Boney Kapoor married Sridevi in June 1996. However, the latter passed away in February 2018. Their two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, are also a part of the showbiz world now. While Janhvi made her acting debut with Dhadak in 2018, Khushi stepped into Bollywood with The Archies in 2023.
In December 2024, Boney Kapoor remembered Sridevi while speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha. The filmmaker was talking about his physical transformation journey when he recalled how Sridevi always wanted him to lose some weight. 'The seeds were sown by my wife. She was always after me to lose weight. She was a health-conscious person herself. I used to go for a walk with her. I used to go to the gym with her," he told us.
'She (Sridevi) was very clear on when she wants to eat, what she wants to eat. I tried my best to do that but I couldn't. For the past two years, post TJMM, when I saw myself, I felt I should…and my kids also wanted me to look sharper, leaner, and better. Of course, health-wise also I needed to. I'm 69 today so I'm not getting any younger," he added.
'I feel Sri is still around me, my wife is still around me and motivating me to lose weight. 'Lose weight', she said. Doctor also said the same thing – You should lose weight before you think of doing a transplant. Here I am, I've lost some weight and I've got some hair back for some," the film producer concluded.

Following a successful run at the Indian box office, Ashwin Kumar's Mahavatar Narsimha is now gearing up for its international release. The mythological animated film, which has struck a chord with audiences at home, is scheduled to hit theatres across Australia on July 31.

Their message read, 'We truly appreciate your immense love and unparalleled excitement for #MahavatarNarsimha. We kindly request all fans to refrain from sharing video clips from the film online. Let's preserve the divine experience for everyone to witness the magic on the big screen." Mahavatar Narsimha is the first film in an ambitious animated franchise centred on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu.

Despite being granted near-immortality by Lord Brahma, the king's attempts to harm his devout son fail, eventually prompting Lord Vishnu to intervene in the form of his fierce fourth avatar, Narsimha. Presented in five Indian languages, Mahavatar Narsimha has been edited by Kleem Productions and produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai. The screenplay, written by Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh, has been particularly appreciated. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sanjay Dutt Reveals What He Did With Rs 72 Crore Property That Fan Left Him Before Dying
Last Updated: Sanjay Dutt returned a Rs 72 crore inheritance from fan Nisha Patil to her family. It's not every day that someone leaves you property worth Rs 72 crore. However, that's exactly what happened to Sanjay Dutt. The actor recently opened up about this unbelievable moment in his life and revealed that he chose to return the entire inheritance to the fan's family. In a conversation with Curly Tales, Dutt was asked whether it was true that a female fan had bequeathed him the property before passing away in 2018. Confirming the story, he said simply, 'I gave it back to her family." Back in 2018, a devoted fan of Sanjay Dutt, Nisha Patil, made headlines after she left her entire property, worth a massive Rs 72 crore, to the actor. The unexpected gesture left Dutt stunned. Nisha, a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai, was reportedly suffering from a terminal illness and had informed her bank to hand over all her assets to Dutt after her death. The actor, who made his debut in 1981 with Rocky, has enjoyed a successful, albeit controversial, career in Hindi cinema. Over the decades, Dutt starred in a range of popular films including Vidhaata, Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak and Vaastav, cementing his place as one of Bollywood's most charismatic actors. However, his journey was interrupted by legal troubles. He was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for possessing illegal weapons linked to the 1993 Bombay blasts. Though eventually acquitted under TADA, he was convicted under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison. He completed his sentence in 2016 after several paroles and furloughs. Dutt made a major comeback with the 2003 blockbuster Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., a film that became a cultural phenomenon. His life story was later adapted into the 2018 film Sanju, directed by longtime collaborator Rajkumar Hirani, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying the actor. Sanju went on to become one of Indian cinema's biggest hits. Currently, Dutt is busy with multiple projects. In 2025 alone, he has five films lined up. The Bhootnii and Housefull 5 have already hit theatres, while Akhanda 2, Dhurandhar, and The RajaSaab are set to release later this year. He is also part of the Kannada film KD – The Devil, which is slated for release in 2026. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
