“Mrs. Sridevi Kapoor, astounding talent
was not luck. It was well deserved and she worked for it from childhood.
I have known her from her teens and she was a child when she worked
with me. Mr. (K) Balachander gave me the responsibility of correcting
her acting and dance moves. When she came she was not as talented but
she developed every day and learnt. I was astounded by her trying. She
was fond of me and I fond of her. Her tracks diverted and she became a
superstar in Hindi films. She acted in 27 films with me and in all
languages. The moments we had together were all in film shootings. We
worked continuously that her personal life was on the periphery. The
kind of dedication she had truly matched mine. No wonder we were fond of
each other.
I saw her last month and we are not prone to showing
emotions but we both hugged each her. The Sadma song rings in my ears
now and it’s a great lullaby for this talented and beautiful Sridevi.
She had a happy life. My deepest condolences to the family, her children
and I know how much she loved her daughters. I found both mother and
daughter cuddling each other and I made fun of her. Poor child is going
to miss all that.”
