Boney (Kapoor) saab was inconsolable: Adnan Siddiqui

Sridevi's "MOM" co-star Adnan Siddiqui who met Boney Kapoor just after the untimely demise of the actress says that he saw Boney Kapoor crying like a baby.


The sudden and untimely demise of superstar actress Sridevi has shocked the entire nation but, with her death mystery doing the rounds since yesterday, the actress' death life has taken a 360-degree change in just 48 hours and it continues to get worse after each hour with different developments in the story.

However, her family has been waiting since February 24 night to see her for the last time. Well, it seems terribly bad to each one that her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi has still not been able to see their mother and Boney Kapoor has been struggling and in stress to get the actress back to India from Dubai to her respective family members.

However, the speculations around the superstar have been constant but, in an interview with a leading daily, actor Adnan Siddiqui who had worked with Sridevi in MOM (2017) was present during the investigation of the actress in the Dubai Hotel. He was one of the first few people to reach the Jumeirah Emirates Tower after learning about her death on Saturday night.

Recounting the ill-fated night, Siddiqui told mid-day, "I got a call from a journalist at around 11 pm asking if the news about Sridevi's death was true. I immediately called up Boney [Kapoor] Saab and rushed to him." The actor says he reached the hotel to find the investigation going on and the room cordoned off. "I got to the Jumeirah Emirates at around midnight. Initially, I was not allowed to go upstairs. At the time of the investigation, only Boney Saab and Dubai officials were present. So, I waited in the lobby for about an hour."

It was only after the first few investigation rounds that the actor was allowed to meet Boney upstairs. "When everything was settled, Boney Saab called me upstairs. He was there along with a family friend, his wife and a daughter. Boney Saab was crying like a baby; he was inconsolable. I was with him until 5 am. He was under a lot of stress, so I advised him to rest, and then left."

The Pakistani actor had developed a warm bond with Sridevi and Kapoor while he was shooting with the former for "Mom". In a recent interview, Sridevi was seen disturbed and emotional that she could not meet him after the film's release, due to the ban on Pakistani artistes after Uri attacks.And so, the actress had invited him, especially for her nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding in Ras Al-Khaimah.

"When I landed in Dubai at 11 pm last week, I called up Boney Saab and asked him if it made sense for me to come at that hour considering the function may have been over. He said, 'Even if the function gets over, we will wait for you'. So I drove for two hours to Ras Al-Khaimah," recollected Siddiqui, adding that true to her word, Sridevi was waiting for him. "I can't believe that I met her four days ago and now, she is no more."
