A look that wasn't in the film, but here's Sridevi on the sets of Lamhe. Looking gorgeous beyond belief!

Oh So Saree: Sridevi works the traditional sari in style





No one wears a sari/saree better than Sridevi. She does it so well, she's been the face of Indian Emporium saris, an early advertising campaign she did in the 1980s. Other snaps of Sridevi on the set of various films, at events, on screen and off. Gorgeous x billion!

When it came to photo ops, Krrish star Hrithik Roshan asked the photographers for a keepsake snap with his first heroine, Sridevi! As fans know, Hrithik appeared as a child-artist in Bhagwaan Daada, a film which starred Sridevi, Rajnikanth and Rakesh Roshan. The film was produced by the Roshans.

Many folks from the film industry turned up to wish Roshan Snr, the popular actor, producer and director.

The Model Actress: Sridevi's adverts from the 1980s to 2010!

One of the earliest superstars to join the lucrative advertising bandwagon, Indian actress Sridevi has been posing for the still-camera and brands for decades. Be it lightbulbs, soap, hair-oil, household products or most often and most recently jewellery adverts.

Looking at stills from her early Indian Emporium sari ads from the 1980s, to her regal jewelry ads in recent years, Sridevi hasn't lost any of her innate grace nor her Goddess-ian self.

"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety..."

Sridevi’s Diwali ritual for daughters Jahnvi and Khushi


Sridevi is not the staunch disciplinarian in the house. She is, in fact, a cool mother, who respects the needs of changing times and tells her daughters — Jahnvi and Khushi — to "take it easy".

With Diwali just round the corner, the actress acknowledges it's no more about getting up in the morning (as early as 4 am) as her parents would insist she do. However, what has stayed constant over the years is her ritual of shopping for them for Diwali.

She reveals, "Every Diwali, I buy them the traditional South Indian Pattu Pavadai (half-saris) from Chennai myself. They can be in any colour, but black. We burst crackers and go for a family dinner, but there are no card parties."

While the actress herself looks lovely in saris, she feels her daughters are too young to drape the whole six yards. "I would love to see them in one, but they are too young. They won't be able to manage it...in a few years' time definitely," she adds.

Celebrating Karva Chauth: Sridevi in 2013

Sridevi, from a still from her film Judaai
As an ocean of Indian women did the traditional act of fasting for their husbands on the auspicious day of Karva Chauth (which fell on Tuesday, Oct 22, 2013), so did Sridevi for film producer Boney Kapoor, her chubby hubby.

At the residence of actor Anil Kapoor, many members of the Kapoor family gathered and Sridevi was seen leaving the residence in a traditional kanjeevaram red sari, looking gorgeous in her flawless ensemble.

As many who follow know, Karwa Chauth (Hindi: करवा चौथ) is a festival celebrated by Hindu women (mostly in North India but has dispersed in many factions) where married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of life of their husbands. The fast is broken when the couple first see a full moon together. 

 
 

Though many feminists decry the ritual act of sacrifice, many women follow the tradition annually. To show support for their respective wives, many husbands fast with their spouses simultaneously too.
