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's cover shot from Cine Blitz: August 1991
Sridevi with Krishna in Telugu cinema
Sridevi with her most frequent co-star of all time; Krishna. They acted in over 30 films together spanning over a prolific decade.
Krishna was 20 years older than Sridevi, born to pre-independent India, back in 31 May 1943! The two worked together non-stop in Telugu cinema until he aged out of leading man roles.
Rare pic: Sridevi with Subash Ghai at the premiere of Mr.India

Ghai hasn't had a hit or decent film since Taal. Rumour has it, he's workin on a sequel... Something that no one asked for. His preferences for Ms; Meenakshi, Mandhuri, Manisha, Mahima... was no match for Sridevi.
He gave better roles to heroes than heroines... and Sridevi stated she felt she was wasted in a multi-starcast film like Karma - even though it was the biggest hit of 1986, but she didn't have much to do in the film other than a few songs and scenes. He praised Sridevi often on stage - eg during the premiere of Mr.India. during English Vinglish post-film promotions... But it seemed more like a post success reactionary comment on the leading lady.
PS: Sridevi's simplicity in attending the premiere. My how times changed....
