Sridevi Being Called ‘Homewrecker’ For Getting Married To Boney Kapoor, Reveals Janhvi Kapoor As She Misses Her

Actor Janhvi Kapoor recently opened up about the intense scrutiny her mother, Sridevi, endured during her lifetime. She recalled how the late superstar was often labelled a “homewrecker”—a tag that deeply affected her emotionally.

Janhvi shared these reflections during her appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, where she spoke candidly about the profound loss of her mother.

Speaking about her passing, Janhvi said she often tries to escape her inner turmoil and unresolved emotions. She described losing her mother as the greatest trauma of her life, especially as it unfolded in the public eye. She expressed that the pain remains irreplaceable, adding that she misses not just her mother’s presence, but also the way she shaped their family. Janhvi poignantly noted that she didn’t just lose a parent that day—she also lost a version of her father that existed when Sridevi was alive.

During the conversation, Janhvi also reflected on watching an old interview of Sridevi and the challenges she faced following her marriage to Boney Kapoor.

She recalled how people were often unkind to Sridevi, subjecting her to harsh labels and criticism, which took an emotional toll on her. Janhvi admitted that with time, she has come to better understand her mother’s perspective and regrets not fully grasping it earlier. She acknowledged that Sridevi was navigating complex personal, professional, and financial realities that she, as a child, couldn’t fully comprehend.

Boney Kapoor was previously married to Mona Shourie Kapoor, with whom he had two children—Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. Their marriage ended after he fell in love with Sridevi, whom he married in 1996. The couple had two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. Their relationship attracted significant media attention at the time due to its circumstances, but they remained together until Sridevi’s passing in 2018.
