Jeetendra with Sridevi over the years: Jeetendra quotes about Sridevi

The 1980's in Bollywood would be incomplete without mentioning the awesome twosome of Jeetendra and Sridevi. 

The most fun pair on screen, with their long list of mostly silly movies, they brought so much joy to so many people - particularly the film producers and distributors as they had a strong average of hits and mega hits in the early 80s!.

Jeetendra says about Sridevi: "I have done 15-16 films with Sri. Her sincerity and her inborn gift for acting brought her forward. She has carried herself very well and to this day, one cannot guess how old she is though she has been playing the heroine for the last 12 years. It could be a case of overexposure but somehow she has changed her look and dress-sense to keep pace with the times. 

Her films like Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja and Chandramukhi may have come if for a lot of criticism but no one had a bad word to say about Sri's performances."
-- Filmfare, April, 1994

Jeetendra, "Lots of people tell me that Sridevi and I looked good on screen. She is an amazing dancer and an astounding actress. I've lost count on the number of films that we did together. Sri is a professional when it comes to work and that's the reason she survived for so many years. She broke the myth that a Hindi film actress has a short career."
