TBT: Sridevi: return of Sex and Glamour



Sridevi's sensuality on screen was described thus in the 80s in tabloids! Sigh.. The media brethren weren't always up to par in Bollywood film journalism.

This was the first cover of Showtime magazine, a sister publication to the film tabloid with the largest circulation of its time, the notorious and infamous, Stardust.

Sridevi was the star of the inaugural issue of Showtime magazine, an addition to keep up with the public demand for Bollywood tabloids - an era ago. Now as film magazines go down a downward spiral as free images and information is distributed first online, print media is circling the drain... 

Showtime shut shop decades ago. Stardust seems to be going into obscurity as well.
