Bollywood Memories: Anil Kapoor's quote on Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit

Bollywood Memories: Anil Kapoor's quote on Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit 

Well... in his home productions, Anil Kapoor let his leading ladies shine often enough. Sometimes to the detriment of his own image... 

Thankfully, once a great actor, always a great actor.

Sridevi 2.0 was just roaring to go... alas, cruel fate had other plans...

Jaya Prada with Sridevi in Devatha (1982)

Jaya Prada and Sridevi in the Telugu smash Devatha (1982), which of course was remade in Hindi as Tohfa the following year and released in early 1984.

Rivals in life, sisters on screen, the tumultuous frenemies of the film fraternity made for interesting gossip. It was all very high-school of course, but then you realise, well, they were teenagers back then and it was teen behaviour--except the squabbles  was played out in national tabloids. 

With age and maturity, they did bury the hatchet - thankfully, not in the other's back. 

How lovely they were - just classic Indian beauties on the big screen.
