The news of her passing was widely reported in both Indian and foreign media. She had two children including actress Janhvi Kapoor with film producer Boney Kapoor with whom she was married.

I missed out on going to school and living in college but I entered the film industry and worked without a break progressing from child actress to heroine. I was glad there wasn't any time for thought Sridevi said this once in an Interview.
When Sridevi married another actor Mithun Chakraborty in the early 1980s they were never open about their relationship. While Mithun was already married to Yogeeta Bali the two had secretly wed in 1985. Yogeeta Bali is said to have tried to commit suicide after learning about the marriage. In an interview Mithun's first wife had also declared that in that scenario she would accept Sridevi and their union.Since Yogeeta Bali stood by him through thick and thin Mithun Chakraborty chose to stay safe and happy with her rather than the other option leaving Sridevi with a broken heart.
According to rumors their romance grew stronger while they were filming Jaag Utha Insan in 1984. They were extremely close and Boney Kapoor had always been Mithun Chakraborty's greatest buddy. Boney and Mithun were good friends and the public is also aware that Sridevi and Mona Kapoor Boney's first wife were close friends. While Sridevi was dating Mithun Chakraborty Mona gave her a place to stay. Up until Mona learned of her ongoing connection with her husband Boney Kapoor the two remained close friends.
Mona Kapoor was Boney Kapoor's first wife and she is no longer with us. She was nonetheless Sridevi's closest friend. Sridevi and Mithun Chakraborty were dating at the time and Boney Kapoor was content with Mona. Mithun though didn't have many reservations about Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. To persuade Mithun of her own Sridevi tied a rakhi to Boney Kapoor. In an interview Mona Kapoor the first spouse of Boney Kapoor disclosed that Sridevi had linked Rakhi to Boney Kapoor.
The romance between Sridevi and Mithun however was short-lived. When Geeta Bali learned that Mithun and Sridevi were dating Mithun and Sridevi ended their engagement. Mithun was already married to Geeta Bali. Naturally there was no connection between Boney Kapoor and Sridevi when they first met but Mr. India succeeded in bridging that gap. Only after being offered the part in this movie did Boney Kapoor open up to Sridevi about his feelings. Both of them collaborated on numerous films after that. Because Sridevi referred to Boney Kapoor as a brother Boney Kapoor also had no issues with their growing friendship.
However Mona Kapoor was equally as shocked when she learned of Sridevi's pregnancy. Only subsequently did Mona Kapoor and Boney Kapoor divorce. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor were wed in a temple in 1996.
