Rajinikanth and Sridevi in the Tamil film Vanakkatukuriya Kathaliye (1978)
Sridevi was just 15 back then and her famed co-star, Rajnikanth was 29.
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.

Sridevi, 18, and N. T. Rama Rao, 58, in the Telugu film Satyam Sivam (1981)
The Telugu remake of the Rekha - Amitabh Bachchan Hindi smash Suhaag (which was the biggest hit of 1979), the 40 year age gap was... strange then, improbably now.
BTW the film also had Rati Agnihotri, 21, with co-star Akkineni Nageswara Rao, 58.
Gorgeous Sridevi in Khuda Gawah: With sari-clad ease, Sridevi was 'the' pioneering Indian actress who got equal billing, higher pay and equal footage and screen-presence while her contemporaries kowtowed to four songs, three scenes and a mangalsutra-clutching moment of teary-eyed agony. Sridevi was no flag carrying feminist. She just was.
While Anupama Chopra has referred to Sridevi often as 'the great Sridevi," I beseech you to take it further. Her excellency; Sridevi.
