Sridevi winning Best Actress Filmfare Award for Lamhe: Pretty in pink

 

Yeh Lamhe, yeh pal hum... barson yaad kareinge... Sridevi winning Best Actress at Filmfare was such a moment. Her porcelain beauty, there was something so strong yet fragile about her. A delicate... Diva!

Rare pics of Sridevi from the family album.

Rare pic of Sridevi's 27th birthday: Boney Kapoor, Rajeshwari (Sridevi's mother) and Sridevi

 

A picture posted by Boney Kapoor has sparked a furious debate on his comments section. We are... refraining from further comment.

But lovely to see a happy Sridevi with her family and friends celebrating her birthday. 

 

Sridevi with Govinda

 

Sridevi and Govinda on the sets of the only Hindi film they did together, Gair Kanooni, which released in early 1989,

We heard Govinda has been unwell and is in hospital. We wish the actor a speedy recovery. 

UPDATE: What a strange week its been for Bollywood. Not one but three iconic Indian actors were hospitalised, Dharmendra, 89, Prem Chopra, 90, and Govinda, 61. Happy to hear Dharmji and Govinda are home. We wish a speedy recovery to Chopra too. 

Best Acting Performance in a Dance? Sridevi in Dushman dil Ka jo from Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja

Best Acting Performance in a Dance? Sridevi in Dushman dil Ka jo from Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja

Sridevi acted so well in this song and dance routine - see her rage and grief and then doing those poerfect steps... 

Striking Sridevi. Completely fierce. The costume here... is a bit of a hodge podge mess but when you watch it, all you see is Sridevi's expressive face... 

There might have been better dancers who could act, but there's no actress who danced like this. 

Such sparks of genius in an otherwise tepid film...

Golden gal Sridevi in Vajrayudham (1985): Krishna and Sridevi's Telugu film

Sridevi with her hairdresser and then later on set with co-star Krishna in the Telugu film Vajrayudham (1985). For mega fans of Sridevi, you'll note she repeated the outfit in Masterji that same year, but with a different hairstyle.

The Bollywood hit Masterji released on May 31, 1985. 

The Telugu hit film Vajrayudham released on July 5, 1985. 

Sridevi and Rajesh Khanna in Masterji (1985) 

Though the popularity of video-cassettes hit India in 1983, unlike today, the Hindi film viewing audience and the Telugu film viewing audiences didn't mix as much, and Sridevi repeated popular looks or styles she personally liked. We have a bit of an archive of her 'repeat outfits' here. 

When we first started posting pics of Sridevi, we had a Telugu faction pelt us on Yahoo Groups (remember those?!), saying that we can written a wrong caption (below R pic) as her iconic look from Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari (1990) was repeated in Gurudev (1993).
