Boney Kapoor recounts Rishi Kapoor calling him ‘Cinderella’
Recently Filmmaker Boney Kapoor opened up of an heartwarming story on Rishi Kapoor affectionately calling him “Cinderella” at Raj Kapoor’s Deonar Cottage.
Boney Kapoor recounted this amidst the centenary celebration of Indian Film Industry’s legendary actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor
Boney shared memories of living in the same Chembur neighborhood as the Kapoor family. Often, Raj Kapoor’s car would be parked, waiting for him to return from work, and they would gather for dinner and conversations that lasted until the early hours of the morning.
The playful nickname “Cinderella,” coined by Rishi (known as Dabboo) and Neetu, added a touch of familial affection to their bond.
Boney remembered the time Raj Kapoor expressed his desire to honor Sridevi, Boney’s late wife and one of Indian cinema’s greatest actresses, with an award. He recalled how the last event Raj attended before his passing was the silver jubilee celebration of Mr. India. Boney had hoped Raj would present the award to him, but the legendary actor insisted, saying, “I will give it to her.” Raj Kapoor even shared with Boney his wish for Sridevi to star in a film titled Ghunghat Ke Pat Khol.
