One of Bollywood’s most iconic leading ladies, Sridevi is also a loving wife. On Boney Kapoor’s 62nd birthday, the legendary actress flew to Chennai two days earlier, to decorate their residence in the city that served as a party venue and arranged for the producer’s favourite flowers, colours and dishes. Managing all the aspects of the celebration, the gorgeous actress showcased art she gathered from all over the world and had it set up for Boney.
Informs Boney, “It was a special day thanks to my wife. We brought in the birthday with family on the night of November 10, followed by a lunch in the afternoon. In the evening, a group of around 30 close friends from Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai joined us and we partied till past 3 am.”
Connoisseurs and aficionados of the film, entertainment and music industry were on the guest list, that included Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, Gauri Shinde and R Balki, Kamal Haasan, Priyadarshan, AR Rahman with wife Saira, designer Manish Malhotra, Zee Entertainment honcho Punit Goenka, businessman Sanjay Reddy with wife Pinky Reddy, politician Amar Singh and Ravi Udyawar.
The highlight of the party was a musical gathering that followed the celebration. Old songs were sung by seasoned writer and lyricist, Javed Akhtar and politician, Amar Singh.
Adds the doting father, “My daughter Khushi’s birthday was on November 5 but unfortunately she was away on a school trip then. So we celebrated both birthdays and doubled our happiness.”
