He reveals, “She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she was in good shape, so that on-screen, she looked good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue.” 

Recounting a story when Nagarjuna told him about an incident when Sridevi passed out in a bathroom and lost her tooth. He said, “It was unfortunate. Later when she passed away.

Further explaining, Boney said that he was aware of Sridevi's habit, and he even asked her doctor to advise her to take some salt. He added, “Unfortunately, she didn’t take this seriously, and he also thought maybe it can’t be this serious until the incident happened.”

During the same interview, Boney revealed that he was interrogated for 24–48 hours after Sridevi's death.

''It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play," the producer told the outlet.

He added, "I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental."
