Proud husband mediates Sridevi and sister’s dispute

The legal and property disputes between Sridevi and her sister Srilatha are a thing of the past, thanks to Boney Kapoor’s mediation. Srilatha and her husband threw a grand party in Chennai to celebrate Sridevi’s Padma Shri honour.

The night before, the actress and husband Kapoor were in Hyderabad to attend a party in Sridevi’s honour hosted by her cousin Maheshwari.

“Why should I not be proud of my wife? You name me one other actress who has had a 40-year innings as an actress and who made a comeback like she did. Do you know English Vinglish has earned $5 million worldwide. It was released in Hong Kong in March where it has become the second-most successful Hindi film after 3 Idiots. For a heroine-centric film that’s quite an achievement. Do you know Sri is the only actress to have played the lead with two generation of actors in the South and North. In Telugu cinema, she has starred opposite both N.T. Rama Rao and his son. In Bollywood, she has worked opposite Dharmendra and Sunny Deol. I feel she should have got the Padma Shri long back. But never mind. We’re celebrating her success belatedly,” Kapoor said.

The producer of films such as Wanted and No Entry has a double reason to feel proud.

“On the one hand, Sri is doing so well for herself. On the other hand, my son Arjun Kapoor’s second film Aurangzeb is ready for release and it’s getting the kind of attention that very few films have done lately. Next to Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, it’s my son Arjun in Aurangzeb who has received the maximum hits on the internet.”
