be driven off by indulgence. 

Taking the examples of big names from Bollywood, he stated that many go through such problems. Quoted by BollywoodShaadis, he added, “In our industry, everyone from Raj Kapoor to Amitabh Bachchan has gone through ups and downs. It happens, especially, to those filmmakers who are passionate. But the fact is, that they overcame it. I’ve also overcome it, and at the same time, I’ve made up my mind, I’ll remain passionate, but I won’t become indulgent.” ALSO READ: Boney Kapoor Refuses To Pose With Daughter Janhvi Kapoor’s Rumoured Boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya; Filmmaker Says, ‘Saath Mein Nahi’- WATCH

Kapoor said, “God supported me, my family supported me, and Sri supported me in a very big way. She was like a rock. She understood me. She knew that I hadn’t used the money for the wrong reasons.
