Sridevi then married Boney Kapoor, who is a film producer and the brother of Anil and Sanjay Kapoor. The duo had two daughters Janhavi and Khushi Kapoor. She was soon flooded with movies and built her reputation with them. Her repo initially was built by the movie Janbaaz although it was Himmat-waala who launched her into stardom. The songs of this movie were fired up by Sridevi’s performances. Her performance in the orange chiffon sari on the song “Har Kisi Ko” was a huge hit and thereafter she became the first female superstar of Bollywood.
