In a conversation on Komal Nahta’s Game Changers: Producers’ Series podcast, veteran producer Boney Kapoor spoke about the many lesser-known talents of his late wife, actress Sridevi. While celebrated widely for her acting, Kapoor shared that she had much more to her than just being a performer.

Boney Kapoor opens up on late wife Sridevi’s multifaceted talent; says, “She was also hiding a filmmaker in herself”

When asked by host Komal Nahta whether Sridevi harbored dreams beyond acting,  perhaps as a writer, director, or producer, Kapoor didn’t hesitate to affirm.

Boney stated, “She was everything you said. She was also hiding a filmmaker in herself. She would just stand and make out that the light is not perfect. She would do half her makeup herself, she used to decide what hairstyle goes with what costume, she used to guide, rather give sketch, to the designer quite a few times.”

Kapoor recalled her deep involvement in the creative process, often going above and beyond the call of a performer. He shared an incident from the set of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, where Sridevi rejected initial costume sketches and had the designer flown to Kashmir to rework them. “She changed the whole color theme, in bargain I had to change the whole set theme to match it,” Kapoor said, illustrating how her artistic vision influenced entire productions.

He also credited her for shaping the careers of top designers. “You can check with Manish Malhotra how much she has contributed to their growth. I can honestly say that about her.”

This rare insight from Boney Kapoor paints a fuller picture of Sridevi,  not just as an actress, but as an intuitive filmmaker, stylist, and creative force whose influence extended behind the camera as well.
