Boney Kapoor is making headlines for his striking physical transformation. Earlier this year, the producer surprised everyone by shedding extra kilos and doing a hair transplant, crediting his late wife
Sridevi for inspiring him to do so.
During a recent interview with Chandra Kochhar, Boney Kapoor talked about his 26 kg weight loss journey, his experience with hair transplants and how he quit smoking twice at Sridevi’s request.
Boney Kapoor Credits Sridevi For Bringing Positive Changes In His Life
Sharing his experience and his decision to go for a hair transplant, Boney Kapoor revealed it was his late wife Sridevi who motivated him to do so. Remembering a time when Sridevi took him to the hospital for donor hair, he shared, “I used to think at that time, ‘When I have Sri with me, why do I need to put on hair? I won’t get a more beautiful girl than her.”
He further revealed how he quit smoking twice in his life because of Sridevi. Boney shared that when they were not even married in 1995, he quit smoking because she told him once. “We were in New York. I had a very fancy gold lighter with a watch inside. I was smoking at a restaurant, and she said, ‘You said you love me and you’ll do anything for me. ‘Give up smoking.’ I threw the cigarette and lighter immediately. I had one and a half cartons of cigarettes in the room. I asked her to fill it with water,” Boney explained, revealing that he didn’t smoke for 12 years after that.
The producer then shared he went through a tough time and took the support of cigarettes, but he was able to quit again a year before Sridevi’s passing. He recalled resisting the bad habit even after Sridevi’s death. “When her body was right in front of me, I was in bad shape and itching to smoke. I went to the balcony, and people were smoking there. Then I told myself she’s just gone, and if I start smoking again now, it would mean I am shallow and empty. I didn’t smoke then, and I never will,” he stated.
Boney Kapoor Shares His Weight Loss Journey
Talking about his significant weight loss journey, Boney Kapoor shared, “I am a man of extreme willpower. I have committed myself to losing 3 kgs more. I am 88 now; I should be 85.” Boney Kapoor further revealed that he regulated his eating habits, which led her to go from 114 kg to 88 kg. Sharing his diet routine, the producer revealed that he drinks juices, eats two egg white omelettes and has plenty of fruits, including amla and kiwi. For lunch he eats jowar roti with dal and sabzi, and on some days he has soup. Talking about his dinner, Boney Kapoor shared that he likes to eat tandoori chicken with soup or only two glasses of soup. “If I feel hungry during the day at the office, then I eat chickpea flour cheela. But, there are at least 1-2 cheat days. We have such a social life that we can’t throw tantrums,” he added.
