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 ----------

RANI HAS BEEN DATING ADITYA CHOPRA SINCE YEARS WHICH LED TO HIS DECISION OF MAKING FILMS ONLY WITH HER FOR MANY YEARS. HE DIVORCED HIS CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART JUST RECENTLY. CHECK UR FACTS....SHE'S A HOME BREAKER TOO.
Here we go again! The mad-woman has come out of the Asylum on another chance to bash Rani! Wait for her multiple posts saying the same thing over and over again!!!!
No-one in Bollywood has "clean" hands! Even if what you say is true at least THEY had the DECENCY to wait. Rani didn't force Aditya to divorce his wife by getting pregnant!!!!!! And the most important aspect is that Aditya Chopra does not have ANY CHILDREN.
Aditya has been divorced from Payal for a few years now, they could have gotten married a few years back but they didn't. Because Rani didn't "steal" him she is secure in what they have. They don't have to be embarrassed about anything because their "peers" in Bollywood hardly have upstanding morals - none of them!
Why in Indian society it's never a man'e fault? I'm Indian but how come you let guys off the hook easily but always the women get the blame? Also, how many arranged marriage couple are really happy? I feel sad that many couple end up staying together for their sake of their kids by sacrificing their happiness, sex and joy? I'm all for bringing up the kids in happy environment but hey I believe the kids themselves will chose their own happiness over their parents when they grow old. So stop being bloody judgmental, these people have balls to do what they want because they refuse to follow the stupid old way of our culture. We are in 21st Century, all religion and Culture value are made by men through their own fantasy and standard to suit them centuries ago. Its been many centuries now, its time to move on and make the values to suit TODAY'S society.
i cant help but laugh at the comments of the idiotic sridevi fans! ENOUGH ALREADY!! She was no sati savitri...that u say oh he took advantage of her and blah blah...neither was she a kid....sri devi was well into her late 30's...fully grown and a fully matured woman!! she knew what she was doing...obviously!!!
boney kapoor is also at fault...but sri devi is MORE at fault...why did she go after a happily married man??? and that to after that man...whose wife had taken her as a sister?? and what respect does she have...that even when mona kapoor died...she didnt even come to her funeral??? Any answer for that...losers??
Remember...a woman is a woman's own enemy!
Ok, now I don't understand why some of you here are supporting sridevi.. Both boney and sridevi have got to be blamed here! Imagine what mona's kids went through during that time, must've been awful during that age! I hope ishaqzaade does well for Arjun kapoor!
So much respect for you Mona, May you RIP

I think then people should hate Ash because she took advantage of salman n Vivek.....hate Amir khan and also hate AB for having an affair with rekha who was all alone at that time...
--------------------------------
Ash? really ? here we r talking abt extra marital affair and not dating....get a life.She is the only one in the world to have survived after dumping Salman. What else that womn should do? dump him and dae younger guys BUT dont shmae him in publi by admitting to it.And meet him whenever possible.
BTW what a woman..RIP monaji

I hope Sridevi's film flops big time and she never thinks about making a come back every again!
OTOH a 13 year old ARRANGED marriage is not that long, who knows what their relationship was like....
I remember an article in stardust or something while the scandal was going on where Mona said that she completely trusted Sridevi because she had even visited Mona and gifted her a 'mangalsutra' and sworn that she was not having an affair with Boney. ouch!
The so called Sridevi ji some of the idiots here call is a bloody conniving and thieving woman! I hope she is never happy !
RANI HAS BEEN DATING ADITYA CHOPRA SINCE YEARS WHICH LED TO HIS DECISION OF MAKING FILMS ONLY WITH HER FOR MANY YEARS. HE DIVORCED HIS CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART JUST RECENTLY. CHECK UR FACTS....SHE'S A HOME BREAKER TOO.
May God give strength to her kids to go on in life...
I guess married men in a way are more mature and responsible than single guys..that alone is attractive to women with father issues! not just in the industry, but a neighbor of mine went to the same thing..she invited her best friend from another town to stay over her and her husband's house and after a couple of months, the best friend and husband fell in love...! I do think it's a childhood issue...bad parenting or something...
shilpa too married a guy who divorced his wife after getting involved with shilpa....but here we believe that their relationship was over b4 shilpa entering their life....infact Raj kundra's wife said publicly that their marriage because of shilpa....then y blame sridevi....
wow we are hypocrites....just because boney married sridevi means its her fault....how abt boney's fault or mona's....no offense to mona...may her soul RIP but stop being so narrow minded.....divorces are common and can happen to anyone.....
Sri Devi pulled the same stunt with Mithun but Yogita Bali threatened suicide or something so Mithun went back to his wife...then it was Boney's turn. What the bloody hell is wrong with women like these who sleep with married men!!!??? As for the men - spineless adulterers. There's a long list of adulterers in the celeb world alone, spreading from Hollywood to Bollywood - Hema Malini-Dharmendar, Hema Malini-Jeetendra (rumored), Sridevi-Boney Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty-what's-his-face, Rekha (rumored with a married Vinod Mehra), Kamal Hassan-Sarika, Sunny Deol-Dimple (rumored), Nagarjuna-Amala-Tabu, Rani-Aditya Chopra, Zeenat Aman-Sanjay Khan, Raveena-what's-his-face, Waheeda Rehman-Guru Dutt (rumored), Raj Kapoor-Nargis (rumored)...any more guys?...Do we add PC-SRK, PC-Akshay Kumar??!! All moral-less creatures. That way, if rumors are to be believed, then kudos to Amitabh and Rekha for not acting on their love/lust and destroying a family. And full kudos to a self-made star like Ash who could have had her pick of men, married or otherwise, but who didn't, and Vidya Balan, Karishma, Kareena, Kajol, Imran, Abhishek (I can't believe that cannot add SRK's name here...before PC rumors his name used to head the list of loyal, committed married men...)
i know the pain mona must have felt but maybe not in such depth. mine was girlfriend being stolen by friend. Hers was more painful and complicated. Must have hurt alot
Boney Kapoor produced and Sri Devi starred in a movie (opp Anil Kapoor) called Judaai
where she forces her husband to remarry for money, but ultimately feels 'wronged'
I wonder what the meaning behind that movie was now that i know about the situation with mona.
RIP, monaji.
Mona was soooo much prettier then that nasty looking Sridevi.. ewwww how could boney kapoor leave Mona for Sri?

i dont understand how indian ppl n hindi film industry forgives so many women like sridevi, hema malini etc if that was hollywood, aka angelina jolie it wouldnt b forgivn
BUT JOLI IS FORGIVING (AND SHE A SERIAL Robber pairs )......
SHE AND HER SCUMBAG REALLY POPULAR.................
shreedevi will pay for this one day
Boney was Sri Devi's rakhi bhai because Mona actually let the struggling actress have a shelter in their home. Looks like Sri bit the hand that fed her.
I donot think it was sridevi's fault.....she was also lonely at that time....may be boney wanted someone much younger than him...
I think then people should hate Ash because she took advantage of salman n Vivek.....hate Amir khan and also hate AB for having an affair with rekha who was all alone at that time...
Well I don't think Sri did anything wrong....she was alone n boney was not getting along well with Mona....just because boney married n Mona decided to remain single doesn't make anyone bad or good....
Feel very bad for mona. God is there. May her soul rest in peace
