“You were lucky you were immediately hospitalised. I remember Shanaya was at Mannat (Shah Rukh Khan’s home). I said, you immediately leave. I was constantly in touch with Kannu (nephew, Mohit Marwah). Kannu dragged you and put you in the car. If you hadn’t gone, you could’ve gone into a coma.”

Maheep Kapoor informed Sanjay that she could see the fear on their children's faces when she woke up in the ICU. She added that the events surrounding Sridevi and Mona had deeply affected the kids, leaving them in shock. She said: 

“I could see it on their faces when I woke up in the ICU; they were scared. You know, somewhere, with Sri (Sridevi) and Mona, it’s affected the kids so deeply, they were in shock.”

Sanjay Kapoor added that during Maheep Kapoor's hospital stay, he watched Shanaya 'grow up in those three days' by taking over phone calls, interacting with the physicians, and liaising with the family. Mona, the first wife of Sanjay's brother Boney Kapoor, passed away in 2012 following a fight with cancer. In 2018, Sridevi, his second wife, drowned in a bathtub in Dubai.
