Kareena Kapoor, Sridevi, Manmohan Singh - and I think that might be Pamela Chopra... and others.
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.

Yash Chopra, "Sridevi is a complete actress, unrivalled..."
Sridevi got into the character to the extent that she even reduced her weight. It was unbelievable that any actress would work so hard. In one song she has sung a few lines and because her diction and sur was a problem she stood for nearly twelve hours rehearsing every line. Sridevi’s own contribution to the film, as an artist, was immense. Even in a close up shot she was very careful.
In her dancing her face is very expressive which is an added qualification. Bhava is of the soul dance. I don’t agree with the theory that an actress face should not be more expressive than the body. All dancers, like Vyjayantimala, have a visually strong image because of their faces - so does Sridevi. She is the complete actress, unrivalled and the best material available.
I don’t believe in the numbering business, but I’ll say she is the top and nobody can even compete with her today, leave alone being better than her.”

Bollywood Memories on Instagram is one of the few social media posts we follow. The curation of images is good, often great. Rare stills unearthed from the 80s and 90s
Rare Indian film poster: Sridevi in Gumrah
Gumrah was out and out Sridevi's film - but Sanjay Dutt sure did bring in the masses. Post Khalnayak, Dutt Jnr was 'the' hero of the masses...
Gumrah did what Jigra couldn't for the leading lady...

Boney Kapoor's Instagram lit with Sridevi images
As the 'likes' on images of Sridevi hit the thousands+ mark, and his own self pics not as much, the social media algorithm is having a field day trying to recalibrate!
As the 7 year mark of the tragic passing of Sridevi is upon us soon, we are all thinking of 'the great Sridevi.'
