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 Bollywood Hierarchy: Trending meme
A meme trending online, I only agree with the top tier! The rest is a hot mess. Of course, as the largest Sridevi page on the net, we fundamentally think Sridevi is the best that ever was... and ever will be.
The others... well..
Firstly, Rekha is a great actress, dancer and iconic beauty who deserves to be at the highest of echelons. You may not like the current version of MP Jaya Bachchan for her innumerable angry outbursts, but as Jaya Bhaduri, she was a multiple National award-winning actress who changed the form of the Indian leading lady and what was expected of her. She set the blueprint on which actresses like Tabu, Kajol and a host of others built their villas on. She may have been a somewhat vocal critic of others, but rarely was she wrong.
Manisha Koirala also deserves to be somewhere higher; 1942 a Love Story, Khamoshi established her position in the pantheon, decades ago.
The complete absence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is bizarre to me. She made more of an impact than... other names above.
Juhi Chawla's talent and tenure as a leading lady seems to be lost in a flurry of giggles, but give her a great role, dance, scene, she always delivers. She just came to Bollywood at a weird transitional time. On the plus side, I suppose it must help that her net worth is such, and self worth is such that these trending memes mean nothing to her. Or anyone else sensible!
