Shabana Azmi with Sridevi over the years. India's most acclaimed actress [before you pelt us to contradict that - google and see the awards and nominations Azmi has garnered over her illustrious career], Shabana Azmi was 12 years Sridevi's senior.
The opposite ends of the movie spectrum, Shabana Azmi praised Sridevi and her performances early on, seeing her pull off fine and even nuanced performances in her glamorous and commercial films. The two never worked together in a film (Sri did work with Smita Patel in Nazrana) as their paths and films were distinctly different - however we wonder in new-age Bollywood, what it would have been like to see these two together.
Shabana Azmi worked with Rekha, Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit - the leading ladies of the 90s - but her repertoire will always be incomplete not having shared screen space with the Devi herself. Sridevi.
