Sridevi struts in... and then storms out of Filmfare Awards 2011! Sridevi's war with Filmfare and Jitesh Pillai

All eyes were on Sridevi at Filmfare Awards night as the superstar cut a fine figure on the red carpet. A slim, svelte, sexy, shimming, shining superstar,  Sridevi arrived in great style to the annual Filmfare festivities.  The Filmfare Awards show of 2011 was a highly anticipated affair as all the stars of Bollywood attended (who were in town, nominated, and probably knew they'd win if they attended!).  

Sridevi looked absolutely radiant and statuesque in a purple Donna Karan satin gown. The creases are always an unfortunate side-effect of wearing satin but we still think she was purplicious-delicious-gorgeous! 

UPDATE: Sridevi walked out of the award-show minutes after being seated. She was extremely upset at where she and Boney Kapoor were demoted. She felt sidelined and let the publishing team and powers-that-be know of her displeasure with a walk-off. Editor of the magazine Jitesh Pillai confirms, Sridevi was upset and he hopes to makeup with the legend... soon. 

UPDATE 2: Jitesh Pillai and Sridevi patched things up within weeks. So much so, Jitesh was one of a few handful of people invited to the dinners and birthday parties hosted at Manish Malhotra's house for Sridevi. Pillai also ensured that Sridevi got exclusive covers on the eve of every release of hers thereon.  In the busy Bollywood nite, he swears they had no intentions of slighting Sri and she remained a favourite of the Filmfare team.
