Boney Kapoor also said that he was informed of high pressure being put on the case from the Indian media.
“It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. That is how I got a clean chit from the Dubai police. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media," Boney Kapoor told the New Indian.
"Well, I said I have nothing more to say than what I have been saying. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental death by drowning," he added.
Boney Kapoor also claimed that Sridevi's health was influenced by her crash diets.
“She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She would make sure that she is chiselled and in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good,” Boney said.

“From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue, don't get into this severe diet where you avoid salt," he said.
“It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away. Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that’s how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth,” he added.
