Sridevi: Femme Fatale: Sridevi's favourite things

Self portrait sketch by Sridevi! Some notes from this feature from the early 90s: 
1. Did she struggle to reach the top? "No, not really. I disappeared after Solva Saawan flopped. Unfortunately, the Padmalayas signed me for Himmatwala. I was absolutely surprised that it became a big hit. After that I said, 'Dekhte hain kya hoga'. Nice to feel that eventually, I made it!" 

3. From among the above lot, she likes Gumrah. "It is not a very challenging role but I've enjoyed every shot. Yes, it is different from my other roles." 

 4. About her heroes... 
 Amitabh Bachchan: "The Greatest!" 
Anil Kapoor: "Hard to please." 
Sanjay Dutt: "A gentleman." 
Salman Khan: "Talkative." 
Rishi Kapoor: "Spontaneous." 

8. By her own admittance, she loves to "eat traditional South Indian food like tamarind-rice and payasam." 

11. On the subject of singers, her favourites are, "Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton. Recently I heard Julio Iglesias and liked, 'To all the girls I've loved before'. The lady also loves romantic and country music. Quite hep, to say the least! 

12. She watches more than three movies a day, when free. Her favourites, "Charlie Chaplin and Laure and Hardy. I really love them. I also love to watch horror films of the Omen kind." Her favourite Hollywood star: "Meryl Streep."
