On what would have been the 62nd birthday of the legendary Sridevi, her husband and producer Boney Kapoor once again opened his heart to the world — this time through a nostalgic post that has struck a chord with fans across generations. More than just a birthday wish, it felt like a whisper from the past, wrapped in warmth, longing, and undying love.
Taking to Instagram, Boney Kapoor shared a radiant still of Sridevi from English Vinglish, a film that marked her powerful return to the silver screen and once again reaffirmed her status as one of the finest performers Indian cinema has ever known. But what truly captured hearts was his caption: “Yesssss You are not 62 today. You are 26. Happy birthday, we are still reliving all your happy birthdays.”
The post didn’t just celebrate a date — it celebrated a presence that continues to echo in his life.
Sridevi, often hailed as the first female superstar of Indian cinema, had a career spanning over five decades across multiple film industries — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Known for her iconic performances in films like Chandni, Mr. India, Sadma, Lamhe, and English Vinglish, she wasn’t just an actress — she was a phenomenon.
Her untimely passing in February 2018 left the nation in mourning. But for Boney Kapoor, it was more than a public loss — it was personal, life-altering, and deeply emotional. Yet, each year, without fail, he shares a piece of their love story with the world, often accompanied by anecdotes that peel back the curtain on their private moments.
In another post, Kapoor reminisced about a birthday party from 1990, when he cheekily told Sridevi she was turning 26 — even though she was actually 27 — just to make her smile. “She thought I was teasing her,” he wrote, “but I meant it as a compliment.”
The legacy of Sridevi continues through her daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. While Janhvi is all set to charm audiences in her upcoming film Param Sundari alongside Sidharth Malhotra on August 29, 2025, Khushi has been carving her own path, despite facing criticism for her recent outing Nadaaniyaan.
In a world where celebrity relationships often feel fleeting, Boney Kapoor’s unwavering devotion to Sridevi reminds us that some bonds truly defy mortality. Each tribute, each memory he shares, continues to reflect a love that refuses to fade with time.
And indeed, Sridevi may no longer walk among us, but in every frame she graced, every heart she touched, and every word her husband pens in her memory — she lives on.
