Sridevi at the audio launch of Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe in 2002: With Sanjay Kapoor, Esha Deol, Hema Malini

 

This power suit by Sridevi is so beautiful. And Sridevi, 38 at the time, looks so gorgeous. The ill-fated launch of Esha Deol in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe (2002)... Daughter of the two greatest movie stars of Indian cinema--Dharmendra and Hema Malini--she was a pretty debutant but, sadly ill-prepared. Gautam Rajadhyaksha had said early on that she's too young to jump in and needed growing up, but the keen teen paid no heed. 

Sanjay Kapoor wasn't too bad as the villain this movie btw... but as the film tanked, very few people took note.

A decade separates the two events and still the former No:1 actresses of Bollywood look divine in each and every frame. 

Sridevi and her exquisite taste in saris and salwaars. So gorgeous...

Though the movie didn't do well, Esha Deol was nominated for every Best Newcomer award across the board. Sanjay Kapoor received the best reviews in his career for his villainous turn.
