Bollywood gossip Boney-Sridevi Bollywood

The Boney Kapoor–Sridevi saga is back in Bollywood gossip’s glare. Interviews keep glorifying their romance, presenting it as a landmark love story even as fans debate the family fallout [1].

Public memory and glamour Public memory leans into glamour: interviews with Boney Kapoor and Sridevi’s family frame the relationship as enduring, and hosts keep asking about their romance [1].

Family trauma and kids’ voices Anshula Kapoor says that at age 6 she took the blame for her parents’ separation, and Janhvi Kapoor was born in 1997. Boney wed publicly in January 1997 while Sridevi was pregnant [1].

Rings, letters, and choosing between family and love From the other thread: Mona Kapoor bought the wedding rings; a young Arjun Kapoor wrote a letter asking why he wasn’t visiting them, and he said it was hard to choose between Sridevi and his kids [2].

Framing the gossip today The discussion shows a polarized take: some condemn the chaos and call it a home-wrecker narrative, while others defend the romance as a messy, human story of loyalty and memory [1].

Closing thought: Bollywood gossip isn’t just about celebrity romance—it’s a lens on memory, family, and who gets remembered.
