Boney Kapoor: What Is His Net Worth?

On Feb. 24, 2018, Bollywood film producer Boney Kapoor suffered the loss of his wife, Sridevi Kapoor, when she accidentally drowned in a hotel bathtub. The 62-year-old widower and father of four spoke out about his wife’s death, writing:

“To the world, she was their Chandni, the actor par excellence, their Sridevi, but to me, she was my love, my friend, mother to our girls, my partner. To our daughters, she was their everything, their life. She was the axis around which our family ran.”

While it is true that Sridevi’s career was one of the more prolific in the Bollywood circuit, Boney Kapoor also garnered his own success through his years as a film producer. In 1980, along with then-wife Surinder Kapoor, he produced his first movie, Hum Paanch. Seven years later, he solo-produced his most successful film to date, Mr. India. Indian news outlet Rediff.com regarded Mr. India, which starred future wife Sridevi, as “one of the most iconic films of its time.” Though there were no award ceremonies in 1987 or 1988 that Mr. India could be awarded for, Sridevi was given the 2013 Filmfare Special Award for her performance.


A sequel to Mr. India has been in the planning stages since 2012, with Kapoor returning as producer and Sridevi slated to reprise her role as Seema Soni. In a statement about Sridevi's death, Mr. India director Shekhar Kapur said: "[T]hat film should have been made by now." No further statement on the film's status has been made.

So how much is he worth?

Since producing Hum Paanch, Kapoor’s net worth has undoubtedly increased. At the time of Sridevi’s death, the two had an alleged combined net worth of $35 million, or 228,2525,000 Indian rupees. The last film Kapoor and Sridevi worked on, the award-winning Mom, earned an approximate $9.8 million at the box office. MSN reported that the Bollywood power couple owned a line of luxury cars, including Porsche, Ford and Audi and were known for their frequent travels.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
