Jeetendra and Sridevi

Jeetendra and Sridevi: Box-office King and Queen of Bollywood in the early 1980s... 

Woman in Red: Sridevi

So gorgeous. From early 80s cover shoot for a magazine. Outtakes. Sridevi looks so pretty in glittering red.

Village belle or Modern Swell

 No matter what the part, Sridevi slipped into her roles with such seeming ease. She looked like a doll - no matter what the get-up or look, she looked amazing.

Jaya Prada, Jeetendra and Sridevi

This cover of Mayapuri magazine - Hindi language tabloid - with the top stars of the time; Jaya Prada, Jeetendra and Sridevi. The trio worked in several films together, many of which were blockbusters in Bollywood.

Sridevi's pink village belle outfit from her film Adutha Varisu (1983) Guess she repeated the look for a Hindi film too. 

Gauri Shinde with Sridevi

Of muses and movie stars. What a perfect combo these two were with a film and ad together. Sridevi loved working with Gauri Shinde so much, she told her, "I'll be your assistant in your next film." Alas...

Sridevi - mellow in yellow

Looking so pretty in films and ads, Sridevi in the 1980s.

Sridevi: Light and Shade

Sridevi rockin' shades at event. She looks so cool.

Sridevi poses for Dabur in a yellow sari from Chandni (1989)

Sridevi on the sets of Chandni - however these stills were used often in the popular ad for Dabur hair oil. In the movie, Sridevi sported a longer wig, but for the advert, they used Sri's natural curls.

Below, cover shot of Sridevi in Indian magazines. I'm guessing in the rush to print, they didn't check the final image as they printed the image the wrong way around (R). We corrected the layout (L) but the wordings are flipped!

Sridevi at a wedding

Sridevi seen here at a hotel lobby with the staff And also with actress Sheeba. Sheeba came into Bollywood with a bang but left with a whimper. She married into society and is seen in all the right circles till date and remains close to several celebs - including the Kapoors.

Meanwhile, how tall and stunning Sri looks - and so elegant in her shimmering sari.

Seen here with Anupam Kher and choreographer Farah Khan - long before she became the successful film director and producer and television personality. And humourist!

Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Sridevi in Majaal (1987)

On the sets of the film Majaal, Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Sridevi.

Sridevi and Jeetendra as opposing counselors in the film. Sridevi as a lawyer... she really has done every role imaginable on film.

Released on April 1987, the film was produced by Jaya Prada's husband Srikanth Nahata. The rivalry between Jaya Prada and Sridevi is legendary; but business is business. Even she knew having Sridevi in the film would up the value of it in distribution.
