It really was a mutual admiration society between Sridevi and Salman Khan. Why else would she do the half-baked films Chandramukhi and Chand Ka Tukda?!

Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor in their last film together Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha (1997): 90s Murder Mystery

Sridevi looking absolutely gorgeous in the song Chanchal hawaon ne... from the murder mystery Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha (1997): 

Looking stunning in one of her many iconic looks, a repeat take on the classic yellow sari. 

Sridevi favoured monochrome saris for their visual impact on screen with studied precision in songs. She knew what would be high-impact on the big screen; be it the blue chiffon sari in Mr.India, the red in Jaanbaaz, the white lace in Chandni - and so on. 

These publicity stills from Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha (1997), from the song Chanchal hawaon se were so popular in the 90s. She dances so gracefully and elegantly in the movie - choreographed by her frequent collaborator Saroj Khan.  

Watch the thriller Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhoota on streaming platforms - see if you guess who the murderer is! 

BTW this became the last film Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi did together, a film produced by their mutual friend Rakesh Roshan, who saw a decent profit for the low-budget film. 




Woman in Red: Sridevi in Laadla

Fierce Sridevi on the sets of Laadla. Though her co-star Anil Kapoor held the title role, the movie is mostly remembered for Sridevi's stellar performance.

Sridevi on working with Yash Chopra in Chandni (1989)

Sridevi, "...A good director can make the world of a difference... Now, take the case of my own Chandni. The subject itself was very simple. But it was the director’s touch that made the world of a difference. Yash Chopra is a very artistic and poetic director. I am really looking forward to working with him a lot..."
