This year is filled with some blockbuster releases and entertaining content. There's not a day when celebrities stay away from making shocking revelations or spilling interesting gossip. One such person who made headlines with an interesting reveal is Boney Kapoor.

The producer, who is currently busy promoting his recent release, Maidaan, spoke to many media houses and entertaining portals, where he gave a sneak peek into his personal life.

It seems the Kapoor genes are flowing across industries. The director-producer sat down with Galatta Plus, where he recalled the time his family was going through financial hardships.

Recalling the tough time, Boney revealed how the legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor made a move to bring Surinder Kapoor to Mumbai. The Maidaan producer walked down memory lane and shared an emotional narrative about his father's struggle.

Here's a fun fact: Surinder had already lost ten odd jobs due to his advocacy for workers and their rights. This didn't go down well with Boney Kapoor's grandfather, which eventually caused the family to move to Mumbai.


'My father was brought to Bombay by Prithviraj Kapoor. My grandfather handed over my father to Prithviraj ji because he left about 10-12 jobs. He was left, in the sense that he was thrown out because he was siding with and supporting the workers and fighting for their causes,' Boney said.

Narrating a personal anecdote, the producer further revealed, 'When my grandmother passed away, Anil and I decided that he would do the acting and I would take over the production. Somebody had to run the show at home as well. My father had a heart problem we didn't want to give him stress.'

Boney Kapoor's special connection with Raj Kapoor

Boney also revealed that after his marriage to Sridevi, the two lived in veteran actor Raj Kapoor's quarters, which were usually reserved for his household staff like servants and drivers.

He further delved into the tough times, recalling a specific incident where the director of one of his father's films passed away in the middle of the production. That is when the financial challenges began for the Kapoor family.

'My father was in debt. We were in a sh**hole,' he recalled.

Despite the rough times and financial obstacles, Boney Kapoor has managed to carve out a rather successful career for himself. His latest release, Maidaan, is a testament to the same, as it continues to receive positive reviews.
