Speaking to The New Indian, filmmaker Boney Kapoor spoke about her accusations against him, "It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came, clearly stated it was accidental."

He further revealed that Sridevi's health was influenced by her crash diet. "She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she was in good shape, so that on-screen, she looked good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue," she shared.
He also added that Sridevi had come down to 46-47 kg in the past, citing her weight in films like English Vinglish. He also said that the veteran actress used to avoid salt.
Boney claimed that he learned about Sridevi's diet after their marriage. Sharing an incident when actor Nagarjuna told him of experiencing something similar with Sridevi. "It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away. Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that's how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth."
Sridevi is survived by husband Boney Kapoor and their two daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
