Sridevi's golden dance costume for Nigahein: Nagina Part II

Think the only sequel Sridevi ever appeared in, the movie opened phenomenally... and then plummeted at the box-office. Released just days before Chandni, Sridevi was her slimmest and trimmest in the movie and looks and dances phenomenally. She was all of 25 when she shot the film and peak prowess... Her finale dance number could have been a pale version of the original Main Teri Dushman song and dance routine, but it had fare more difficult steps and she looked dazzling.

Sridevi

We follow Boney Kapoor's social media handles only in hope he'll post rare images of Sridevi from his private collection of family pics. On occasion, he'll do a golden drop, ie release a rarely seen picture of "the great Sridevi" and have us all gushing.

Sridevi on the sets of Garajna. A part of me wants to see this film to see the magic that was Sridevi. Another part doesn't as... it might be an awful film (like Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin)... that does little for the legacy of Sridevi.

Sridevi with Janhvi Kapoor: A trending fake pic

Sure its pretty, sure its sweet and I'm sure its well-intended. However, it is still a fake pic. And its trending. And its not real. Its as synthetic as can be.
