Dimple Kapadia's lol quote on the Sridevi Rajesh Khanna pairing!

During Rajesh Khanna mania, the media and movie industry rarely criticised 'Kakaji'. Going up against the behemoth fame and fan-following of the biggest star in India (at the time) was not for those in fear of his famed temper and wrath.

Dimple Kapadia, his ex-wife, however had no such qualms about calling a spade a spade. When images of a much older Rajesh Khana with newcomer Sridevi were released in print in the early '80s , she had a lot to say... and lol at.

With her tongue firmly in cheek, Kapadia said of the aging superstar and ex-hubby, "He's too fat and old these days. He's balding too. How can he afford to do these stupid roles that make him look so silly?"she said to... Filmfare magazine we think.

Later she said,"He's a great actor, who ought to stick to the kind of roles in which he is best."

When asked about who her favourite actress is, Dimple Kapadia said in the same feature, "The best heroine around today is, unquestionably Sridevi. She's miles ahead of the rest and I am a great admirer of her. If you ask me who my favourite is, the answer would be simple, Sridevi. She is number one. Even you have said that."

Word.
