Newsmakers 1997: Sridevi

Boneyji and my baby changed my life


Sridevi: "I will always remember 1997 with gratitude, I have lived through a number of storms all these years. There were times when I felt like a boat being tossed around from one port to another, getting no signs of reaching anywhere. I was surprised I survived these storms. There were times when I almost thought of giving up. I was even tempted to believe that it was all over for me but I kept fighting my battles, all on my own. Then, when I was facing the worst crisis in my life both on the family front and on the professional front, Boneyji was sent by God. I was drawn towards him. I gradually accepted him, as the man who knew the answers to all my problems. Our association led to love and love led to marriage, despite all the odds. I will remember the year which I found happiness at last. My happiness was unimaginable when I became a mother. I will do anything for Boneyji and the baby. Giving up my career is the least I could do. I had reached the peak and have no other goals. I had one successful film and I could have made the best out of the success but I didn't. I have already let people know that I am no longer interested in acting. I have discovered another world - I am happy looking after Boneyji and my baby. Going marketing for the family  and looking after my husband and baby's needs gives me greater joy than all the success I have seen. God has blessed me with so much happiness I have and pray it won't leave me alone again..."
