The accident could have proved catastrophic for the family. But Boney, Sridevi and the two daughters were safe. This was just after a major road accident where Boney escaped unhurt. Boney was getting the place ready as a big surprise for Sridevi’s birthday in August.

Boney had then said, “Some power has protected me and my family. There is so much good that’s happening. My wife’s comeback film English Vinglish continues to resonate across the world. My son Arjun’s career is going great guns. I am lining up films to produce in the next two years — it’s good.
