By age 19, Sridevi had already won the Best Actress Filmfare award making her one of the youngest women to win the honours. Now the question is, has any other actress won that at such a young age? As a leading lady - not child artist or supporting actress...
We hear that Dimple Kapadia won Best Actress for her turn in Bobby and she was only 16... but with Rishi Kapoor revealing in his tell-all book, you could buy an award for as little as Rs 40,000 (which we suppose was a lot of money back in 1973... that seems of questionable merit. Hmm.
As a child artist, Sri won many accolades in Malayalam films, as a leading lady in Tamil films and national award for her Hindi films. Born to act; Devi, Sridevi!
When Dimple Kapadia won, she won the award in Bobby (1973) while sharing it with Jaya Bachchan for Abhimaan).
If we expand across pan-Indian cinema and non-Hindi Filmfare editions, Sridevi remains one of the youngest performers ever recognized in lead categories, taking home her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Tamil for Meendum Kokila (1981) at the age of 18.
