In the meanwhile preparations for Sridevi’s last rites have been shifted from Monday to Tuesday afternoon. “A massive prayer meeting will follow. That too is being planned by the family. However Boney has his own plans to carry forward the Sridevi legacy. Right now he’s too distraught to give these plans clarity of vision. But he has told close friends that he won’t allow her to die in the public mind, come what may,” says a close family friend.

Boney Kapoor recently told me, “You keep saying I am lucky to be married to the Goddess. But isn’t she lucky to be married to me? We look out for one another at the best and worst of times. I make sure she is comfortable in whatever she is doing.”

“It was the best birthday of my life. My wife looked into every small detail to ensure everything went smoothly,” said Boney happily. How was he to know this would be his last birthday with his wife?
