“I Can’t Say Theek Hai Hota Hai”; Arjun Kapoor On Dad Boney Kapoor Leaving His Mom For Sridevi

We all know the legendary love story of Boney Kapoor and late actress Sridevi but there were two other lives that changed once the pair fell in love.

Recently, Arjun Kapoor (Boney Kapoor’s son from first wife Mona Shourie) opened up on the same.

Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi got married in 1996 and have two children together – Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Arjun Kapoor speaks on his parents’ separation and his father falling in love again saying ‘love is complex’.

Sridevi’s untimely death in 2018 evoked a lot of sadness in the industry and many fans around the world. During that time, Arjun had stayed by his father and half-sisters’ sides and constantly supported them. Sourced from a report, Arjun had said, My mother’s upbringing came in my head. She would’ve told me to be by my father’s side regardless of what obstacles we face, because of a choice he made where he fell in love. And I respect my father for falling in love again. Because love is complex. And we would be silly and churlish sitting here in 2021 saying that you only fall in love once. It’s very Bollywood-ised. Love is complex, love is complicated, love isn’t always about being in love.

He also said, “It’s about compatibility, there is friendship, there is saturation. There is unfortunate frustration, people go through different phases in life. You could have been in love with somebody, and you can fall in love with somebody after that, and that has to be understood. I don’t agree… I can’t say I’m okay with what my father did, because as a child I felt the repercussions, but I understand it. I can’t say ‘theek hai, hota hai (It’s fine, these things happen)’, because I will always wonder. But when I rationalise it as an older person who’s dealing with his own relationship highs and lows, you understand.
