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.

The Sridevi Mithun Chakraborty saga; Sridevi's first Bollywood Scandal: Did they or didn't they... marry?
Mithun Chakraborty with Sridevi on the sets of Guru back in 1988.
Sridevi, all of 25, and the much-married Mithun was 38 during the making of the film. Speculation on their alleged affair, even more covert marriage created tabloid fodder throughout the 1980s. Sridevi never spoke to anyone about anything - but that sure as hell didn't stop the rancid tabloids from going to town, tarnishing her name. Sridevi rose above all, throwing herself at work, declining interviews, her quotes reworked to make saucy headlines, her shock at what was said and what was published.
As her moon was rising, his was falling - and how. The National Award winning actor turned from box-office gold to shot-in-Ooty B, C grade films. There was a year when he had over 20 films released as the cottage industry of insta-films he was a part of, helped innumerable film industry people, but tarnished the image of the actor. He has made a comeback of sorts now on reality TV and occasionally shows his brilliance in films like... well, Mani Ratnam's Guru comes to mind.
Today, Mithun da turns a ripe ol' 75.
