When asked what else transpired in that phone call, Amar Singh said “There was no scope to talk further at all. That was the kind of situation it was.”
Interestingly, Boney Kapoor and Amar Singh had both been to Lucknow a day earlier. The event was the UP Investor’s Summit, which was organised by UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
“I came back and boycotted the investors summit because they insulted me by giving me no seat or making any arrangements” said Amar Singh, adding that “Boney went back to Dubai to be with Sridevi”
“It’s a terrible situation. I have no words to express what I feel. One day we were all together dancing at a wedding and now this news comes in.” Amar Singh added, “Sridevi was doing very well. Their films were doing very well. They had no loans and had cleared all their outstandings. What has happened is just tragic.”
