The story so far…

Khaleej Times had reported late last night that Sridevi was getting ready for a dream dinner date with her husband Boney Kapoor before her death.

According to a source close to the family, Kapoor flew back from Mumbai and went to her room at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel around 5.30pm to “surprise” her with dinner. Sridevi, Boney Kapoor and younger daughter Khushi Kapoor were in Ras Al Khaimah early last week to celebrate the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah.

It is said that Boney Kapoor had returned to Mumbai after the wedding, but decided to come back to ‘surprise’ his wife. After she refused to respond to his calls, he pushed the door open only to find her lying motionless in the bathtub. Since then, the family has been caught in a whirlwind of police investigation and media frenzy leaving several questions unanswered.

Since her body has been placed in the General Department of Forensic Evidence, Dubai Police, a small trickle of fans has been consistently been walking into the morgue section of the forensic department.

Leena Albuquerque, General manager of Grand Home Real Estate, and Marie Clare Curley, sales manager of the same company, have been friends with Boney Kapoor for over a decade. “He’s a gentleman, and real tragedy has struck them. We’ve come to pay our respects to the family,” said Curley.
