“But I hate that another year has been added to a life without you.
“I hope we make you proud Mumma because that’s the only thing that keeps us going. Love you forever.”

Boney has spoken fondly of Sridevi on several occasions since her death.
Speaking on his wife’s death anniversary in 2021, Boney said: “I am not looking for closure.
“I want her to be around me all the time. She is there in my thoughts and will remain in my thoughts all the time.
“There is not a single moment of the day where she is not with me.
“She may not be here physically, but she’s there in my mind all the time and that keeps me going.”
Sridevi was known for her iconic roles in Hindi movies like Chandni, Lamhe, Mr India, Chaalbaaz, Nagina, Sadma and English Vinglish, among many more.
