Bonny is the biggest douche, he went for a wife who is more popular and pretty but Sridevi ? She was mona's friend, backstabbing and sleeping with her husband behind her back is pretty shitty thing to do..it would have been a different situation had mona and boney divorced... and to think boney speaks how he fell in love with her everytime is pretty disgusting.
Sridevi might be shy, naive, amazing actress and probably a nice human but what she did to Mona and her children is horrible.
Madhuri is relevant today isn't she ? Her and anil had blazing chemistry but she didn't try break Anil's family and Anil was decent enough to be loyal to his fam.
I keep reading about Sridevi backstabbing her friend. But was she really that friendly with Mona? I tried searching their images together. I didn't get a single one. May be, media was not intrusive then. Even if I presume that, Sridevi is always known to be reserved with everyone (not being friendly with anyone outside her family). How close she would have been with Mona?
She used to stay in Boney Kapoor's house then. Obviously her relation with Mona must have been good. Whether she treated Boney as her friend's husband or Mona as her friend's wife, I have no idea.
Agree, women who chose less successful men (like Madhuri) are doing fine. But who are we to say, choose less successful ones?(It is their life, their choice).
We would not have pointed Sridevi out, if Boney had divorced Mona before dating Sridevi. (Like how we don't condemn Kareena- Saif. We will not bother, if Hritik marries someone now). But Boney did not do that. Most men during that time did not do that. Rajesh Khanna, Sunny Deol..., inspite of cheating their wives they never divorced.
Agree with you on Boney being the biggest douche. Whoever was at fault (Sri or him). When Sridevi was getting assaulted, the fetus inside was his baby. He did nothing to protect his baby.
Probably, Sridevi would have compromised on being Boney's second wife (along with Mona) just like Hemamalini was. But that incident must have changed her.
I wonder about her children. Indian men are hypocrites. They certainly love their daughters. But to them, son is their heir. Whether it is Jhanvi or Anshula, they cannot take up Arjun's place. Also, Boney as a father must have felt guilty towards his children from Mona. Now he might like to compensate them. If he changes now, Sri's daughters will loose both mother's and father's love.
Whoever had done the mistake, all the four children are not at fault. How will Boney do justice to them, when he never did justice to both the women? (One did not get a deserved closure after being in a marital relationship. Another, never got the respect from society).
