Boney Kapoor Recently he expressed his love for his late wife Sridevi, who also motivated him to lose weight. Now after shedding 14 kilos, the filmmaker shared how his wife was proud of him after seeing his transformation. “I think my wife is still around me and motivating me,” Bonnie said.
At a recent event, Bonnie shared what inspired her to change her appearance after all these years.
The filmmaker said, “It all started when I started losing weight. I decided to lose weight and when I lost 13-14 kg, I thought, ‘Now I see the size, it’s good.’ I have come to 94-95 kg. Considering my height, I should be around 87-88. I still have 8-9 kgs to lose.
He added, “When I shot for Tu Jhuthi Mai Makkah, I had not even lost weight. I was my original self. After this shoot I decided (to lose weight) because when I looked at myself on screen, I didn’t like the way I looked. Maybe I was just playing the role I was assigned. But I still felt like I wasn’t looking the way I wanted to see myself on screen. That’s where the initial thinking started.”
Boney Kapoor credits Sridevi as an inspiration. He said, “But the seeds were sown by my wife. She always followed me to lose weight. She was a health conscious person. I used to go for walks with him. I used to go to the gym with her.”

‘She (Sridevi) was clear about when she wanted to eat, what she wanted to eat. I tried my best to do that but I couldn’t. For the past two years, while posting TJMM, whenever I see myself, I think I should… and my kids want me to look sharper, leaner, and better. Of course, I needed it in terms of health as well. I am 69 years old today so I am not getting any younger,’ added the filmmaker.
Boney, who is missing his wife Sridevi, continued, “I feel like Sri is still around me, my wife is still around me and is motivating me to lose weight. ‘Lose weight,'” she said. The doctor said the same thing – before even thinking about the transplant. I have to lose weight. I’m here, I’ve lost some weight and I’ve got some hair back. He said his wife would be proud of it.
Boney Kapoor and Sridevi got married in 1997. The couple welcomed two daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. In 2018, Sridevi allegedly drowned in a bathtub in a hotel in Dubai. Boney was previously married to Mona Shourie, with whom he has two children – Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor.
