Mumbai, Mar 25: Film producer Boney Kapoor's ex-wife Mona died of cancer today.
The 48-year-old, who was the CEO of Future Studios, an indoor shooting studio in Mumbai, is survived by two kids Arjun and Anshula.
She had been diagnosed with cancer and was admitted to the Hinduja Hospital here two weeks ago. Mona had recently said on Twitter that she was fed up with enquiries about her health, and that she was “battling stag 3 multiple organs cancer”.
Her son Arjun is set to make his debut in Bollywood with Yash Raj Films's “Ishaqzaade”.
