Boney Kapoor got married to Sridevi in 1996 but they made their relationship official in 1997. They have two daughters- Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. There were reports that Janhvi was born out of wedlock. In an interview, Boney revealed that he got married to Sridevi in 1996 but later remarried publicly in 1997. He also rubbished the rumours that Janhvi was born to Sridevi before marriage.

Boney told YouTuber, Rohan Dua that he and Sridevi got married in a secret wedding in Shirdi in 1996 and announced their marriage only months later, in January, when Sridevi's pregnancy was visible. 

Boney also said that Sridevi was very religious and so also his daughter Janhvi. "She (Janhvi) goes to Tirupathi every three months. My wife Sridevi used to walk to Tirupathi on every birthday of hers. Whenever I was in trouble, she walked from Juhu to Siddhi Vinayak barefoot," said the filmmaker.

On his wedding with Sridevi, Kapoor said, "My second marriage, my marriage with Sri (took place in Shirdi). We got married on June 2. We exchanged vows, we spent a night there and it was only in January when her pregnancy was seen that we had no choice, but to marry publicly. It took place in Shirdi, on June 2. (But), in public, we were married only in January (1997). That is why some scribes still write she (Janhvi) was born before marriage, something like that."

Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai due to 'accidental drowning'.
