The oldest trick in the book; trying to look younger and cutesy on screen? Get those plats on.
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.

Leading ladies in plats: Trying to look younger!
Famous Fan: Konkona Sen Sharma, "I love Sridevi..."
Born on Dec 3, the very fine actress (and a first-rate director!) Konkona Sen Sharma turns a year older today. We wish the famous fan of Sridevi well. A throwback to this quote from 2013.
Q: Last year [2012] has been a great year for Hindi films and for women-centric roles. Do you think we are finally moving away from formulaic roles?
Konkana Sen Sharma: I think we get excited very quickly. I mean I loved English Vinglish and I love Sridevi but English Vinglish still needs a Sridevi to get made, it’s not like it’s just any unknown actor. I definitely think we do have more films like Kahaani, I think Vidya has done a lot for this cause, which is great. So I think it’s happening, it’s probably happening very slowly and also more than our actors or actresses, we are very heavily dependent on our star system because to get funding you need a star. That’s very unfortunate, kind of ‘Catch 22’ situation to be in."

Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in Mr.India: The two most famous on-screen costumes
The look Anil had throughout the film - and Sridevi's famed blue chiffon sari.
"I am a great admirer of Sridevi, she's wonderful," Ismail Merchant. TBT to Rendez Vous with Simi Garewal: Circa 1998-1999
Shot in 1999, this was just around the time Sridevi had left movies but her memory lingered. "I am a great admirer of Sridevi," said Merchant.
You can see the clip here (scroll to 10.38!).
