I know it was an affair, that's why I have used the word 'practically'. Coz while they were in an affair Sridevi was getting her benefits, including getting roles in Boney's films. Would she get those roles had she not been in relationship with him?🤔 It was kinda equivalent to casting couch even if not the same😆
Please she was doing Boney a favor. She was a superstar and a very big star in the south before that. boney only had a few hits and some big flops. Now one can question the morality of having an affair with a married man with kids-fine-but film wise he had nothing to do with her success. Sridevi started acting when she was 5 and always mom or someone accompanied her -so some protection there from lecherous producers/directors . She was a child star who transitioned into an adult star in south and then hindi.
It was rumored she had affairs with Mithun and Jeetandra -I think one or both were married-so she certainly had a type.
