Boney Kapoor has been put on a strict diet, courtesy daughter Janhvi Kapoor. And this has made him lose 12 kg in a few months. While Boney is struggling to keep himself fit, the producer revealed that this is not the first time that he has been put on diet. Many years ago, when he was dating Sridevi, he managed to lose 14 kg.
In an interview to Behind woods, Boney Kapoor said, “When I was courting her [Sridevi], I had lost 14 kg. But after marriage, when Sri was pregnant and she used to have lots of milkshakes and ice creams… She had a sweet tooth and I was also fond of faludas and ice creams. We used to go to all our favourite places and gorge on good food.”
But now his daughter Janhvi is taking care on his diet. “Janhvi has fixed a diet for me. In fact, it’s one of our family friends who specialises in it. She and Janhvi have decided what I should eat and how much I should eat. Sri was after me to lose weight. I tried my best but being a foodie I couldn’t. She had also given up on it,” added the producer.
It was in May this year that Janhvi Kapoor shared a picture of “slim trim” Boney Kapoor on Instagram. Along with the photo, she wrote, “Papa lost 12 kg!! Slim trim and healthy. So proud!!! #finally.” Boney Kapoor, who misses his wife dearly, added that he would been happy to show the progress to her, had she been alive.
