The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.

Stardust Annual Portrait: Sridevy by Vicky Idnaani
my phootoshoot @SrideviBKapoor for @Ramkamal's @Stardust_Magna annual. @anitadongre @tanya1ghavri @kantamotwani
Photographer Vickky Idnaani got a rare chance to take a portrait of the Queen of Bollywood Sridevi for Stardust annual. Gorgeous snap has gone viral online.
It's not the first time the young photographer got a chance to capture her on cam, he shot Sridevi for Stardust just before the release of her film English Vinglish.
From the magazine:
"...Gauri Shinde's much-acclaimed English Vinglish, which was also yesteryears-actor Sridevi's comeback film, is the second highest grossing film in Japan. The veteran star even traveled to Japan where the film was premiered in the presence of the country's first lady, Ms Akie Abe. The film is receiving positive response and doing well in international markets..."

Sporty Spice! Sridevi on the cricket field
Sridevi with Radha and Sivaji Ganesan in Sandhippu (1983)
Radha acted with Sridevi and Sivaji Ganesan in the Tamil blockbuster Sandhippu (1983)
Rare pics found online here. In the 1980s, the media often compared the two, much to the chagrin of Sridevi and her family. Sridevi's mother spoke to the press then and asked them, "Fine, Radha is also entering Hindi films, but why compare her to Sridevi?"
Indeed.
Sivagi Ganesan was 55 during the time of the film's release and his co-star Sridevi was 20!

Sridevi styled by Neeta Lulla
Neeta Lulla
From the early 1990s, to the National Award won by Neeta Lulla for her exquisite work in Lamhe, catwalk shows, show-stoppers and more, the symbiotic relationship between designer Neeta Lulla and her muse Sridevi is one of legend.
The two have created exquisite looks for Indian cinema, editorials in magazines, red carpet events and more. We hope the two team up again soon as Sri's back in films and looking lovelier than ever. As Sri's mentioned often over the years, Neeta remains a firm favorite over changing times and changing fashion. And why not, fads fade, style is forever.

English Vinglish is a film dipped in honey. Charming and delightful. Emotions are beautifully underplayed. You'll walk out with a smile. Sridevi carries the film on her shoulders and is simply fantastic. You cheer for her from the first frame to the end credits.

Sridevi's final speech in English Vinglish: Not a dry eye in the audience: Bollywood finest actress: Japanese poster of the Indian film
This scene kills us every time - Sri deserved all the awards and then some for EV. Strange are the ways of how Bollywood award functions work. Recently even Rekha, the ultimate Bollywood diva, made a slight dig at how award ceremonies are conducted in Mumbai during her interview with Rajeev Masand on CNN. Well now...
