DNA: Mona Kapoor Interview from 2007
Here is an interview of Mona Kapoor published in 2007 in DNA. A heartfelt interview from a very strong woman. May God bless her and her family ! 6th March 2007 Mona Kapoor Dreams bite dust I had an arranged marriage with Boney Kapoor. He was 10 years older to me. I was 19 when I married him. So I literally grew up with him. Ours was a 13-year-old marriage. So it came as a shock when I realised that my husband was in love with somebody else. A second relationship was something that one had only read or heard about. But when it happened to me, at that very point my marriage was over. Respect, for me, is foremost. Love follows that. As we evolve, sometimes needs change. Boney too needed somebody else; not me. There was nothing left in the relationship to give it a chance because Sridevi was already with a child. Their rishta was kayam. That itself was a big statement for me to opt out. Tiding torment It was also a tough time for my son Arjun and daughter Anshula, who were both in school. The world is a cruel place. When you are going through bad times, they speculate about you and discuss you in their living room. So, in school, my children had to face torment from their classmates. But they became strong and learnt to face facts. What held us together was the thread of pain. God spoke My family including my father, my mother and sister was the greatest support. They told me, 'Whether you cry, lick your wounds, turn into a recluse or go to the Himalayas, we are with you!' The humiliation was painful because I was pitted against a heroine. I was made to feel lesser. Industry wives gave me suggestions like, 'Why don't you lose weight?' or 'Why don't you join a spa?' All this made me realise that I had to get up, dust myself and start walking all over again. I told my parents that I wanted to make my own identity. Also the advice that my friend Meena Goculdas' mother gave me became the gospel truth for me. She said, 'If somebody has no place in your life, then you can have no place for them in yours.' This was my aakashwani. I understood that I had not failed – my relationship had! Future sisters I took to TV production with my sister. We produced shows including 'Yug', 'Vilayati Babu', 'Hera Pheri' and 'Kaise Kahoon'. The goodwill that we created was tremendous. Later, we took it as a challenge to make a movie set, which had upmarket amenities for artistes. Today our company Future Studios is spread over 12 sets on 12 floors in two buildings. Bitter? Never! My children live with me but are close to their father too. They travel with him, dine with him. I have no animosity or hatred for the man. It would be cruel if I kept the children away from him because I cannot substitute him. I don't know how to think like a man. I want him to be happy. After all, I gave up my place so that he could be happy. Love hamesha I don't miss a man in my life. I have had some very beautiful relationships. One even lasted for four years. But I'm not interested in marriage. Because one tends to carry along emotional baggage, which the man may not always understand. Life's been like one rollercoaster where you shriek, throw up and even laugh. Today, I've no pain. My jholi is full. As told to Farhana Farook ----------

Well said
I don't understand how ppl call her with good names and even respect her after knowing that she was a home breaker and had a relationship with Boney Kapoor b4 marriage........I hate her....What she did , her daughters will have to face that's y she has two daughters not a son..... As you sow, so shall you reap.
Been there! therefore I can relate to your pain. RIP
been there! therefore can relate to you. Rest in peace
very inspiring words from a wonderful woman who successfully overcame all the sufferings in her life and lived live fully.
Very sad.
Mona kapoor was a very strong,kind and sensitive lady.She faced life very bravely.I wish her children all the very best in their life,and though their Mother is not there with them physically she will always be there in spirit and watching over them.
Any person with ethics understands that Mona was wronged.So please do not write rubbish,by saying spare a thought for Sirdevi.
The years of torment and humiliation Mona must have gone through because of their doing.
One can see the pain in Monas beautiful eyes.
May her pure sole rest in external peace and as some one rightly mentioned her children look after the business and take it to great heights .
really mona ji ki soch bahut badi thi ,i salute tht lady....
YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID !!!
SHE IS NOW DEAD FOR GODSAKE !!! but u sri obsessed fans r so idiotic
R.I.P. and may god give her family and friends support :-(
If sri devi hadn't been pregnant no way would boney have married her.
@Anon below,
Dont you think I know that?!
lol....Polygamy is accepted in Islam for a lot of reasons, please do not say something when you do not have enough knowledge about it, it clearly says in Islam you HAVE TO take permission from the first wife to marry once again. There are also other factors...
Tht anon said "is he muslim? bcoz he married twice"...so does tht mean...men from other religions do not marry twice?! it means that men from other religions are REALLY loyal!?
Stupid.
@Anon below, this is what I mean lol, this is not my words, this is someone else's words... THIS IS WHY I wrote down "what exactly do you mean?" to the other anon...for saying such weird things about MUSLIMS particularly...
---
I think anon asked that because muslim men are allowed to have 4 wives at a time. And Mithun was already married when there were speculations that sri and him were married.
@ANON - who wrote this article???
ENOUGH OF THIS SRIDEVI BASHING WITHOUT KNOWING TE TRUTH. u have to hear ALAL versions before being a JUDGE.
did u ever heard BONEY TALK OF MONA role in their failed relationship??
i am not blaming MONA but a wife has an equal role in afiled relationship ..why always blame the OTEHR WOMAN
even if sridevi did'nt exists it might have been some xxxxx to whom boney would go for because he wsa not happy with mona.
mona herself reconciled and she said SHE HAS 4 OR 5 RELATIONSHIPS NAD DID'NT MISS A MAN.if monaji could reconcile with what happened then why u guys could'nt reconcile.
see THIS ARTICLE POSTED IN NET AFTER MONA DIED AND GET A LIFE INSTEAD OF SREE BASHING
am not writing this blogspot as a journalist but as a friend and well wisher of Mona Kapoor, mother of Arjun and Anshula Kapoor to me and first wife of film producer, Boney Kapoor, to the world. Mona passed away on March 25, 2012, after having fought a very brave and dignified battle with cancer.
Earlier in the day, Anshula and Arjun sent out messages asking for o+ blood for Mona's surgery next day. That was not to be. With her death, I lost a maternal figure in my life, a lady who in last one year had grown to be my confidante on matters of heart- where my family and life in general was concerned. I also lost a dear friend who always had a good thing to say about everyone- even her detractors.
We got introduced to each other last year through Twitter and quickly became a part of each other's lives through social media and later through the wonder called BBM. Day in day out, Mona would react to my status updates, enquire if I was doing well. If she felt I was low, she would send hugs and prayers. At times, if I didn't respond to her BBM having read it, she would promptly call and wouldn't rest till she knew all was ok with me. Her logic was very simple. I was someone's son and living alone in Mumbai. I was almost her son's age and so she had all the reasons to keep a tab about me and my safety.
I remember once I fell terribly sick and Mona didn't rest till she sent soup at my place. Later she called to say that she would start sending me home cooked food as well. I had to convince her with great effort that I will get fine. She said, 'Be careful about your health. Your Mom is alone back home. How would she feel if she came to know you are sick.'
The last I saw Mona was at her birthday party that Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar hosted. Her close friends had turned up in full force to wish her. Some of us sang and danced for her. As everyone clicked photographs with Mona, I felt she was going to be just fine after all, there was no much love around her. While leaving, as I said, till your next birthday Mona ji, she just looked up and said, 'Inshallah Beta ji'. On seeing her mother's wry smile, she just looked at her and smiled.
Three days before her birthday, Mona surprised me by sending a birthday cake at my residence. She later called and said, 'I wanted to come and surprise you but my health is such. My prayers and love is always with you'. No one had ever done anything like that for me on any of my previous birthdays. Mona knew how to make you feel special and nurtured.
We bonded often over our late night BBM conversations. < One such time, we got talking about our family lives and struggles. As she narrated the sequence of events that led to her and Boney's separation, I realised, she felt no bitterness either towards him or Boney's current wife, actress Sridevi. She rounded off the conversation saying, 'Sri loved him and Boney and I had fallen out.One must stay with the loved one only. Else it is all useless>
.' I am not sure if this is how she felt when, she said, she went down fighting. But the fact that she reconciled, moved on and found her own happiness with work ( She was the CEO of Future Studios) and later her kids, was one of the biggest successes of Mona's life.
Recently, when Amitabh Bachchan kept tweeting from the hospital, Mona messaged saying, that she felt he should not tweet so much, 'Nazar Lagti Hai'. Amitabh developed complications post his surgery and Mona while talking on something entirely different said, ' 'Beta ji, see Amit ji is not well now.We must pray for him na?'.
A few weeks back, when I last spoke with Mona, she casually said, 'I don't want to have a long life. I just want to see Anshula's graduation and see the release of Arjun's debut film, Ishaqzaade. That's all. After that, if God wants me back quickly, I'll run towards him.' Mona didn't live to see either in the physical world, but I am sure, she will be watching and ensuring that her kids find their share of happiness around.
When Mona got admitted in the hospital following complications, I texted her to check if I could come and see her. She stopped me saying,' I will be back soon beta and when I am back, you, Bharathi (senior journalist Bharathi Pradhan and Mona's close friend) and I will do lunch.' Mona, the lunch is still on you. Till we meet again
SREE BASHERS PLEASE READ THE BELOW PARAGRAPH 100 TIMES AND GET A LIFE

TEH ABOVE WORDS SHE SAID RECENTLY A YEAR BEFORE HER DEATH WHY U GUYS JUST CLING ON THE PAST INTERVIEWS SHE GAVE
@Anon below, this is what I mean lol, this is not my words, this is someone else's words... THIS IS WHY I wrote down "what exactly do you mean?" to the other anon...for saying such weird things about MUSLIMS particularly...
@Fiza Khan, what stupid statement to make. Some people should THINK before they type!
sridevi and mithun dont know if they got married ..i think it's a ploy by mithun to get sridevi back...mithun never showed copies of their marriage ..i think mithun tried to blackmail sridevi to stay with him even if mithun did'nt get divorced from his wife ..ala dharmendra hema set up ..but SRIDEVI REFUSED ..so he tried to blackmail by saying to press ..and sri did'nt care and CUT ALL TIES WITH HIM ..
ofcourse boney marriage to sri is not valid on books even though mona seperated from her husband in 1998 there is a term JUDICIAL SEPERATION mona had this ..but while u r under JUDICIAL SEPERATION hubby and wife wont stay together he might stay with some one and LEGALLY WIFE and HUSBAND FINANCES BECOME SEPERATE ..BUT MARRIAGE TO TAHT SOME ONE WITH WHOM HE IS STAYING IS NOT VALID ON BOOKS
I AM A LAWYER ..I KNOW HINDU MARRIAGE ACT ..
NOW MONA DIED SO THAT MARRIAGE WHICH HAPPENED IN 1997 IS AUTOMATICALLY VALID
there r wedding pics of sri and boney boney married sri .in 1997 january ..in chennai i know peopel who attended the wedding ...MONA GOT legally SEPERATEDD FROM BONEY IN 1998 does'nt matter legal divorce happened or not SEPERATED staus is almost equal to divorce
boney never married sri devi.............he never divorced mona.......sri was pregnant and he moved in with her...........der r no wedding pics of boney n sri.........dey both r shameless ppl
Mithun
Sridevi and Mithun had got married secretly
IS HE MUSLIM ????????
----------------------------
What EXACTLY do you mean?!
WHAT EVER U GUYS POST I KNOW MY SRI HEART IS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL LOVE SREEDEVI TILL I DIE
Did u peep into their bedroom to see how their mariage was doing? Sridevi was pregnant while he was married to Mona and this is a FACT. Mona confirmed it in her Savvy cover story interview and that she got to know about it from some spot boy or hairdresser. Its true that Mona had an arranaged marriage, but does this mean that loyalty shouldnt be expected in arranged marriages. After marriage Mona stayed a housewife becoz Boney wanted it that way. she wanted to work in her mom's office and study law, but wasnt allowed by Boney. All this was said by Mona herself in an interview. Please accept that Boney wronged his wife, and Sridevi was a major contributor.
FACT IS SRIDEVI never broke boney marriage boney mona marriage was as good as over by the time sridevi entered in to a relationship with boney ALL HATERS PLEASE READ THIS LINE 100 TIMES
BONEY WRONG WAS HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY SEPERATED FROM MONA BY THE TIME HE ENTERED IN TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH SRIDEVI ...
How can some people posting here seem to know nothing about the facts, they are all promoting false and negative things here!! This is really silly!!
Here are the FACTS:
1. Sridevi and Boney were married, AFTER he divorced Mona
2. Sridevi was NOT pregnant before marriage, use a calculator if you can't use your brain to find out.
3. A third person can never break a marriage, if the married couple are happy together. Boney and Mona had problems in their married life, as Boney said..he was in love with Sridevi since Mr India, this mean he never loved Mona.
4. Mona had moved on in life as she herself said in her interview..she said she had beautiful relationships..and one that lasted 4 years. Also she said that it was her decision to stay single.
5. Its been 16 years since Boney and Sridevi are married...and since Mona and Boney have separated. Both Mona and Boney had moved on...
ALOT OF YOU I KNOW IF YOU CAN FIN YOUR WAYS YOU WUD BREAKS MORE HOMES
Wow, Sri devil got away with murder.(mental torture)
My comment (anon_y did shri devi sell her husband just for wealth she is a sick woman just for fame and remember jaise karni whosa barni. Dated 03_04_2012 souith africa.
Wat abt judaai judaai she sold her husband 2 another woman just for wealthj
in the first place my question
why sridevi LOVED MITHUN married guy ..her mom and dad were alive then no probs for her she was leading a secured life ..i.e for boney all r saying mom dad died sis problems emotional probs
but IN CASE OF MITHUN NONE OF THESE WERE PRESENT then why did she egt involved with a married guy ..forget about mithun promising and cheating
why did she need a married guy why could;nt she fall in love with unmarried guy ?? is there any mental problem for sridevi
Why did Sridevi get involved with guys who ve to take divorce from their wives?? no unmarried guys for this plastic nose lady?
Sridevi never forced Mithun for anything. People here obviously don't know the facts. When they fell in love, Mithun told Sridevi that he will get a divorce to legalize their relation. But the man lied to her and never got it. When Sridevi found that he was still married to Yogita, she ended all ties with the man. The so called marriage of Sridevi and Mithun has never been proved conclusively. It's like they say Rekha married Vinod Mehra.
