The uncle of late Bollywood actress Sridevi has claimed that she lived in pain because of husband Boney Kapoor and died in grief.
In an interview with Telugu news channel, Venugopal Reddy said that there was lot of pain behind her smile.
Sridevi died of drowning in a bathtub in Dubai on February 24 at the age of 54.
"What we knew was Boney Kapoor lost a lot of money in few films and they sold Sridevi's properties to make up for the losses. And Sridevi always had that pain in her heart. Sridevi lived in pain and passed away with a lot of pain in her heart. She was not at peace. She wore a smile on her face for the world but she went through a lot inside her," he told the channel according to Bombay Times.
"Boney produced a film which never saw the light of the day, and they were financially going through a tough phase. Sridevi sold her properties and cleared those debts to get life back on track. And that was the main reason why Sridevi got back to acting in films," he added.
