When Boney said 'Sridevi fell in the bathroom'

Legendary actress Sridevi is still remembered as the ‘First Female Superstar’ of Indian cinema. Her sudden death on February 24, 2018 in Dubai shocked the entire nation. Boney Kapoor had once opened up about the days leading to her tragic passing, revealing how her strict dieting habits and

low blood pressure

may have contributed to her fragile health.
She was always worried about looking good on screen
In an interview with The New Indian, Boney shared that the 'Mr. India' actress was extremely conscious about her appearance. She worked hard to maintain a certain image on screen, and often pushed herself too far to look perfect. “She wanted to make sure she’s in good shape so that on-screen, she looks good,” Boney said.
He added that she often followed crash diets to stay slim and camera-ready, sometimes starving herself completely. “She often used to starve; she wanted to look good,” he explained.

Crash dieting and constant blackouts
Sridevi’s dedication to her appearance led her to take on extreme diets—something that had a serious impact on her health. According to Boney, she suffered from low blood pressure, which only got worse due to her eating habits. But despite the warnings, Sridevi continued with her

strict diet

routines.

after Sridevi’s death. The incident happened during the shooting of one of her films when she was once again on a crash diet. “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,” Boney revealed.
