Meenakshi Seshadri dances with Sridevi: Series of photos from Joshilaay set

Though Meenakshi Seshadri was an articulate actress and a fine dancer (and a beauty queen to boot - she was Miss India 1981 at the age of 17!), she could not match up to the box-office popularity of her southern contemporary and superstar, Sridevi.

The two were on screen briefly in the film Joshilaay and had a fine dance number in it. Hard to say who was better; both danced well and gracefully, but Sridevi brought her own comedic twist to her number.

UPDATE: Below, cover of 'Madhuri' magazine, a Hindi tabloid with Meenakshi Seshadri and Sridevi.
