Drop what you’re doing and head straight to Boney Kapoor’s Instagram account. The producer has set fitness goals by sharing a before-and-after photo of his massive weight loss transformation. On the left side of the collage, we see a throwback post from 2004 in which Boney poses next to his late wife, actress Sridevi. On the right we see Boney in his new slim avatar. If that’s not fitness inspiration, we don’t know what is. When captioning the post, Boney didn’t use any words, just a few happy faces. While commenting on Boney’s post, his cousin, actor Sanjay Kapoor, wrote, “Wow,” and dropped clapping emojis. Actor Darshan Kumaar also joined in with clapping hands and a black heart emoji.
Boney Kapoor’s wife, legendary Indian actress Sridevi, tragically died due to an accidental drowning in her hotel room in Dubai on February 24, 2018. Last year, during an interview with The New Indian, Boney reflected on Sridevi’s disciplined dietary habits. He also discussed the challenging interrogation and polygraph test he underwent after Sridevi’s death. The producer shared: “It wasn’t a natural death, it was an accidental death. I thought I would never talk about it because I talked about it together for almost 24-48 hours, when I was being investigated and interrogated, and that’s how I got a clean chit from Dubai Police. In fact, the officer said we had to do this, we had to experience this because there was a lot of pressure from the Indian media. They found that there was no foul play involved. I went through all the interrogations, including the lie detector. The report that appeared clearly stated that it was an accidental death by drowning.”
He continued, “Our doctor used to tell Sri (Sridevi) when you were on a diet because whenever she started a new film, she wanted to look good because the fact is what you are in real life, on screen. especially for cinemascope you will look wider. She wanted to make sure she was chiseled so she looked that way on screen… She’s blacked out a few times since she was married to me. The doctor kept telling her that you suffer from low blood pressure and that you should not follow a strict diet that avoids salt. Since most females believe that salt causes water retention, that is why your face is swollen. That is one of the reasons why Sri avoided salt. We always told her that even when you eat a salad, just sprinkle some salt on it. Click here to read all about it.
