Spare a thought for Sridevi…..Shobhaa De blogs
Shobha De in her recent blog talks about sparing a thought for Sridevi in the present situation. For people unaware, Boney Kapoor married Sridevi without going through a divorce. The blog follows. I didn't know Mona Kapoor. Even though, as a young girl, she lived in the same South Mumbai complex as I do,and in which her mother, the formidable Sattee Shourie owned a flat. I was away in Muscat when Mona died, and got to hear of it through mutual friends who had attended her funeral. Later, I scanned media coverage of the multiple functions that followed Mona's passing away, and found one person missing from the images. Sridevi.The other mourners in impeccable designer whites may or may not have been Mona's close friends. Nearly every celeb covered by the media was present for someone else, not for Mona. They were there as acquaintances of the Kapoor clan. Some were Anil Kapoor's old associates, others , part of Boney's ( Mona's husband) or Sanjay's circle. Then there was the younger lot, cousins and buddies of Mona and Boney's two children. There were no pictures of Jahnavi and Khushi, Sridevi and Boney's daughters. And my heart went out to Sridevi. What a position to be in, after spending so many years of her life living with Boney ( since June '96), and giving birth to two daughters.Yet, when tragedy struck, there was no place or position for 'the other woman' in that very public space in which Boney was featured as a grieving widower.

I THINK THIS IS WHAT HEMA MALINI DID SORT OF..ITS ALWAYS THE MAN WHO WE SHOULD BLAME FIRST. IF MY HUSBAND IS CHEATING ON ME ITS MY HUSBAND'S FAULT FIRST. BUT NEVER THE LESS ITS SRI'S FAULT TOO...
I believe with most of u here...Not on anyone's side but one has to be very careful with the kind of choices one makes coz at the end of the day they r the ones who r responsible for the consequences. No close friend or member of family can protect u from suffering. So Think twice
Once hema malini said that she would never want her daughters to have a life she had in terms of husband.
Also Sridevi should ask qs to herself does she wants her daughters to follow her footsteps? If yes then i think she's characterless and if no then welcome back to SOCIETY where we have CULTURE & MORALS.
well written...plz people stop being so insensitive and negative towards Sridevi. The truth is there are always two sides to everything...people commenting here seem to be very narrow minded...and see it as an oppurtunity to attack Sridevi for other stupid reasons....Come its been 16 years...All 3 of them had moved...only some haters seem to not have moved on...get a life!! chill
so true shobne de first tym she wrote some sense i lost all respect for sri devi coz shes no devi in real life
wait are sridevi and boney kapoor married or not??????
Why don't Shoba De mind her own damn business?
Well these people are rich, of course they are going to wear designer clothes. Unless you know the brand, you wouldn't even have a clue whats designer and whats not...what a crazy thing to comment on. And about Sridevi, really some sensitivity? Why did she decide to be this "other woman" anyway. Evey action has a reaction and she should deal with it.
Come on pretentious snob .. people know all this high society drama.Before writing such stupid drama sympathy articles writer should turn around and look at their personal lives and personal lives of close ones.There will be lot of dirt to dish on few of them ...right. I am sure Mona Kapoor was happy with her life before her illness read her interview. Personal lives are personal to people who live it. How and why they live it its their choice.
Attention seeking by making up stories by guessing their personal lives is just pure evil with hint of drama queen.

Sometimes we have to pay a very heavy price for taking wrong decisions in life...Sridevi is doing just that.....we are not living in a jungle...we live in a society where we have to follow certain basic rules....if we don't follow them then generations will be punished for no fault of theirs...
----------------
HOW the ---- is she paying the pricee????????? oh by having all she ever wanted?
If not Sridevi then someone else. Once there's nothing in a relationship then its better to leave and move on.
This article is in bad taste, why the sympathy towards the 'other woman' that too when the first wife just passed away? i cant believe mona is no more. btw i dont think boney and mona were divorced legally. They were not divorced till atleast 3-4 years back. Those who have sympathy for Sridevi, can u explain why she was involved with Mithun? he too was married and at that time her parents were alive. Sridevi's honeymoon days are over now. For 16 years she basked in the sympathy as a poor soul who had noone to turn to except boney. But i dont think she will get the same respect now. The turn out at Mona's funeral proves that she was a much loved person.
I have absolutely no sympathy or pity for Sridevi for anything. Mona suffered more than Sridevi ever will.
Since Sridevi wasn't married to Boney Kapoor, she isn't technically a second wife. They were just living together...no moral judgement on that, except that he was married with kids of his own. Neither of them thought about the wife and kids then, but SD is asking us to think about Sridevi's kids now? How would Sridevi feel if her daughter's husband decided to leave her, without a divorce, for another woman. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor are living on borrowed happiness, and they deserve neither respect nor sympathy for that. She should have respected herself enough to demand that he divorce Mona before creating a family with her, and if he loved her and respected her enough, he should have been man enough to it. People grow apart and divorce happens...that's fine. Having a wife and keeping a mistress is not fine!
This article is not about poor Mona, she is just an after-thought for Shobha. Why should we think about Sri, she made her choice, poor Mona had no choice, she had to pick up the pieces of a broken life.
When families break up, there are always some who suffer and some who move forward happily. That is not the worst aspect of the Boney, Sri-Devi and Mona triangle. The worst part is the tacky and low way it was done - a pregnancy to bring about the end of a marriage with young, very young children!
Crappy article! Spare a thought to this woman who got pregnant with a married man's child? Yeh right! There is nothing wrong when two people fall out of love and divorce and start afresh. But, screwing around while married to someone (EVEN if it was an arranged marriage as some idiots here mention) is just plain wrong. And same goes to the woman that married man is screwing! :|
AND ALL THESE CANNOT STOP SRIDEVI FROM SHINING ONCE AGAIN
GO GIRL YOUR HATERS ARE MAKING YOU MORE POPULAR
I KNOW U CAN PROVE THEM WRONG, THEY ARE JUST INSECURE!
boney's parents and sibblings all accept sridevi in their family so what s your problem haters? Or did sridevi force boney to marry her? and for those of you saying sridevi was pregnant before marriage should get their facts right by simple calculation if they care to know the truth. Minus the date their first child was born from the wedding date and you would agree that she was not pregnant before unless if the pregnancy was for 12 months
GO TO HELL!
I agree 100% with - Daughters should be taught to not fall for married older men, no matter how rich they might be.

What about all this time when Sri went out in public always holding Boney's hands?? Mona had to suffer thru that humiliation for years. This is the only one time that Sri can't come out in public so please don't ask to spare thoughts for someone like that.
If Sri was soo diginified, she wouldn't have done what she did. The reason she came come out is coz she is finally ashamed of what she has done!
"What was going through her (Sridevi's) mind and heart as she and her young daughters,,,,"
Something similar that went through Mona's mind when her husband cheated on her and then walked out on the family!

Moral of this true story is Sadidevi = Boney's Rakhail (keep)...end of story.period.
Well written...first time Shobaa De makes sense
shobhaa de is purposely going out of her way to create friction and drama just because she was away and missed all the 'action'...i hate her...why is she humiliating them by talking like this on a newspaper column, its a long long time since this emerged and i am sure they would have had their own way of functioning, in older india a man often had two wives and it was no big deal, they all lived happily but here in mordern india there can be only one legal wife, there is more intolerance...sridevi has never been isolated by the family she is always involved in all family functions and attends all awards etc and poor mona kapoor, she was abandoned by her husband just because she had cancer or maybe she got it due to all the stress, i thought it was till death do us apart, i really wish she had someone to hold hands with in her last few years....everything is not black or white in life it can be shades of grey and why cant this b*tch allow them to mourn in dignified silence... why cant she atleast give them that much space ...i thinks she resents mona kapoor because she dint reach out to her 'the social butterfly shobaa de' even though she lived in the same building...good thing too, what a disgusting piece s*it she is...she is trying to create agony in the heart of the son by adding fuel to the fire and saying his mother dint get to see his first film, how is he supposed to feel reading her f..ing column. i am sure innocent sridevi unlike other shrewd people , is polite enough to humor this b*tch just because she begs to hang out with famous and rich people and yap about how she knows them personally. One piece of advice ....sridevi , sonam and the rest of the kapoors stay the hell away from this shameless w**** . like sonam said if she is 'close' (meaning that they are kind or stupid enough to acknowledge her as a normal person) to someone she will talk crap about others.....I HATE SHOBHAA DE.
well maybe monas son didnt want sri to come at thier place
Although I agree with Shobaa De (and I am a second wife with step children so I can relate to Sridevi in many ways), I also feel whatever she has written is merely based on speculation. Further, knew Monaji, she was a wonderful, giving woman and I still can't believe she is no more. However, nobody knows what really happened. We can also speculate: perhaps Sridevi called Monaji's family to offer condolences. Perhaps she went a few days later to condole, when the cameras had left. The thing is, we don't know. Why speculate and indigniy someone's death and the second wife's marriage? RIP Monaji.
Only guilty person here is Boney Kapoor
Oh Shobha De, you may be a prolific writer but you're not the epitome of TRUTH. I cannot confirm if Sri devi is legally married to Boney Kapoor or not but seriously, a little sympathy towards her. Okay, let's assume that she is NOT LEGALLY married to Boney. So what?! She lived the life of a married woman, whereas, Mona being a married woman could not do so for too long. What Sri did to Boney and Mona's marriage is beyodn appaling. Yes, Boney too was a part of it and equally responsible, but since Mona allowed Sri (prior to their affair) to stay at the Kapoor house (as a friendly gesture) and help her out as a newcomer, this is HOW Sri returns the favours done to her?
Shobha De, I would seriously like to ask you if your husband did that to you, how would you feel about the other woman? Would you ask us to show sympathy towards her after your demise? She's a home-wrecker. Yeah, that's the word used for such women.
Peace!
PV, please post this.
Road for home breaker is not easy. They have to bear a consequences of their deed. So is so.
Shobha De is looking to sell her article, trying to be controversial. I live in the UK where funeral jokes are common but thery wouldnt be insesitive talking about another person when someone is dead. How crass.
