Sridevi with Rekha: Behind the Scenes: Superstars on set

Sridevi with Rekha

Mirror, mirror by my hand, 
Am I the fairest of the land?
Is it me or is it her?
Who knows - who can be sure?
But while I sit with this lady
Hope you're kind, don't be shady! 


Sridevi with Rekha on the sets of the film Nazrana. Pouting and preening for the paparazzi that had gathered to capture two cine-icons of Indian cinema, the two South-Indian beauties were the biggest stars of Indian cinema.

By the mid-1980s, the cine-zines had already crowned Sridevi as the Queen of Bollywood, shuffling aside Rekha (one of the great beauties and actresses of all-time). While the media tried to insinuate the two were arch rivals, the friends laughed it off. The alleged rift between the two came much later.

Note - alleged rift. We don't really know what happened as film journalism in the 1980s is highly suspect. As we read scans of old magazines, we consume each byte with a pinch of salt. Focus on the pics, ignore most of the speculation and gossip.
