Sridevi on the sets of Roop Ki Rani...

Flashback to Sridevi on the sets of the title song (there were a few in fact...) of Roop Ki Rani... She's absolutely amazing in this fun comedic dance number.

Sridevi's comedic styling for the title song of Roop Ki Rani... Even in this red and gold haze, she looks oh-so-cute!!

Sridevi on the sets of Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin with director Pankaj Parasher back in 1993!

Sridevi on the sets of Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin with director Pankaj Parashar back in 1993. Had this film been shot, edited, and produced properly, it had all the ingredients of a potential comic classic. Instead, released a staggering 11 years after its original production schedule - as clearly marked on the clapboard - the final cut that stumbled into theaters in 2004 was a stitched-together, nonsensical patch-job. 

If the producer had shown any foresight, he would have coordinated a proper schedule with Akshay Kumar and Sridevi and the original director, to complete the remaining portions once she returned to the screen post-marriage and motherhood, looking as radiant as ever. 

Instead, what reached audiences was a jarring, amateurish editing effort that proved painful to endure—especially for fans of Sridevi and Akshay, who had waited over a decade to see the duo in a worthy feature. A frustratingly squandered opportunity for all involved.

Stunning Sridevi in Nigahein (1989)

 

The uncredited as such but Sridevi was a superhero in Nigahein - she stopped bullets, saved the guy - not the other way around, was a magical shape-shifter...  She fought her own battles, didn't need a man, the hero, to rescue her.  It was also indicative of her life off-screen, she didn't need a big hero in her film - she was the highlight of several title/double roles for a reason. She was the great Sridevi. 

And my god she looked incredible in the movie. Have seen this film umpteen times just to see Sridevi in all her glory and gorgeousness.
