Sridevi with Shahrukh Khan: The Original: The AI Edit and Enhanced version!


Sridevi with Shahrukh Khan: The Original: The AI Edit and Enhanced version! 

The two on the sets of Army - which was one of the few films choreographed by Farah Khan for Sridevi (Sridevi usually worked with Saroj Khan and Chinni-Prakash). 


Amitabh Bachchan's throwback to 1990 with Sridevi, Neelam

 

Amitabh Bachchan is 83 years old and a maverick, at this age, on social media, with a whopping 37.3 million followers (and counting!). 

His throwback posts reveal much. And sometimes little. 

We are allll for nostalgic posts especially with Sridevi! Obviously...

Women written by Women: Three Women wrote leading characters on film and Sridevi rocked them out



The most well-known female writers (screenwriters/story/dialogue writers) who contributed to films starring Sridevi include:
  • Honey Irani — She wrote the story and screenplay for Lamhe (1991), where Sridevi played a dual role as mother and daughter, Pallavi and Pooja. 
  • Gauri Shinde — As writer-director, she wrote English Vinglish (2012), Sridevi's acclaimed comeback film where she played Shashi Godbole.
  • Kamna Chandra — She wrote the story for Chandni (1989), directed by Yash Chopra, with Sridevi in the lead as a woman in a love triangle.
These are the only three prominent examples of women writers who crafted significant roles or stories for Sridevi, often in female-centric or empowering narratives.
Cannot think of others, but mostly as writers are rarely given the spotlight in India - even today. Salim-Javed, Gulzar, and to a certain extent Kader Khan (mostly because he was also famous on camera, not just behind the scenes) are the only well-known, successful names in Bollywood that come to mind.

Released on 25 March 1994, the film was a runaway success. 

At the 40th Filmfare Awards, Sridevi was Nominated Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress – Raveena Tandon!

The film runs purely on the metal of Sheetal - Sridevi's performance.

Celebrating Sridevi and Govinda's only film together: Gair Kanooni (1989)

 

Celebrating Sridevi and Govinda's only film together: Gair Kanooni (1989)! 

Released on 24 March 1989, the long-delayed film (Sridevi and Govinda shrink and enlarge in scenes to a rather comical effect!) was a surprise hit.

Personally, not a huge fan of the film, but it sure has its moments of comedic flair, which came so naturally to both stars.
