Boney Kapoor, the renowned Bollywood producer and actor, recently shared a candid moment about his late wife, legendary actress Sridevi, during an event in Mumbai. Known for his significant contributions to the industry, Boney's personal journey, especially regarding his appearance, has also been a subject of public interest. From having a full head of hair in his early career to going bald, and eventually undergoing a hair transplant, Boney's transformation has sparked curiosity. In an intimate conversation, he revealed how his late wife Sridevi had a unique perspective on his changing looks.
When asked whether Sridevi ever encouraged him to grow his hair back, Boney Kapoor shared, "Sridevi never let me get a hair transplant. I guess it was from possessiveness and insecurity. She had seen me from the early '80s when I made Mr. India and had witnessed the entire transformation—from having thick hair to losing it all. She had accepted me the way I was, and her primary concern was not my hair but for me to lose some weight." Boney’s honest admission highlights the deep connection he shared with Sridevi, who accepted him completely, regardless of his physical appearance.
Turning the conversation to his children, Boney Kapoor shared a heartwarming glimpse into their reactions to his new look. He spoke fondly of his daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, saying, “My daughters are happy. Whenever I post something on social media, they often compliment me." He also mentioned his son Arjun, noting that while he is not as demonstrative in his responses as his daughters, he too is supportive of his father's transformation. This insight into his family dynamics shows the warmth and positive reinforcement Boney receives from his children, especially as they navigate life after Sridevi’s untimely passing.
In a lighter moment, Boney Kapoor humorously mentioned the unexpected side effect of his hair transplant: a rise in his clothing expenses. "Ever since I have grown my hair back, I think my expenditure on clothes has increased. Everyone wants to look good," he joked, adding a touch of levity to the conversation. Boney Kapoor, whose career continues to thrive with successful projects like Valimai, Mili, and Maidaan, is not only redefining his professional life but also embracing his personal evolution—proving that, just like his films, his life too is full of reinvention and transformation.
