Sridevi in the 1980s in Tollywood and Bollywood

 

When society and media fans out at Sridevi

 

Rare photo with Sridevi with her only sister on set: Sreelatha with Sreedevi

On the sets of the sadly shelved and unreleased film Garajna (rumour has it, the entire thing is complete and in a vault somewhere lost in legal battles galore), Sridevi with her younger sister Sreelatha [now Sreelatha Sanjay]. 

There are inaccurate YouTube clips and Instagram posts stating that Sreelatha tried to do films - this is wildly untrue and speculative. Sreelatha married young and early and while she accompanied Sridevi on sets innumerable time (which we've often archived here), at no point has she ever expressed interest or enthusiasm for appearing in films. The very vocal sister of the superstar was opposite of Sridevi, who was press shy. Sreelatha has often shown in the past, she has no qualms about talking to the press. She was/is no wallflower. 

You can follow her on Instagram. She, on occasion, posts rare pics of Sridevi on her account.

Sridevi rocking the IIFA Stage: 2013

 

Am so blessed I've seen Sridevi perform live on stage; in Hong Kong and Macau. When she was 30 and when she was 50 something. What all these tribute dances on Indian reality TV shows reveal is the dancing aspirant's acrobatics, not the grace, charm and expressive nature of a definitive Sridevi dance. Sridevi wasn't don't circus acts on stage, she was glamorous, gorgeous and graceful. A woman in full command, what distinguished her from the girls. 

All in the family: Janvhi Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Sridevi and Khushi Kapoor

All in the family: Janvhi Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Sridevi and Khushi Kapoor back in 2010. 

Dabboo Ratnani, who never featured Sridevi in his calendar, despite the Fanclub's requests over years, did get to photograph the Queen of Indian cinema a handful of times. 

This family portrait was for the cover shoot of Good Housekeeping. Sridevi appeared on the cover twice, first in 2007, then with her daughters in 2010. 

The best shoot he did was with Sabyasachi and Sridevi - during the promos for English Vinglish back in 2012.
