Sridevi with her most frequent co-star of all time...

When Sridevi was 25, her most frequent film co-star of all time was... 45. The bad wig, but great skin, it was an obvious and visible age gap that apparently Telugu audiences and filmmakers were fine with. After all they did over 30+ films together! 
 

Eternal Chandni: Sridevi


Some of the most memorable stills from Sridevi's doppelganger, her alter ego, her soulful avatar; the great Sridevi in and as Chandni

Sridevi herself said in an interview with MOVIE magazine that she was most like her character in Chandni. Sometimes actors fit into the mold of a character so intensely, they can't distinguish where they end, their on screen character begins. This has happened often; Madhuri Dixit said she was most like her character in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Juhi said of Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke, Rekha, most like Khoobsurat!. 

Sridevi, "I don't have any one favorite film but Chandni, Nagina and Mr. India are my three absolute favorites. It's not very often that a character you play is like you. To an extent Chandni is. The character of a small town girl who with the passage of time and because of her experiences in the city, becomes a woman who can handle her own life is like me. Except in Chandni, Rishi got out of the woman's life, but no man went out of my life (laughs)...."

Sridevi and Dimple Kapadia share tabloid cover of Film Rekha

Dimple Kapadia turns 69 today. The gorgeous grandmother always had the greatest head of hair on film, a decent actress, always elegant, very stylish, a child bride and movie star... has had one of the most interesting lives off screen! On screen her successes have been intermittent, great highs and quite a few duds... but ravishing Dimple Kapadia always gave spicy copy. Uncensored, unbothered, she played the fame game well. 

We couldn't find ONE picture of Dimple Kapadia with Sridevi - even though they both appeared in the film Jaanbaaz back in 1986... and had parallel lives and careers in Bollywood in that infamous decade.   

But they shared many tabloid magazine covers over the years. Sridevi seen here on the sets of... Nagina or Nigahein? Comment below to let us know! 

 


Sridevi costume on Indian Reality TV: The knock off versus the OG!

I don't understand why reality TV in India is so bad - and this is next level. And to do it in the guise of Sridevi's Hawa Hawaii costume! The nerve! 

 



Sunny Deol with Sridevi: Champagne chemistry on screen: Cold water off


I'll give due credit to both stars on this; though they famously didn't get along, you could never tell on the big screen, on camera, in stills...
