Touch-me-Knot: Sridevi's no touching policy! Sridevi keeps villains at Bay

Amusing anecdotes from the sets of Chandra Mukhi. More pics from this series here.

Tinsel Town cover story opening page: Pull quote: "Who says I'm mismatched with Salman [Khan]. I'm not all that ancient!"

Sri was right - Sridevi was 1.5 years older than Salman Khan but the media and critics made such a fuss about the age-gap! 🙄

Filmfare:

Touch-me-not Sridevi has made a fine art of avoiding body contact. When she had to do one of those rough rape scenes for Chandra Mukhi at Natraj Studio, the true-blue professional didn't turn a hair. 

But she made sure that the baddies didn't get too close for comfort. As the shot required her hands to be tied, she knotted the rope herself - every time. Even when the camera was switched on, villain Tinnu Anand didn't have a hope of getting within touching distance. For Sridevi plays an apsara who's descended to earth to help Salman Khan. She has all the powers to hypnotise Tinnu into believing she is his mother... bahen... Such weird imagination!
