It wasn't the colour yellow per se (or blue, white or red!) but the monochrome, clean look that Sridevi loved to project on the big screen. The famed yellow sari of Chandni was a fashion moment but as we've displayed in the archive here with 80 posts, Sridevi often wore the sunshine coloured sari on screen--and off. Ever-radiant, it suited her skin tone and she shone bright.
The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.

The famed yellow sari: A Sridevi style staple

Happy Birthday Anil Kapoor! Sridevi's frequent co-star and eventual brother-in-law
Happy Birthday Anil Kapoor! Sridevi's frequent co-star and eventual brother-in-law turns a year younger!
In his incredibly diverse career, he's worked with every major leading lady in Bollywood. Unlike any other actor in the history of Indian cinema, he has worked in several films where his female co-star, leading lady had a better role, more scope to perform and he didn't interfere to ensure he got a better deal. The overall movie mattered more than his own personal spotlight. Longevity, acuity, skill - Anil Kapoor is one of the finest actors who had his Icarus moment in the 80s, fell, and rose again steadily. You can't pull a good man down, especially not an actor of his caliber. We wish the actor well on his 68th birthday.

Jeetendra, Dilip Kumar and Sridevi in Dharm Adhikari (1986)
Jeetendra, Dilip Kumar, Priti Sapru (back) and Sridevi on the sets of Dharm Adhikari (1986)
One of two films Sridevi and Dilip Kumar worked in (the other being Karma).
When Sridevi's appearance caused the accidental death of three: Ram Gopal Varma Posts
Deep breath.
Ram Gopal Varma, the enfante terrible of Indian cinema, occasionally comes out with the right comment, often at the wrong time.
However, on the rare occasion that I agree with what he says...
Sridevi's popularity in the 1980s in the south would be unfathomable to the current crop of wannabes. What she achieved in her tender lifetime remains unsurmountable.
Allu Arjun being arrested for an accident that happened elsewhere is just bizarre.
