Famous Fan: Kajol, "Sridevi is a chameleon. She should open an acting school. She's my favourite."

On the soon-to-air episode of Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai (Anything can Happen), hosted by Anupam Kher, Indian actress Kajol spoke at length about how much she admires... Sridevi.

She expressed her love for the iconic Indian actress, who she was a fan of long before she herself started working in Bollywood.

“I used to love Sridevi and I still tell her that she should open a school where I will be the first student," she said to actor Anupam Kher, who himself has worked with Sridevi in several films and is a self-professed Sridevi fan.

"She is a chameleon, an actor in the true sense. If you watch her movie Chandni, Lamhe, Sadma, I feel all of it has something to offer for the character she is playing and for that matter even Khuda Gawah. She is just awesome. The most amazing part is that in her eyes you can’t see the age thing because she has that life and passion that she still wants to do something with her life,” stated Kajol on the popular TV show.

The Telugu film Kshana Kshanam (1991) was a massive Telugu hit - so the makers decided to try their luck by dubbing it in Hindi as Hairaan following the original's box-office success. The Hindi version was no great shakes but allowed hardcore Sridevi fans to have a look at her South Indian work.  

Sridevi went on to win two awards for this film; the Nandi Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu [memorably presented to her by Madhuri Dixit!] in 1992.
