It was the crazy 90s period when almost everyone from the industry was busy belting out at least ten films a year (yet they met), when parents were the roadway, or you can say PR managers for the actors and actresses (yet he impressed her) and when offering Rs. 11 lacs for a movie role at that time was no real deal (yet he did that) – is when Mr. India producer Boney Kapoor, defying all odds, made it to a controversial affair and a happily-ever-after marriage with the goddess of beauty, Sridevi.

2nd June 2017 is when Sridevi & Boney Kapoor celebrates their 21st wedding anniversary. This beautiful couple tied the knot in 1996 and has been in love ever since.
What Sridevi believes about “love”?
Love for her is a different concept away from saying I love you or falling for physical traits. She once mentioned that her ideal partner would be a man who is taller than her and has good looks. Does Boney belong to the category?

Nevertheless, she also believes in the virginity of a woman being her most prized possession that she takes to her husband's house after getting married. And indulging in sex before marriage is something that she can never manage! But her’s is altogether a different story. Isn't it?
What Sridevi believes about marriage?
Being from a traditional family, Sridevi believes in marriages being made in heaven and being sacred. Two people should be madly in love for the success of their relationship is what she concludes.
But in fact, she is the one (in Bollywood) who (publically) accepted about her pregnancy before marriage. Sridevi was already seven months pregnant when the two, Sri and Boney Kapoor announced their wedding.

The couple tied the knot in the year 1996, and now they have two beautiful daughters, Jhanvi being the eldest and Khushi is the younger one.
What Sridevi has to say about her beloved husband, Boney Kapoor?
Boney Kapoor has been in love with Sridevi since the day he watched her Tamil movie during the late 70s.

He made every possible attempt to get close to the actress who was aloof then. Even when Sridevi’s mother got sick while Sridevi had always been shooting, Boney came to the rescue and supported her mother and Sridevi with every aspect he could.
His famous works involve Mr. India - 1987, Sirf Tum - 1999, Shakti: The Power - 2002, No Entry - 2005, Bewafa - 2005, Wanted - 2009 and Tevar - 2015, etc.
What Sridevi believes about her “daughters”?
She is very clear about her kids getting married at an early age and also thinks that her children wouldn’t want to enter the path that she and her husband chose as it’s a tough life there. She rather wants to see her kids settling for a normal and happy life.

Though Jhanvi, Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s eldest daughter, is all set to give other Bollywood actresses a run for their money and reportedly, she’ll also be seen together with Ishaan Khatter in the Hindi recreation of Sairat. She usually continues to woo her fans with her perfect poses, thumkas and fashion choices. All thanks to her Instagram account that keeps her in the limelight.
Sridevi and Arjun Kapoor
Sridevi and Boney have been experiencing a marital bliss for over two decades, but it has never been that simple for this father-son duo. When Boney fell head over heels with Sridevi, Mona Shourie Kapoor (Boney's then wife) and Boney got separated, and the old family got left behind (Mona, Arjun and Anshula Kapoor).

In a TV interview, Arjun Kapoor (Boney Kapoor's son with ex-wife Mona) admitted to not having any relationship with either Sridevi or her daughters Jhanvi & Khushi. He once quoted "My relationship with Sridevi would never be normal. She is just my father's wife and nothing beyond that." He has no bond with his half-sisters either. Arjun firmly says that his mother had taught him not to disrespect anyone and therefore he holds no grudges at either his father or his other family.
In the end, even after controversial marital circumstances, rumors of Sridevi with Mithun Chakravarty, Boney’s issues with his then-wife and their struggling marriage, everything made it somewhat impossible for the two to get together. But Boney’s constant support and Sridevi’s realization of having found the perfect man made it possible for their marriage to happen. And now, the two are inseparable!
