Sridevi died in her hotel room in Dubai due to accidental drowning, on February 24, 2018

Producer Boney Kapoor has finally opened up about his wife, superstar Sridevi's tragic demise. Sridevi died in her hotel room in Dubai due to accidental drowning, on February 24, 2018. She was 54. Now, in an interview with The New Indian Express, Boney Kapoor mentioned that Sridevi used to follow a strict diet. The producer also spoke about the interrogation and the lie-detector test he had to go through after Sridevi's death. Boney Kapoor said, “It was not a natural death, it was an accidental death. I thought I would never speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24-48 hours together, when I was being investigated, and interrogated and that is how I got a clean chit from the Dubai police. In Fact, the officer said that we had to do this, we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from the Indian media. They discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the interrogation, including the lie detector. The report which came clearly stated that it was an accidental death by drowning.”

Boney Kapoor also mentioned how Sridevi used to experience blackouts due to her no-salt diet. Even though the doctor had advised Sridevi to avoid a severe low-salt diet due to her low blood pressure, the actress, at the time of her death, was swearing by one of the same routines.

Boney Kapoor said, “Our family physician always used to tell Sri (Sridevi) whenever you diet, because whenever she used to start a new film, she used to want to look good because the fact is what you are in real life, on–screen especially for cinemascope you will look broader. She wanted to make sure that she is chiselled, in good shape so that on screen she also looks like it.”
