New Delhi:
Cinephiles, rejoice as Boney Kapoor presents a delightful blast from the past! The celebrated producer recently shared an old photo in which a young Boney is seen standing with none other than the iconic Waheeda Rehman. The photograph also includes actors Kumar Gaurav and Dilip Dhawan. All gentlemen are clad in sophisticated suits, while Waheeda Rehman looks ever-graceful in traditional Indian attire. Boney Kapoor affectionately captioned the memory, “Queen with 3 Musketeers. Kumar Gaurav, Dilip Dhawan and yours truly with elegant Queen Waheeda ji.” Fans have expressed their adoration by showering the comments with love in the form of heart emojis.
The throwback image holds historical significance as it was captured at Ritu Kapoor’s (Nanda) marriage reception at RK studios in 1969. At that moment, the young stars had the chance to snap this photo with Waheeda Rehman Ji, who is always remembered for her poise and talents. Alongside Boney Kapoor in a black suit, his contemporaries Dilip Dhawan and Kumar Gaurav also joined the shot.
Boney Kapoor is the progeny of film producer Surinder Kapoor and the sibling of actor Anil Kapoor. Boney’s first marriage was to film producer Mona Shourie, with whom he welcomed two children, Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor. Mona Shourie’s life came to a tragic end in 2012. After divorcing Mona in 1996, Boney married the legendary actress Sridevi. He and Sridevi were blessed with two daughters, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Sadly, Sridevi passed away while in Dubai in 2018.
Addressing some controversies in an interview with The New Indian, Boney clarified that Janhvi Kapoor was not born out of wedlock. He conveyed that his official marriage to Sridevi took place, and the pregnancy became public in January, due to which there was speculation about the timeline of events.
Professionally, Boney Kapoor took a new turn as he made his acting debut with Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar the previous year.
