Rare pic: Sridevi and Rati Agnihotri in 2000

Sridevi in and as Chandni: On screen perfection

Eyes eyes baby: Sridevi wins the MOVIE opinion poll

After a take-down of Sridevi to third place in the annual opinion poll edition of MOVIE magazine, this was sort of a consolation prize in 1993/1994..

30+ Sridevi's box-office clout wasn't as ironclad as it was before. And the readers had spoken. The publishers.. well, they published their findings.

Hardcore Sridevi fans didn't agree with much in that edition... but we bought the magazine anyway!!

Well, Sridevi did have the prettiest eyes.

Sridevi's passion project: Photography: The young star captures Rekha, Sunny Deol, Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra and sister Sreelatha!

SRIDEVI'S "VICTIMS" OF A SHOOTING SPREE!

TAKE a beautiful sexy, talented girl like Sridevi. And see what develops!

This year [1984], Sridevi declared she was fed up of posing for Annual-gatefolds and giving interviews. “Let me do something different,” she proclaimed. “How about turning photographer and clicking my famous colleagues especially for you?”

Never refuse a good offer. So we gladly gave her the go-ahead. Sridevi tells you how it all began...

Sridevi, "I used to feel quite bored idling on the sets in between shots and doing nothing. I'm not terribly fond of reading, especially when I'm working since it breaks my concentration. Photography always fascinated me. So one day I just picked up a camera and went click-click-click! To start with, I had more out of focus and distorted frames than clear pictures. But I learnt through trial and error. I took longer learning because I shoot only in natural light and don't use the flash. Now I'm quite an expert at my job though I want to buy a more professional camera than the 'Ricoh' I'm using presently...."

REKHA AT HER GLAMOROUS BEST Gorgeous, stunning, wow! Read all about the only long-lasting friendship in Rekha's life which has resulted in those mind blowing photographs the actress is famous for. Plus, exclusive pix in colour.

Rekha's Monkey Business

Both Latha [Sridevi's sister Sreelatha] and Rekha rag me to death about my passion for photography. Rekha is a good friend of the family and a better photographer than me. When Rekha is around we are never serious about anything we do. She is always monkeying around, keeping us in splits! I had to nearly beg and plead with her to stop playing the fool and give me some sane pictures.

Rekha looks lovely whichever angle you click her from. She has also clicked some very flattering photographs of mine but won't part with them especially to the press. I took her permission before I gave 'Star & Style' the pictures because I know how sensitive she is. Rekha was quite sporting and encouraging.

Shekhar's All Sugar 'n' Spice

There he is, sprawled (so he says) against the harsh Ladakh background. Shekhar is my favourite director, a close friend and of course, one of my favourite targets too!

Joker Jeetendra

Talking of monkeying around, Jeetendra just won't take my efforts at photography seriously. The moment he spots me focusing on him, he either makes faces or does somersaults. I have some really crazy pictures of his but they are all in Bombay and I can't seem to trace them. Most of them are out of focus though, because he doesn't cooperate...

Sunny Rises To The Occasion

Sunny Deol, though only a colleague and not a friend, is very, very co-operative. He doesn't get self conscious and is quite oblivious to my camera. I think these are my best candid shots... all of which were shot in Ladakh. [During the making of Joshilaay].

Rajesh's Photographic Expression

The most clever of the lot is my costar Rajesh Khanna. The moment he finds me focusing my camera, he becomes alert and tries to look natural, as he poses away quite happily. In this particular stint, he gave me all three shots in a matter of one minute. . .

Li'l Sister Latha

My sister Latha is my favourite model though she complains she is my most distorted victim! I try out all kinds of lighting on her and even Latha admits that some of her most complimentary pictures have been clicked by me. . .
