Arjun Kapoor has always been close to his father Boney Kapoor, but he has hardly ever addressed his stepmother Sridevi. Recently, during an interview with Galatta India, the actor made his rare mention about the late actor Sridevi.
While talking about Satish Kaushik’s 1993 dud, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, which was backed by Boney and starred Arjun’s uncle Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. “My entire life with my father was being on Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja set. Even by today’s standards, it is one of the biggest films we ever made. The film cost Rs. 10 crore in 1992. It has Anil Kapoor, Sridevi ma’am and Jaggu dada, Jackie Shroff. Anupam Kher was the villain. And there was this pigeon with Anil chachu in the film, whose name was Django, and it was my favorite character at the time,” stated Arjun.
Interestingly, Sridevi was already dating Boney, while the latter was married to Mona, Arjun’s mother. The filmmaker divorced her in 1996 and married the actress in the same year. Arjun was 10- year- old at that time, while his younger sister, Anshula Kapoor was 5. Boney and Sridevi went on to have two daughters – Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
