Sridevi, the wife of producer Boney Kapoor, died late in the night reportedly due to cardiac arrest in Dubai, where she had gone along with her family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah’s wedding.
According to a report in Filmfare, currently, well-wishers are rushing to Sridevi’s house in Mumbai to be by her elder daughter Janhvi’s side who couldn’t be in Dubai due to her shooting schedule.
Sanjay Kapoor, her brother-in-law, told a leading entertainment portal, “Yes, it is true that Sridevi passed away. I just landed here, I was in Dubai and now I am flying back to Dubai. It happened roughly around 11.00-11.30. I don’t know more details yet.”
She had started her career as a child artiste, and grew up to be one of the biggest female stars India ever had. She was awarded her Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honor, in 2013. Sridevi was last seen in MOM.

Growing up in the 80’s meant #Sridevi was a part of life… dancing to her songs “mere hathon mein nau nau choodiyan hain”, “na jaane kahan se aayi hain” to “bijli girane mein hoon aayi” and so many more… her powerful performance in Sadma had an indelible impact on me…

Memorable: Beautiful #Sridevi broke down as she addressed her Pakistan co-stars of #Mom – Adnan and Sajal – who could not be there due to the ban on Pak artists. “I really miss you all, the way you all have worked in this film is beyond compare…' #RIPSridevi pic.twitter.com/2fLYtYyQVS

Boney Kapoor’s first wife, Mona Shourie Kapoor, had also died a month before her son Arjun Kapoor’s debut film “Ishaqzaade” released.
And now his second wife, Sridevi passes away months before her daughter Jhanvi’s first release.
She must have been so happy for her child.
