Boney Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor were clicked at Lokhandwala as they paid tribute to the late actress Sridevi by inaugurating a road junction in her name. In a video posted on a paparazzi account, Boney Kapoor can be seen revealing Sridevi's picture by pulling off the cloth from the chowk named after her. The ceremony happened at the chowk near Sridevi's longtime residence, Green Acres Tower. The function took place on October 12 at around 6 PM.

The late superstar actress Sridevi will forever be remembered for the varied roles she portrayed in her career spanning many years. Although her life was out there in the media, there are still some facts about her that you might not know. Not many people may know this, and for those who don't, this piece of information will definitely come as a shock. The truth is that Sridevi was not her real name. Her real name was Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan. She changed her name to Sridevi as her screen name.
She married producer Boney in 1996 and had two daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, in 1997 and 2000. On February 24, 2018, Sridevi was found dead in a bathtub at a hotel in Dubai. She was attending a family wedding when she accidentally drowned.
