Jaya Prada and Sridevi at a party at Jeetendra's house

Ah the Bollywood ladies of the 80s seated together;  Padmini Kolhapure, Poonam Dhilloon, Jaya Prada and Sridevi. With an occasional pop of Jeetendra to really booze up this Bollywood cocktail!

But as the series of images show, all cameras were pointed at arch rivals Jaya Prada and Sridevi, the former let her uncensored opinions let loose in several media outlets over the years. Sridevi preferred to keep a far more dignified silence on the topic of competition and rivalry (she was famously pitted against all her contemporaries from Radha, Rekha, Hema Malini, Dimple Kapadia and any leading lady of her time).

So much speculation on the two Southern sensations and their thinly-gossamer-veiled rivalry! The media played it up heaps - we have several magazine covers and bold-faced headlines screaming about which actress hated the other... Wonder if it helped sales of the rags and magz....the pre-internet phase of click bait.



I don't know what party this is but wow! To gather all these lovely ladies together and get them on the same couch.  Must have been a Jeetendra party - as all the women in these pics have co-starred with him and he's the only male star in the mix!
