Boney was married to Mona (Shourie) Kapoor and had two children, Arjun and Anshula, when he met Sridevi.

He was once in Chennai with his friend and his wife and Sridevi, her mother were to meet him for lunch. ‘But her mom unexpectedly fell unwell and dropped out. This was the first time Sri had stepped out without a family member,’ Boney told Filmfare in an old interview.

Later, when the serial bomb blasts took place in Mumbai in March 1993, Boney immediately called up Sridevi’s mother and insisted that the actress should no longer be staying at Hotel Sea Rock. He then sent his staff to pick her up and brought her to his home. Till the release of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja in May 1993, Sridevi stayed in Boney’s house and soon their strained relationship grew back to normal again.
Many might not know that Boney had first met Sridevi on the sets of Mr India in 1984. It was almost like a dream come true for the producer. He was so madly in love with her that he had flown to Switzerland where Sridevi was shooting for Chandni. He just wanted to be close to her. And when he came back, he told his wife Mona that he has feelings for Sridevi.
Later, when Sridevi’s mother died, Boney was there to emotionally support her and they came even more close to each other. Tragedy struck Sridevi again when her father took his last breath after she finished shooting for Lamhe. Boney was there with her throughout her low phase and vice-versa. And the rest is history.
Sridevi died on February 24, 2018 after reportedly drowning in a bathtub in a Dubai hotel. Her death was declared as an accident. On her 57th birth anniversary, Boney had taken to social media to reveal how every joy in his life is incomplete without her. They have two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi.
