Sridevi: Strike a pose

A pose Sridevi did often... Be it in the 1980s or 90s.... 

One on the sets of Tohfa, the other for Gautam da... 

The Paintings Sridevi did: The artist: The Artiste!

Sridevi really got into Twitter back in the day - and she'd post regularly and we'd get these rare glimpses into her private life - the parts she wanted to share... 

The Michael Jackson fandom for his songs and dances - she spoke of often. She'd have loved the movie Michael. 

Mithun Chakraborty's rare quote on Sridevi; "Sridevi is a wonderful person, a terrific actress."

COINCIDENCES CAN BE ROMANTIC

"The last time I met Sridevi, was on the last day of the shooting. After that I have been out of town and out of the country very often. So where is the question of our meeting?"

The Mithun-Sridevi rumour is almost at its peak according to Mithun. "I'm not saying anything," he laughs, "because I've been this way before. In the gossip mags it starts off with attraction, then seeing each other, visiting one another's location, getting married, finally they have two children and then they split. It's all very very routine." He's now waiting for the rumours of his next child, (his wife Yogeeta delivered a son recently) after which it will all be over.

And yet he adds seriously, "What worried me is that I have met Sridevi's entire family. They are an orthodox, well-brought up sort of family and I wonder how they react to the talk that I have even bought a bungalow for her. It's okay for me, I'll survive all this but what about her?"

According to Mithun the rumours started when he likened Sridevi to Vyjayanthimala and then added that he had a crush on the latter. "A lot was read into my statement," he complains. "Sridevi and I have worked together only in one film, 'Jaag Utha Insaan', and we became good friends on location in Guntur the way I am with everybody. We would all get together (he, Raakesh [Roshan], K. Vishwanath) and have fun. Sridevi often joined in. I think she's a wonderful person, a terrific actress and nothing, least of all rumours inking her with me, will make me change my opinion. The last time I met her, was on the last day of shooting of 'Jaag Utha Insaan'. After that I have been out of town and out of the country very often. So where's the question of our meeting?"

Sridevi in Pathar Ke Insan (1990): The blue chiffon sari

Sridevi on the sets of Pathar Ke Insan (1990), working yet another blue-chiffon sari. Sri looked so great in the movie. Pity the film wasn't so great... 

The movie was brought up in conversation the other day as Tanisa Mukherjee spoke highly of Sridevi's performance in the movie - a film made by her father Shomu Mukherjee! 

BTW the silver jewellery, the blue chiffon sari... its very similar look and styling to Sridevi's iconic Kate nahin katthe song...
