The connection between Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s love story and the 1993 Mumbai blasts lies in a moment of crisis that brought them closer together. When Boney first confessed his love to Sridevi, she was hurt by the revelation, as he was still married at the time. Deeply upset, she cut off contact with him for nearly eight months, creating a distance that seemed difficult to bridge.
In March 1993, Mumbai was shaken by a series of devastating bomb blasts that claimed hundreds of lives and injured many more. One of the targeted locations was Hotel Sea Rock, where Sridevi happened to be staying. Upon hearing the news, Boney Kapoor’s immediate concern was for her safety. He contacted Sridevi’s mother and insisted that she leave the hotel at once. Boney then arranged for his staff to bring her to his home, ensuring she was safe from any further danger.
This protective gesture marked a turning point in their relationship. Sridevi stayed with Boney until May 1993, a period that coincided with the release of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. The incident not only showed her the depth of his care but also helped rebuild the trust and connection that had been lost. In many ways, the tragedy of the blasts became the unexpected catalyst that softened the walls between them and set their relationship back on track, eventually leading to their marriage in 1996.
