sixtieth birthday anniversary celebration for Sridevi: Boney Kapoor shares a cherished moment from his wife's 27th birthday in Chennai
On August 13, 2025, Boney Kapoor, the filmmaker and late husband of legendary cinema icon Sridevi, shared a heartfelt tribute on what would have been Sridevi's 62nd birthday.
In a touching Instagram post, Boney shared a throwback photo of Sridevi from her 27th birthday party in Chennai in 1990. Alongside the image, he shared a heartwarming anecdote that highlighted their affectionate and playful relationship. Boney recalled that during the celebration, he wished Sridevi a "happy 26th birthday" instead of her actual 27th to make her feel younger. Sridevi initially thought he was teasing her, but the gesture showed the deep love and admiration Boney held for the late actress.
The post resonated emotionally with fans, reaffirming Boney Kapoor's enduring love for Sridevi. Sridevi, often called Indian cinema's first female superstar, passed away in 2018 due to accidental drowning at the age of 54 in Dubai, where she was attending a family wedding.
Sridevi's death occurred a few months before her daughter Janhvi's debut movie Dhadak hit the screens. Janhvi, who followed in her mother's footsteps and entered the world of acting, re-shared Boney's first birthday post on her Instagram Story.
Throughout her illustrious career, Sridevi delivered stellar performances in numerous films such as Moondram Pirai, Sadma, Lamhe, Pathinaru Vayathinile, Mr. India, Chaalbaaz, Khuda Gawah, Judaai, Laadla, English Vinglish, Mom, and many others.
Boney Kapoor has revealed that Sridevi used to starve to look good and experienced blackouts due to her dieting habits. He also stated that he will not allow a biopic to be made about Sridevi's life.
Sridevi's last film was Mom, released in 2017. The actress will always be remembered for her remarkable talent and enduring contributions to Indian cinema.
