Sridevi: Instagram fakes and print originals

Overenthusiastic fans corrupt original images of Sridevi with unnecessary face tuning and editing to make Sridevi look... like an alternative cyber version of herself. A bizarre kink that reflects the creator's neurosis more than the actress'. Eg below; (L) the edit on Instagram, (R) the original picture by the late great Gautam da of Sunil Shetty and Sridevi.

There are a few accounts notorious for their poor taste and insane edits that make us gag - but we aren't providing them further fame here!

There are so many shoddy edits online on social media that its staggering. What's worse, the really good fakes. Composites, digitally altered images (and we aren't even broaching the lascivious ones!) that make us question the moral fiber of the maker...

There needs to be a legal recourse to ensure the legacy of Sridevi remains unscathed by the lunacy of ardent fanatics. Where is that fine line though? Where fandom jumps the gun to craziness?!

Sigh. Remember decade plus ago the cray cray clip of "Leave Britney alone?!" Well, leave Sridevi alone!
